The '''Metal Type''', also known as simply the '''Type''', is an item in the [[Mario's Time Machine (PC)|PC]] and [[Mario's Time Machine (Super Nintendo Entertainment System)|SNES releases of ''Mario's Time Machine'']]. It has a backwards letter "G" on it, and it is one of the original [[wikipedia:Sort (typesetting)|sorts]] used by [[Johann Gutenberg]] when creating his printing press. At some point in 1455, it is stolen by a time-traveling [[Bowser]], as he wants to display it in [[Bowser's Museum|his museum]] with other time-displaced items. Later, [[Mario]] enters the museum, takes the Metal Type himself, and travels back in time to [[Mainz]] circa 1455 to return it to its rightful owner, albeit without knowing the identity of its rightful owner. Mario thus shows the Metal Type to various people within Mainz, with one metalworker explaining that Gutenberg tried using wood first before switching to metal. Eventually, Mario confirms that the Metal Type belongs to Gutenberg and returns it to him, who immediately puts it to use in his printing press.
