Gameplay[edit]
In the Mario Discovery series, each game is focused on a specific topic to educate the player on.

Mario's Time Machine follows a very similar structure and system to that of Mario is Missing!, though it stars Mario as the protagonist rather than Luigi. In the game, Mario must travel through time in order to return items stolen by Bowser to their original time periods.
