You may have less than 4 hours to play Piranha Plant Pipeline legally today. Mario Kart Tour for mobile shuts down September 29, 2026. Piranha Plant Pipeline is available by 11pm western time, then the courses change again.

This game is very controversial with its use of monetization/mobile bs structure. But the tracks and gameplay are still very well made. A majority of its tracks can be found on the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Booster Course Pass, however Piranha Plant Pipeline is EXCLUSIVE to Mario Kart Tour.

There are also several past tracks that seem to only be "remastered" on Tour including:

• Bowser’s Castle 1/2/4 (SNES/GBA/3DS)
• Cheep-Cheep Island (GBA)
• Cheep Cheep Lagoon (3DS)
• Choco Island 1-2 (SNES)
• Daisy Hills (3DS)
• Donut Plains 1-2 (SNES)
• Ghost Valley 1-2 (SNES)
• Koopa Troopa Beach (N64)
• Lakeside Park (GBA)
• Luigi Circuit (GBA)
• Luigi’s Mansion (3DS)
• Luigi Raceway (N64)
• Mario Circuit (3DS)
• Peach Circuit (GBA)
• Vanilla Lake 1 (SNES)

While older courses may not sound too noteworthy, I believe these are the only iterations that appear in crisp HD or whatever resolution your phone is.

What's probably more noteworthy is all of Mario Kart Tour's courses also contain an R (Reverse), T (Trick), and r/T (Reverse/Trick) variations which completely change the way you race with ramps and other obstacles throughout the course. There are also Christmas, New Years, and Halloween variations of tracks.

In addition to all that, there are exclusive remix tracks including:

• RMX Choco Island 1-2
• RMX Donut Plains 1
• RMX Ghost Valley 1
• RMX Mario Circuit 1
• RMX Rainbow Road 1-2
• RMX Vanilla Lake 1

The good news is, I've already seen some mods out there that added these tracks to Mario Kart 8. But a 100% preservation effort, I haven't seen anything like that, especially on mobile.

I want to bring attention to the community because Dr. Mario World disappeared without preservation and is now lost media. Even if you don't think something is special, doesn't mean it's not worth preserving, especially in the right hands. Fans have made bad games good, and Mario Kart Tour is really just a case of greedy store front/random availability. The tracks are all mixed up for no reason, but hackers could probably fix this.

Some noteworthy exclusive characters include:

• Ice Bro
• Fire Bro
• Dixie Kong
• King Bob-omb
• Poochy

And there's countless costume variations, karts, and gliders you can't find anywhere else. The game went hard with monetization.

I honestly have no idea how any preservation works or if it even can work with Mario Kart Tour's random track availability. But I'm doing my part know getting the word for the off chance game preservationists will do something Nintendo doesn't seem willing to do. Even though each new entry in the franchise brings back old tracks, the amount of exclusive variations Tour has means this version of the game is very endangered.

A 2016/2017 documentary film about John Casablancas, father of the Strokes' lead singer Julian Casablancas, and infamous founder of the Elite model agency, one of the most influential modeling agencies in the world. He also had close ties to Epstein, the Trump Family, Woody Allen and other known sexual predators. He also married a 17 year old when he was 50.

I looked into his biography a bit and would love to learn more, so I went looking for this documentary. Eerily enough it has since apparently vanished from the streaming sphere. It's like it was scrubbed.

I've checked all the main legal sites (netflix, Amazon, etc), about 3 dozen non-official streamers (even when they appear to have it, the links to various servers are all dead), three torrent sites (can't remember which ones), eBay, etc etc and can't find it anywhere.

I'm specifically looking for this documentary film, not the 1970s film of a similar title. The facts that a similarly titled film exists, and that his son is way more famous, coupled with the whole Epstein/Trump connection makes this an SEO nightmare...

I'm in Europe, but have tried some vpn-ing, just not every country in the world. So suggestions are welcome! I haven't scoured the way back machine, because I wouldn't know where to start to be honest. I found one lead about it being accessible through the US library system, but since I'm not us based that's a dead end for me I think. I would appreciate any leads.

I am so pleased to say that I have found the whole song after many years of this being lost media.

Come on, let's go to a place I know

In Ontario, where the Green Belt grows

Don't think twice, take my advice

This local paradise is so very nice!

