ThePrint Block, also known as theWood Block, is an item in thePC andSNES releases ofMario's Time Machine. It is a seal used inwoodblock printing, a form of stamping and sealing that has its origins in Asia. This particular block belongs toMarco Polo, and has a glyph on it that translates to "Polo". It was given to him while he was serving underKublai Khan inCambuluc. However, as he leaves the area to return to Italy, his Print Block is stolen byBowser after he travels back in time and steals it from him.Mario then steals it back fromBowser's Museum and travels back in time to theGobi Desert in an attempt to return it. Without knowing who it belongs to, he shows the Print Block to various residents of Cambuluc, including Kublai Khan, until they eventually confirm that it belongs to Marco. Mario then goes to the Gobi Desert to return it, and tells Marco that he has forgotten his Print Block. Marco thanks Mario for returning his Print Block, remarking that he had forgotten it, and he is now ready to make the trip home.
