In ''[[ | In ''[[Mario's Time Machine]]'', Mario travels back in time to ancient Athens circa 369 BC after [[Bowser]] travels back to Athens himself to steal a copy of the ''[[Republic]]'' from [[Plato]]. At the time, Plato was actively teaching at the [[Academy]] that he founded, and his student, [[Aristotle]], was also branching out into his own form of philosophy. As Mario did not know that the book in his possession belonged to Plato, he talked to the other inhabitants of Athens, including Aristotle, a {{wp|Council of Five Hundred|councilman}}, a writer, and an enslaved woman, about the area. Most of them end up talking about Plato and his philosophy, though. Eventually, Mario can go to the Academy and return the ''Republic'' to Plato before leaving Athens. | ||