I am so happy. This song was in my head for years, and I kept searching. Every post I could find led to a dead end, and I eventually thought I had imagined it. After searching again recently, I finally located the full version. I'm posting it here in case anyone else remembers hearing it and has been looking for it as well. Hopefully this helps close the search for anyone who came across the older discussions that never reached an answer. GREENBELT SONG

If this is as lost as it appears to be, it’s pretty ironic! I just found out that there is an online museum of forgotten art supplies- but it appears to have been forgotten.

Apparently, designer Lou Brooks, who I just learned designed the iconic 1985 Monopoly Man (amongst many other things) was assembling an online directory of obscure or forgotten art supplies. It looks like it started on a blog (I originally found the blog post linked from a 2009 forum post), but expanded to its own site later on. Users would submit images and possibly text, and Brooks would upload them to the site with a description. Unfortunately, it appears that Brooks passed away in 2021. Soon after, the site began to display “Will be back soon…” and it doesn’t appear to have been updated in 4 years. From what I gather, every link now redirects to a page with this text.

When I checked the Internet Archive, it seems like a fair amount is missing from the site. It appears that many thumbnails are there, but then the text is missing. On some posts, the text is there but the thumbnail is missing. The archival seems to be pretty disjointed at best, with some links redirecting only to more recent broken pages, or unfinished earlier versions.

The crazy part, though, is that it was widely known. Brooks has a section about the site on his Wikipedia page, there are numerous articles about it (including Hyperallergic and Wired), and many other references online. There is a 4k+ member Facebook community, but it looks like it’s all spam ads from hacked accounts. Honestly, I really hope that I am misunderstanding the situation and it is more accessible than it appears!

If anyone else sees this and is interested or can find out how to access all the information on the site, I would love to see it. Outside of my personal affinity for obscure art supplies, it actually seems like a pretty interesting part of history.

I might be posting this prematurely, but I just went down an analog graphic design rabbit hole via another reddit post I saw that discussed stat cameras… and it’s 3 am so my judgement might not be in the right place HAHA. Also, I am on my phone right now, so my difficulty could be an access issue from my side. Thank you for reading!

I'm documenting the current preservation status of the Belgian animated series Kika & Bob, as much of Season 2 appears to be unavailable today despite evidence that it was produced and broadcast.

Kika & Bob is an animated children's adventure series created by Vincent Bal and Colette Bothof. The series follows Kika, a young girl, and Bob, a firefighter, who are blown away by a tornado while rescuing Kika's cat from a church tower in Waterloo, Belgium. They spend the series traveling around the world trying to return home while introducing viewers to different countries and cultures.

According to available sources, the series ran from 2007 to 2014 and consists of 52 episodes across two seasons. It aired on Ketnet and was distributed internationally. The existence of both seasons is documented by multiple sources, including the official website, IMDb, and the Dutch Wikipedia page.

Current preservation status

As part of researching the series, I have confirmed that Season 1 survives. Through a private collector, I was able to obtain a complete copy, meaning that season is no longer considered missing.

However, Season 2 appears to be a different story. Despite checking public archives, archived websites, and collector communities, I have not been able to find a complete surviving copy.

An additional complication is that Vincent Bal has uploaded some surviving Kika & Bob material to the Internet Archive, but these uploads do not appear to include Season 2. From information I've gathered, much of the original material was discarded over the years, making surviving broadcasts and private recordings potentially the only remaining sources.

Evidence that the series existed

• Official website: https://www.kikaandbob.com/
• IMDb listing documenting the series and episode count: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1087883/
• Dutch Wikipedia article: https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kika_en_Bob
• Vincent Bal's Internet Archive uploads: https://archive.org/search?query=creator%3A%22Vincent+Bal%22

Based on the currently available evidence, Season 2 appears to be partially or largely lost, while Season 1 has been preserved.

If anyone has additional documentation such as broadcast information, release details, archived promotional material, or information about surviving recordings it would help establish a more complete preservation history of the series.

Hi everyone ! First time posting here but this is really driving me nuts because I keep thinking about it every day and I feel like I'm the only one who know this. I just want to say that my English is bad so I use translation to help me explain what I'm searching for.

When I was a kid playing the popular Flash game 'The Waitress' (by D-mah), I clicked on one of the external links on the page (when you arrived at the main page) and then that redirected me to a video page. (I used to do this a lot as a kid because it would send le to a 'ew flash game website that I don't know and find new games that's why I used to click on external links on the main page)

The video was a 2D animation featuring a woman walking (I think at night, dark atmosphere with maybe a shade of blue ?) with a song sang by a female singer. I can't remember the exact language (could be English, Russian, or Arabic something similar, but not Asian). That's alla I remember, I do remember just a little bit of the melody but not enough for something to find the sound.

