Paper Mario World Demo from late 2001 found.

I like researching about old MFGG games. It's a weird interest for me, as someone who wasn't there in the early days of MFGG. One of these games is Paper Mario World, one of the worst recieved games on MFGG as a whole. It actually has quite the history and I've spent the past few days trying to find out more about it. Why I want to recover stuff from such a terrible game? Not sure! Just general interest in this kind of stuff. After spending last night going through dead links from the Wayback machine and digging through Superadammario's old Geocities website, I was able to find a demo for Paper Mario World from late 2001. For those who don't know, the version of Paper Mario World we all know and love(?) isn't the original version. It's a modified version called Paper Mario World Gold created by Yoshiman, attempting to make it even slightly better. As far as I know, the original Paper Mario World was only up for a few months, and it's download link simply goes to a 404 page on the Wayback Machine. If, by a one in a million chance that someone downloaded the original and had it on an old hard drive between March and August of 2002, please send it over as a reply in this thread.

Something I'm even more interested in is Paper Mario World 2 (Not the one by GeneralGuy. The actual Paper Mario World 2 by Superadammario.) There was a demo made for Paper Mario World 2 that was eventually scrapped, according to both the wiki article, an old video from 2009 of Superadammario playing the demo, and a Commander Keen fangame he made with a broken PMW2 Demo button, this demo could exist somewhere out there. According to the thread, the PMW2 demo was given to Yoshiman and posted it.. somewhere. (It's unknown if it was actually posted in 2005, as the wiki pages for PMW 1 and 2 get quite a few dates wrong.) All of this might be considered weird and kinda stupid. But hey, I'm just trying to archive MFGG history.
