In this Let's Play, I just show off my smarts and go through all the homework assignments without even talking to people. So I decided to go ahead and make a tutorial as to how to play the game, and I even learned a few things in the process. The next video will just be all the answers, so read this if you want to learn how to play the game.
You start out in Bowser's Castle, taking one of the five items off the podiums with the X Button and using your time machine to send them back to where they came from. With the R button, you can access a book that tells you all about the history of the item you currently have - and where and when you have to take it back to - but you'll have to fill in some of the blanks before you can actually return it.
Be sure to use the shoulder buttons to switch between the two pages while doing the homework.
You definitely want to do the homework at the castle. If you get three wrong answers in a row, you'll be automatically sent back to the castle.
When you're ready to go back in time at the castle, press L to pull out the time machine. Choose your destination with the Control Pad, set the year and choose between AD and BC, then have at it. Left and Right let you switch between things to toggle, while Up and Down changes numeric and BC/AD values.
Use the X button to go faster when you're time surfing. Use Left and Right Pick up the mushrooms, and avoid the orange sea urchins. If you hold L along with Left, you can make sharp left turns, and if you hold R along with Right, you can make sharp right turns. When you've picked up ten mushrooms, dive into one of the whirlpools. If you got the right destination, you'll be there. If not, it's back to the castle.
Once you've returned the item, press L to trigger the timer that lets Mario go back to Bowser's castle. Press A and Mario will press the button. If you press L again, you'll go back to exploring.
Now for that homework. To complete it, you'll have to talk to the time people in that time period and read the information they give you. Enter buildings and other areas with the X button. and hopefully you'll find somebody. You'll be able to get all the information you need by talking to them with the Control Pad and the A button. Just make sure you read things carefully, because if you miss something, you won't be able to read it again. As you do this, you'll also get other items that you can trade to people in exchange for more information. If you hear the sound of a Koopa shell, you've gotten an item. You'll need to give it to someone else. You'll need to give the right items to the right people in order to get more information for the homework from them.
Be careful as you talk to people, for every time you ask a question, you'll lose five bonus points off your remaining time in the upper-right corner.
If you get wrong answers, you'll get frowning faces above the name of the current location for your item. If you get three, you'll be booted back to the castle. If you're at the castle while doing the homework, this is not an issue, but if you're in the historical time and place that your current time is from, it really stinks, and you'll have to go time surfing to get back. Again, you're better off doing the homework in the castle.
You're definitely going to need all of this information, so I'll mention all the answers you need. All the words in the blanks are in bold.
Apple - Cambridge, 1687
Born on Christmas Day, 1642, Isaac Newton went on to become of the world's greatest scientists. Newton was uninterested in school until he attended Cambridge University, but his studies there were interrupted by London's Great Black Plague of 1665. In two short years back at his family farm in Woolsthorpe, Newton invented calculus, made major discoveries in optics, and formulated his famous theory of gravitation after observing a falling apple.
Newton's "Three Laws of Motion" revolutionized both physics and astronomy. He also discovered the spectrum of white light and invented the first refracting telescope. Although London's Royal Academy of Science made him a full fledged member at the young age of 30, Newton actually waited many years before publishing his discoveries in two landmark books, "The Principia" and "Optiks." In the 20th century, Einstein's theories have prevailed in atomic sizes and extreme speeds, but Newtonian physics is still used to safely navigate rockets to the moon, Mars and beyond.