Does anyone remember this specific animation video or the song tied to this link/website back in the 2000s?

Please tell me I'm not the only one..Thank you if you can help me !!

Something I had been looking for anyway, but it's very topical all of a sudden:

The English version of an 8 part Oddyssey series

This is missing, last seen on TVO, Canada. The Odyssey (the actual one, by Homer, the Greek poet) was turned into a TV series in 1968. It was shot rather beautifully, with plenty of authentic locations, using 35mm film. It is probably the most faithful adaptation done to this day. It was an Italian-French-German-Yugoslavian coproduction with an international cast (surprisingly, Barbara Bach is there too).
People tend to see it primarily as Italian, so you might see it listed as "Odissea", but they dubbed the voices too. Basically all languages were dubbed on later. So it's hard to say what was the primary language.

There was an English spoken edition which was shown in Canada by TV Ontario several times, until the early 1980s. Exact last date unknown but the station has confirmed this to me. No-one knows who owned/owns that, or who made it. In fact, it might even be fully lost in the severest sense of no copies remaining in existence on earth.
Yes, there are English subtitles, but that is not the same. There also was a TV movie version in English circulating, which was recorded off air from CBS, but that is extremely abridged. So those options don't really solve it.

I keep hoping that perhaps a teacher somewhere might have taped it to use in the classroom? Anyone?

I’m trying to locate a specific Ngannou vs. Gane highlights video that was around four minutes long and was most likely uploaded to YouTube.

The video used an uplifting and energetic song, possibly an instrumental track. When I tried to find it again, I could no longer locate the original version. Either the song was removed, muted, or replaced because of copyright, or the entire video was deleted or made private.

Unfortunately, I don’t remember the channel name, exact upload title, or URL. I have checked several Ngannou vs. Gane highlight videos, but none of them appear to be the version I remember.

My main goal is to find the original video or an archived/reuploaded copy of it, not just identify the song. Does anyone remember this upload or know where an older version might be archived?

Hello netizens of the internet.

I request for your help. While I was trying to compile the list of Malaysian political party anthem, I hit a brick wall when I tried to find the song for Parti Rakyat Malaysia.

All Wikipedia pages and websites regarding this party all list the song of the party as “Demi Rakyat”. However, because the party went extinct years ago, I suspect that it wasn’t archived properly.

Anyone from Malaysia, does anyone know where I can find anything about this song? I thank you for reading this far…

PS.: Do not be fooled by the Parti Rakyat Malaysia YouTube Channel. The song in one of the videos is actually the instrumental for the MPAJA song called Liberate Malaysia (Bebaskan Malaya).

Hi. If you have been on animation or art spaces on the internet there is a high chance you have heard of the animation meme artist Birdie. He was known for having some alternative accounts, most are archived except for "Wendy the burrito tyronias ex wife and girlfriend" which is now entirely lost with zero uploads. We have a link but no videos have been archives so far. All the videos of at least a majority of them on the wendy the burrito channel were drawn in MS paint from what I can remember. The artist behind it is no longer active on the internet so we barely have any means of contact.
here is the channel link https://www.youtube.com/@wendytheburritotyroniasexw8463

It shows that the last update was for a season 6. The only memory I have was it was a 5v5 hero shooter super similar to overwatch. The publisher is deca games EOOD. They do have a website and some patch notes about the game but from what I know it’s fully lost because it was live service. Try your best yall I’ll add a picture in the replies if I can. Thanks for any help even the smallest things are appreciated❤️ there’s a YouTube video that a YouTuber made called Joye that explains a bit more. And there is also a lot of gameplay by @zyper_youtube

Looking for a deleted Instagram reel from @drankdrankdrank. It featured a grey cat walking outdoors with grass and mountains in the background. The video was vertically squished, giving the cat a funny stretched appearance. The original audio was someone saying, “drop it like it’s h—,” with “hot” bleeped out, over background music. One of the top comments said something about “aura farming.” The account disappeared around July 21–22, and the reel and original audio vanished with it. As far as I know, this video is now completely lost. Does anyone have a screen recording, download, or repost of it anywhere?
