Bread

The Bread, also called the Loaf of Bread, is an item in the SNES and PC releases of Mario's Time Machine. Mario obtains it after giving a Beret to an apprentice sculptor in Florence circa 1503, who was previously complaining about being cold. Once the sculptor receives the Beret, he thanks Mario by giving him the Bread, which he says was made by his mother. The Bread can then be given to a nearby painter, who asks Mario to bring him food in exchange for some paint. He gladly accepts the Italian bread and gives Mario the Paint in return.
