Today, we're going to explore a Paper Mario themed internet browser created by MediaBrowser, Inc. in 2000. MediaBrowser was a company that partnered with Nintendo to create many Nintendo-themed internet browsers. During the Dot Com Bubble of the early 2000s, MediaBrowser had a big opportunity to capitalize on this internet craze, and created a unique way to surf the web with your favorite characters. Let's fire up the virtual machine and give it a look!

That is not a gloomba. That is the blue goomba brother along with the red one!

@paperking64 28 дней назад

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

@Loogus_Baloogus 29 дней назад

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

@paperking64 29 дней назад

Right? Like they still had partners left to work with lol

@MrNobody_37 28 дней назад

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.

@paperking64 28 дней назад

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.

@erika_fuzzbottom 28 дней назад

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 27 дней назад

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

I wish I could find even a screenshot of the flash game I remember playing on the promotional website before the game's release. It was Mario crossing a lava river on rocks and I think Kammy was on the other side

@Leo98pm 29 дней назад

Such a fun, short video. Would love to see more of this!

@paperking64 29 дней назад

Thank you for your input 🩷 will be taking this into consideration for future vids. Might still make some memes since they're quick and easy to put out, but I want to make more long-form videos mixed in

@Deley18 27 дней назад

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.

The Peach art comes from original promo material :) you can find it on Princess Peach's page on the Paper Mario fandom wiki

Awesome overview, had no idea Paper Mario had a browser like this- I perhaps wonder if the busted links on the sidebar could be accessed using the Wayback Machine? :3

@paperking64 28 дней назад

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

@PaulFisher 28 дней назад

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.
