Novato, California is a city in the United States of America. It was home to the real headquarters of The Software Toolworks (the company that developed the Mario Discovery Series ) before it became entirely defunct in 2011. In the PC version of Mario's Time Machine , Bowser uses his timulator to steal a Floppy Disk from Novato in 1993 (1994 in the Deluxe re-release). 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.[1] 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's developers, including David Grenewetzki (the company's CTO,[2] though he is referred to in-game as being at the top[3] ), Andrew Iverson (the game's writer), Don Lloyd (one of the programmers), and Jeff Griffeath (the lead artist), and he also helps them finish development of the game itself. He eventually delivers the Floppy Disk to Grenewetzki and leaves Novato to confront Bowser.
