Time Machine Robo
First appearance	Super Mario Land 4 (1990)
Effect	Opens time portals

The Time Machine Robo is an invention of Dr. Areku that he operates in the Solar Striker storyline in the Super Mario Land 4 manga. It looks like a toy tank, with the cannon being able to project time portals. On the machine, the letters "T" and "M" are painted on, and there is also a screen that let the operator see the time and place where the portal is going to open.

Areku tests the machine near the Mario Bros.' House and from the portal he accidentally opens, Marīo and Pichi-hime, descendants of Mario and Princess Peach, fall out from the year 2159. From the portal, the leg of Torino Daiō also pops and grabs Mario and Peach, mistaking them for their descendants, and drags them through the portal, which closes behind them. Areku has now to figure out how to make another portal appears to save them and send their descendants to their era. After some trial, he decides to make an attempt from the Moon and it works. Pichi crosses the portal, but Marīo (having gained weight due to his gluttony for the XX century snacks) gets stuck in it, and when the portal closes, his body is split in half, with his upper body hopping around in the future and his legs running around in the present. Later, after Torino Daiō's defeat, Areku uses the portal to reunite Marīo with his legs and celebrate the victory with a picnic with the heroes and his descendants, while ensure the portal does not close by using a stick to block it.

Crossing the portal also causes some effects on the inorganic elements that cross it: Peach's homemade chocolate she was holding while being dragged in, for example, evolved into a sentient being called Viokun.
