Who here remembers Cedy's World (the Mercedes-Benz kids-focused website which secretly was advertising to entice generations to become hooked onto the giant from Stuttgart)?

Wait….what? This was actually a thing?

I remember this so well…
For those of you who want details, I’ll tell you.
There was a game where you could join clubs and stuff
There was a game called Pangaea Adventure, with 2 chapters, where you go on a train trip to a port and get on a ship to explore the world.
The next was Museum Adventure, where you travel to a car museum and meet another kid, whose uncle owns a time machine. The kid goes inside and as it powers on you step in to stop it, but by then it’s too late, and you are sent to the day the car was invented, and you travel Germany following Karl Benz’s wife as she tests the cars with her sons. (5 chapters)
The next was Treasure Island. It’s a board game type of thing. It is an isometric view of an island that is I think 10x10, and including the ocean, 12x12. There are two modes, 1-Player (you are Team Red and the computer is Team Green), and 2-Player (one person is Team Red and the other is Team Blue).
The goal is to find the more treasure than the other team. You get to move three pieces, the boat, a G-Class Mercedes, and an M-Class Mercedes. The G-Class has 4 inventory spaces and the M-Class has 3. The spaces are categorized by what’s t they feature. These are the types:
Unexplored: all spaces start this way.

<I don’t remember what the nothing spaces are called, maybe Grassland?>: empty space, nothing extra.
Bog: Your car gets stuck in the mud. The other car has to pull it out using an item called Rope. However, if that is not possible either because the other car is not able to reach the other in time to help or because not any Rope can be fetched soon enough, the. The stuck car can wait three turns to get out. If both cars get in the bog, you will have to wait three turns each one.
Log: A large tree has fallen and the trunk is blocking the way. You will have to go around it or pull it out of the way with Rope. The boat can also move logs of they are at the shore.
Monkey Horde: A horde of monkeys crowd around and on top of your car. You will have to wait two turns to shoo them, or you could give them bananas and continue with your roll.
Spikes: Lots of sharp rocks puncture your tires, and you will have to wait two turns to fix them.
Swamp: Your car gets stuck in the swamp, and the other car must pull it out with Rope. However, you cannot wait your way out of this. There are two swamps on the island, and if one team gets both cars stuck, they forfeit and the opponent wins.
Stones: They slow you down or something, maybe forfeit roll? I forgot
Typhoon: They move you to a random adjacent space.
The items are:
Rope
Bananas
Treasure
Planks

Adventure in India (3 chapters): You travel to India to learn about Mercedes-Benz biofuel. You adventure around the different places. You learn about the special containers they grow plants in, and how the seeds are changed into fuel (separating rocks from seeds, liquefying the seeds, then putting it in a machine that changes the pressure and temperature, adds some other additives, separates the chemicals, washes it, and runs a process called “Final Cleaning”, then dispensing it into canisters).
Adventure in Brazil: Learn about how resources in the jungle are used to make car parts, like coconut husks, rubber, etc., and learn about the environment of a jungle, like weather, animals, plants, etc.
Adventure in South Africa: Learn about the jungle in South Africa. I don’t remember much else.
There was a test driver game with multiple mini-games. There were 6. One was about navigation (you have to enter commands into a panel to navigate a car to destinations around a city), one about ABS, one about ESP, one about SBC, one about a test course (you start at some parking place on a track. It’s like an obstacle course, because there are obstacles and such, and on the way through the course there are three stations. The first two are trivia, and the last is randomly chosen between a labyrinth (test fine motor skills) or a matching cards game (test memory), and the course has a cave tunnel thing, and more)).
There was Cedy’s house thing, where you can learn about cars, or you could play sports (Baseball was one, but I don’t remember others), or you could do studies on lots of other things (indoors was learning about Mars, cars, fuel (biodiesel, sundiesel, hydrogen fuel), etc.) (outdoors was the environment, like recycling, rubbish, black ice, pinwheels, thermometers, solar panels, etc.)
There was soapbox racing.

You could learn about cars and things:
You would be guided through the different steps of creating a car. I don’t remember it fully:
First was the frame. It was a sedan-type. It’s on an assembly line of sorts. First, it is dipped in water to clean it. Then it is dipped into a grayish liquid with some sort of electrical properties that coats every corner, then it is dipped into water again. Then, it is taken to a place filled with robotic arms that seal things. Then comes painting it, and finally applying a shine to it.
Another part was the interior. You got to choose between different colors of seats, seat belts, steering wheels, interiors, etc.
Another game involved packing for a family trip of some sorts. Either a two-row van with extra space int the back for your stuff, or three-rows with limited space. You had to pack everything you needed.
There was a game where the McLaren was in the garage by the racetrack, but it was blocked by a wall of tires. They have red. blue, green, and yellow. You can only get rid of a tire if it is next to another tire of the same color. Get rid of large groups of the same color to go faster. There is a timer at the top, but I can’t remember how much time you get. It was a few minutes. The most tires you can have left over that weren’t able to be cleared is 8.
If I remember more details, I’ll edit this post, how’s that?

For some reason my comments are in reverse order. Read from bottom up, please.

On the other hand, mobile devices need you to read it from top down because it’s displayed in a different order?

I remember Cedy’s world also. Thank you for all the things you ‘re ember and posted about. Today I was thinking about the wonderful site it was, and did a Google search and discovered your memories of it, which are the same memories I have. What a great learning world it was for me about a world of learning huge amounts of information about cars. Most women and girls were not taught that kind of information Years ago, so I loved learning everything taught at Cedy’s World, especially about building cars. I wish that site still existed. Do you, or anyone else know what happened to that site. I loved sharing it with my gra skids. Linda, artist
