'''{{wp|Thomas Edison|Thomas Alva Edison}}''' | '''{{wp|Thomas Edison|Thomas Alva Edison}}''' was an [[United States of America|American]] inventor who held over 1,000 patents, notably one for the {{wp|incandescent light bulb}} that became the foundation for modern light bulbs. Known as the "Wizard of [[Menlo Park]]" after inventing the seemingly-magical {{wp|phonograph}}, he experimented endlessly in his laboratory. His work on the incandescent light bulb involved testing numerous [[Filament]]s before settling on one made of carbonized bamboo; however, in ''[[Mario's Time Machine]]'', [[Bowser]] steals the filament before Edison can use it for testing by traveling back in time. [[Mario]] then travels back in time himself to return the filament, and meets Edison in the process. | ||

According to ''Mario's Time Machine'', Thomas Edison was toiling away in his laboratory in Menlo Park, waiting for his bamboo filament to arrive. Mario later arrives in the area, looking for the recipient of the filament in his possession. As he does not know who Thomas Edison is, nor that he is looking for the filament, he must first talk to the other inhabitants of Menlo Park. If Mario attempts to approach Edison sooner, Edison largely ignores him, as he is too focused on his newest invention. Once Mario finally learns of Edison, he quickly gives it to him, and Edison's inventions soon come to life. Mario asks him where his inspiration comes from, and Edison delightedly responds that he knows that he is on the right track whenever he sees a lightbulb light up in his head. | According to ''Mario's Time Machine'', Thomas Edison was toiling away in his laboratory in Menlo Park, waiting for his bamboo filament to arrive.
