This capital later becomes the city ofBeijing.Marco Polo traveled there with his family,Niccolò and Maffeo Polo, and then stayed there as servants under the Khan. In 1292,Mario also visits the area after traveling back in time to return aPrint Block that was stolen from Marco Polo by a time-travelingBowser (according to the events ofMario's Time Machine). As he does not know that the Block belongs to Marco, Mario asks the area's inhabitants, which includes Kublai Khan, a trader, and a wise old sage. After enough talking, they point him in the direction of theGobi Desert, where Marco and his family have gone to return to Italy, and Mario leaves the area to run after them.
