About this game

Bowser and his minions have traveled through time and have stolen historical artifacts to add to Bowser's museum.

While Yoshi was checking out this museum, he was captured by Bowser.

Now it's up to Mario to rescue Yoshi and return the stolen objects back to their rightful place.

The game consists of Mario defeating enemies in a Mario Bros style game.

Once all the enemies are defeated, they drop a stolen item which Mario needs to pick up.

Mario then enters into a Timulator (a time traveling machine) and warps to the player's selected time period.

The selected time period is basically a small side-scrolling area where Mario has to find the correct location to drop the current item he is holding.

If Mario drops the item in the wrong location or the wrong time period, it will be taken away and Mario will have to restart the item collection process all over again.

This side-scrolling section also holds the educational aspect of the game as Mario can jump into message blocks and learn factoids about the time and location he is currently in.

The game will have Mario returning fourteen items (one for each time period) before he will be made to take a history exam about the knowledge he has gained from all this item gathering.

Once that's finished Mario will finally be able to confront Bowser and rescue Yoshi.

About Nintendo Entertainment System

The Nintendo Entertainment System (1983 in Japan, 1985 in the West) revived the North American video game industry after the 1983 crash and established conventions — cartridges, licensing seals, save systems — that shaped the industry for decades. NES collecting is one of the most established retro markets: common titles remain cheap, but a well-known handful of low-print-run games (many from smaller third-party publishers) are among the most expensive video games in existence.

Gamevaro tracks Mario's Time Machine for Nintendo Entertainment System with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.

Adding Mario's Time Machine to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This NES release dates back to 1994.

Rarity & condition

Mario's Time Machine has a steady sales history on the tracked marketplaces, meaning enough copies circulate to establish a reliable market price.

Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
