As of May 31, 2023 a copy of World Tour was found and uploaded to archvie.org by reddit user BakuDD and Osamu Sato Discord member potato impact made this statement. basically, baku acquired his copy from an auction last year, still sealed. back in January, he told another collector, beanstalk, that he owned it & was hesitant to open it. they reached a deal where bean would buy a limited edition Japanese 3do game and ship it to baku, and in return, baku would open his copy of rp2 and dump/scan it. thus making Roly Poly World Tour officially found.
Since i suck at editing pages can someone edit for me?
Looks like someone already edited the page before I got to it, but I refined the infobox just a bit just to clarify who found what. What exciting news!!
The article credits me for helping with the upload, but that was all Baku. I'd say Beanstalk deserves more credit since he negotiated the trade that led to the game getting dumped. I just happen to be in his server and got to see all the updates on the situation as they came out.
