POPEE the Performer Carnival is a desktop accessory CD-ROM developed by Livedoor for Windows 2000 and Windows XP. It was released 8/8/2003. Despite the name, a "censored" version doesn't exist. The first press edition was bundled with a celluloid Kedamono mask.

The CD-ROM includes wallpapers, screensavers, and many self-described "useless" features.

MENU
The "main" application of the CD-ROM will open a menu featuring Popee, Kedamono, Frog, and Papi standing in front of the audience. It has a chance of displaying secret menu designs of Papi, Frog, and static.

A large character head will spawn corresponding to which character you choose and act as the "menu" from there, with parts of their faces being clickable and changing depending on where your mouse is.

WALLPAPERS
It has 12 wallpapers each for Popee, Kedamono, and Papi, as well as 10 miscellaneous ones. I have all the wallpapers available on this page for easy access!

SCREENSAVERS
There's a much smaller amount of screensavers, with 5 for Kedamono, 4 for Popee, 3 for miscellanea, and only 1 for Papi.

USELESS FEATURES
The useless features include:

• big character heads that avoid your cursor
• small characters that follow your cursor
• a short animation of Popee killing a dolphin
• a giant and unusable Paola cursor
• a calculator that displays Kedamono masks instead of numbers
