TheLaurel Wreath is an item in thePC andSNES releases ofMario's Time Machine. Inancient Greece, laurels were commonly given to those who had achieved athletic or artistic achievements. AfterMario travels back in time to ancientAthens to returnPlato'sRepublic, which was stolen byBowser, he receives a laurel wreath from an enslaved woman. Mario comments on how it is unjust that she is kept as a slave, and the woman recognizes that he is wise, giving him the wreath as proof of his wisdom. Mario can then give the wreath to a nearby comedic writer who refuses to talk unless he receives recognition from theAcademy for his writings. Once he receives the wreath, he believes that Mario likes him very much, and gives him aMeasuring Stick in exchange.
