In the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System]] release of ''[[Mario's Time Machine]]'', Leonardo's [[Notebook]] is stolen by Bowser after the latter goes back in time using his [[Timulator]], wanting to create a museum using stolen artifacts. Mario later takes the Timulator and the Notebook and travels back in time to Florence in order to return the Notebook (without actually knowing that the Notebook belongs to Leonardo). When first visiting Leonardo, Mario's only option is to say that he is lost, though Leonardo angrily tells him to leave as he has lost his Notebook. Leonardo can be given his Notebook only once Mario questions the locals, including [[Michelangelo Buonarroti]], about the area and absolutely confirms that the Notebook belongs to Leonardo. Once Mario knows Leonardo's identity and gives him his Notebook, Leonardo thanks him, saying that he can finally complete the ''Mona Lisa'', and also asks Mario to call him "Leo." Mario then asks about the lack of smile on the ''Mona Lisa''; Leonardo explains that she actually has a subtle smile, one that he hopes causes people to wonder what she is smiling about for generations to come. | In the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System]] release of ''[[Mario's Time Machine]]'', Leonardo's [[Notebook]] is stolen by Bowser after the latter goes back in time using his [[Timulator]], wanting to create a museum using stolen artifacts.
