You know, that's a very astute observation, I actually went back and checked the promo art for those two and you're dead on! Thanks for the correction

Ah yes, my favorite characters. Goomba and Gloomba. They really chose the most important goombas for this theme.

Imagine Watching KZread On the Paper Mario Browser

Has that dated but charmingly simple quality that marked so much early-2000s media and Internet aesthetic, doesn’t it? (Ask Jeeves, anyone?) This is also unintentionally amusing in that a popular Google Translated mod of the game, Mario, “Bowser” gets garbled into “Browser” throughout.

I really enjoyed the creativity of this era. Around every corner you'll see something new, like voice controls on Hey You Pikachu, the mobile phone connectivity for pokemon crystal, e-reader cards, all that. Everything is very streamlined now and often lacks that same magic for me

Netscape Navigator is still the best browser of all time. Back on Windows 95. Man those were the days.

I like how the window is shaped like a worn sheet of paper instead of a standard square. I didn't even know that was possible.

@joshjones7605

Probably is technically a square but has transparency around the edge to give the illusion it’s not a square

At first, I thought this was about accessing the internet browser in the game. Still surreal to see such an obscure piece of media from the 2000s that I didn't know it existed.

4:19 I agree, but MediaBrowser probably didn't know anything about Paper Mario and were just given artwork by Nintendo.

There might be a higher chance that the direct links would be accessible :) the links on the side use a mediabrowser "forwarder" link which is less likely it could have been snapshotted

@@paperking64 wish nintendo would realize that everything they do or have done is archived and we will find it eventually, so they should just make it more easily accessible 😅

The reason none of these work on recent versions of Windows is that they’re not really browsers in and of themselves; they’re basically just containers which embed Internet Explorer. Because recent versions of Windows no longer have IE, there is nothing for them to use and so they can’t run. Compatibility modes basically emulate old bugs or other behaviors for existing programs, but it all works on top of what is already there. Since IE is no longer present, there is nothing to fall back on, and it’s not feasible for Microsoft to adapt all its behaviors to Edge.

What is this gameplay?!
