Mario's Time Machine Game

Ever wished you could hop into a time machine with Mario? Mario’s Time Machine for the SNES lets you do just that—sort of! This quirky edutainment title trades power-ups for history lessons, sending the mustachioed hero on a time-hopping quest to return stolen artifacts to their rightful eras. Picture this: you’re dodging dinosaurs in the Cretaceous period, rubbing shoulders with Shakespeare, or even witnessing the construction of the Great Pyramid—all while solving puzzles and brushing up on historical facts.

It’s not your typical Mario adventure (no Bowser kidnappings here!), but that’s part of its charm. The game blends Nintendo’s signature platforming with a dash of trivia, making it a nostalgic oddity for ‘90s kids who grew up learning while gaming. Sure, it’s no Super Mario World, but if you’ve ever dreamed of seeing Mario debate with Leonardo da Vinci, this might just be your weirdly wonderful SNES deep cut. Time travel has never been so… plumber-friendly!
