History
Mario's Time Machine
According toMario's Time Machine, David Grenewetzki was working at The Software Toolworks in a corner officeBowser steals theFloppy Disk holding the final version ofMario's Time Machine and Mario travels to the headquarters to return it. However, as Mario does not know that the disk needs to be brought to Grenewetzki, he questions several other employees about it, includingAndrew Iverson,Don Lloyd,Jeff Griffeath, and an unnamedquality assurance person. Both Iverson and Lloyd tell Mario to bring the Floppy Disk to Grenewetzki, and the QA elaborates on Grenewetzki's role, saying that "He’s the main man. The big cheese. The top banana. Numero Uno. El Cid. #1 on the runway... He’s got a corner office and the power to use it!" If Mario talks to Grenewetzki without confirming the disk's owner, Mario asks him where he is, and Grenewetzki confusedly tells him that he is in Novato,California, before telling him that he has lost the final version of the company's edutainment product and that he needs to look for it. Eventually, Mario absolutely confirms who the Floppy Disk needs to be brought to, and finally asks Grenewetzki if he is looking for the disk in Mario's possession. Grenewetzki excitedly and quickly recognizes it, and he tells Mario that they are now able to ship the game to "stores everywhere". He asks for Mario's name, but when Mario replies that his name is "Mario Mario", he does not believe him. He sarcastically replies that he isWilliam Shakespeare, and tells Mario that he needs to go to a business meeting while sarcastically asking him to say hello toLuigi, all the while laughing. Mario then leaves him be to confront Bowser once and for all.
