The time machine was a gadget that was first used in the episode Time Machine and made its first voyage three seconds into the future with Fafa. It has many parts to it, such as tubes, a camera, a pressure reader, an antenna, and a TV remote. When it time travels, the antenna flashes red and lightning strikes the machine, leaving only a wisp of smoke. After its initial voyage, Fafa would use to the time machine to meet up with other versions of himself from different time periods (most noticeably ones from the 90's to the stone age). Mario eventually convinced the Fafa clones to return to their own time periods and used different version of himself to destroy the time machine.
The machine was then repaired by Mario in the episode The Glove and Boots HP 3PAR StoreServ Commercial. It was used by Mario to prevent the HP company from existing, but in doing so, created an alternate timeline where EMC ruled the area. Fafa (from the alternate timeline) sold the time machine in order to buy nachos. It is unclear what happened after that, but it is assumed that Mario reclaimed the contraption and fixed the timeline.
The last appearance of the time machine was in Glove and Boots Responds #4, in which it was used to prevent Mario from using the teleporter.
Trivia[]
- Fafa has used the time machine more than any other character.
- The machine seems to be a parody of the DeLorean time machine, as it's made of different junk yard parts.
- Many people ask why Fafa wasn't Fafa T when he used the time machine to stop the teleportation. Though confusing, this can be solved through a simple timeline correction.
- When using the machine, Mario dressed up like the terminator.
- The contraption may be used more often than it's seen, as Mario and Fafa periodically collide with their ancestors and past selves.
- Though not in the episode 10 Reasons Why Time Travel is No Good, Mario uses a time bracelet to transport through time. The bracelet may use the same energy as its more bulky relative and was possibly a replacement until the actual time machine was repaired the next year.
- It is revealed that Mario hates ABBA. Though it is later revealed in a separate video that he does not like palindromes.
- Two ABBA songs were performed by Fafa and his clones: Take a Chance on me and Dancing Queen.
