TheRepublic (GreekΠολιτεία,Politeia; Latin:De Republica) is an item in thePC andSNES releases ofMario's Time Machine. It contains the writings of the ancient Greek philosopherPlato, describing various dialogues betweenSocrates and other figures, at one point contending that the only government that can properly function is ameritocracy run byPhilosopher kings. InMario's Time Machine, a copy of the book that Plato used to teach his students was stolen byBowser, who traveled back in time to take it so that it could be added to hismuseum.Mario later takes the book back and travels back in time himself to ancientAthens, although since he does not know that the book belongs to Plato, he questions the locals about his surroundings and the item in his possession.Aristotle eventually confirms that the item is theRepublic, and Mario then gives it back to Plato. Plato thanks Mario for his help, saying that he can continue teaching his pupils as Socrates once taught him.
