Nobody is quite sure who Pop Fizz was before he became an alchemist, least of all Pop Fizz himself. After many years of experimenting with magical potions, his appearance has changed quite significantly. In fact, no one even knows his original color. But it’s widely known that he is a little crazy, his experiments are reckless, and the accidents they cause are too numerous to measure. Understandably, he has had a difficult time finding lab partners, or anyone that even wants to be near him. In hopes of making himself more appealing to others, he attempted to create the most effective charm potion ever, but that just turned him into a big, wild, berserker. Or maybe that’s just how he saw the potion working in the first place.

Red and blue could mean only one thing: this challenge takes place in the Mystical Vault. You have seven minutes to complete three laps. Any leftover time is added as a bonus to your score. Large potions are worth five times as much as the small potions.
If you haven’t raced in Mystical Vault yet, the track can be a bit confusing. The track has both red and blue gates, but only one color is active at a time. Every 10 seconds, a creature sneezes and the active color changes. For this challenge, the color change includes the potions. Most potions are in line with gates of the same color, but there are a few exceptions. Don’t forget to dive under the water from time to time. There are potions lurking beneath the surface!
Overview
Pop Fizz’s new contraption for carrying his potions doubles as a weapon to battle the forces of Kaos. After unlocking Mixture Modifier and Genetic Engineering, potion color plays a big part of Pop Fizz’s attacks. The green potion turns his base attack into a green ball, while the beast mode attack is a breath weapon. The blue potion base attack is a bouncing bubble. In beast mode,
Pop Fizz becomes the bouncing bubble. The yellow potion base attack knocks back enemies, and in beast form he spins in place with his arms extended.
