'''{{wp|Ferdinand Magellan}}''' was a Portuguese explorer | '''{{wp|Ferdinand Magellan}}''' was a Portuguese explorer who organized the first circumnavigation of the world, starting and ending in {{wp|Spain}}. A fleet of five ships, including the [[Trinidad]], set out to the West in 1519 to find a trade route that could reach the {{wp|Maluku Islands}} (also known as the Spice Islands) without entering Portuguese waters. The voyage was plagued with problems, including malnutrition, mutinies, and {{wp|scurvy}}, which culminated in the death of Magellan by {{wp|Lapu-Lapu}} during a battle in the {{wp|Philippines}}. The expedition was then continued by his first mate, [[Juan Sebastian Del Cano]], who brought the Trinidad and a handful of crewmembers back to Spain. In ''[[Mario's Time Machine]]'', he meets a time traveling [[Mario]], who travels to the Trinidad to return the [[Astrolabe]] that was stolen from Ferdinand by a time traveling [[Bowser]]. | ||

In the SNES and PC versions of ''Mario's Time Machine'', Ferdinand Magellan was captaining the Trinidad when, at some point, Bowser travels back in time to steal his Astrolabe. Mario later takes the Astrolabe back and travels back in time to 1521 so that he can return it. However, as he does not know that the Astrolabe belongs to Ferdinand, Mario questions the Trinidad's other crewmembers before he finally confirms the identity of the Astrolabe's owner. Attempting to talk to Ferdinand beforehand only has him worry about his missing Astrolabe (at this point, it cannot be returned). Once it is returned, Ferdinand greatly thanks Mario, and gets to continuing his route to the Spice Islands. Mario then says that he was able to set Magellan straight, which gives Ferdinand the idea to name the passage of water that he just crossed the {{wp|Strait of Magellan}} (even though, by all accounts, he named the strait the "Estreito de Todos los Santos" after crossing through it). | In the SNES and PC versions of ''Mario's Time Machine'', Ferdinand Magellan was captaining the Trinidad when, at some point, Bowser travels back in time to steal his Astrolabe.
