'''{{wp|Novato, California}}''' is a city in the [[United States of America]]. It was home to the real headquarters of {{wp|Mindscape|The Software Toolworks}} (the company that developed the ''[[Mario | '''{{wp|Novato, California}}''' is a city in the [[United States of America]]. It was home to the real-life headquarters of {{wp|Mindscape|The Software Toolworks}} (the company that developed ''[[Mario is Missing!]]'', ''[[Mario's Time Machine]]'', and the ''[[Mario's Early Years! (series)|Mario's Early Years!]]'' series) before it became entirely defunct in 2011. In ''[[Mario's Time Machine]]'', within the context of the fictional game, [[Bowser]] uses his [[Timulator]] to steal a [[Floppy Disk]] from Novato in 1994. This Floppy Disk is actually the proto-copy of ''Mario's Time Machine'', and Bowser's plan is to prevent the game and its events from ever existing, therefore allowing him to travel back in time and ruin history without being bothered by [[Mario]].<ref>{{ref quote|Oh, no! Then he’s trying to prevent you [Mario] from ever even FINDING the timulator! If he succeeds, it will spell doom for all those famous historical figures!!|[[Andrew Iverson]]|[[Mario's Time Machine]]}}</ref> To prevent this, Mario travels to Novato himself to return the Floppy Disk (however, Novato can only be visited after returning every other item stolen, making it the final location in the game). In Novato, Mario talks to some of the game developer's, including [[David Grenewtetzki]] (the company's CTO<ref>[https://www.linkedin.com/in/dgreno/ David Grenewetzki's LinkedIn profile].

He eventually delivers the Floppy Disk to Grenewetzki and leaves Novato to confront Bowser. | ||
