In ''[[Mario's Time Machine]]'', [[Mario]] travels back in time to London circa 1595 to return the stolen [[Crown]] of the then-reigning monarch, [[Queen Elizabeth I]]. However, Mario only enters the queen's palace, and does not explore any of London. While there, he also talks to one of the queen's servants, one of the queen's handmaidens, and [[Francis Drake]]. Mario later travels back in time to 1831 to return a [[Magnet (Mario's Time Machine)|Magnet]] to [[Michael Faraday]], talking to [[Sarah Barnard]], [[Charles-Gaspard de la Rive]], and a boy who claims to be an heir to the throne of England while there. Later still, Mario travels back in time to 1843, visiting one of London's streets to return [[Charles Dickens]]' [[Inkwell]]. There, he talks to a grumpy banker, a poor orphan, and Charles's wife, [[Catherine Dickens]]. In all three time periods, he leaves the city after returning the important item to its respective owner. | In ''[[Mario's Time Machine]]'', [[Mario]] travels back in time to London circa 1595 to return the stolen [[Crown]] of the then-reigning monarch, [[Queen Elizabeth I]].
