'''{{wp|Thomas Edison|Thomas Alva Edison}}''' was an [[United States of America|American]] inventor who held over 1,000 patents, notably one for the {{wp|incandescent light bulb}} that became the foundation for modern light bulbs. Known as the "Wizard of [[Menlo Park]]" after inventing the seemingly-magical {{wp|phonograph}}, he experimented endlessly in his laboratory. His work on the incandescent light bulb involved testing numerous [[Filament]]s before settling on one made of carbonized bamboo; however, in ''[[Mario's Time Machine]]'', [[Bowser]] steals the filament before Edison can use it for testing by traveling back in time. [[Mario]] then travels back in time himself to return the filament, and meets Edison in the process. | '''{{wp|Thomas Edison|Thomas Alva Edison}}''' (February 11, 1847 – October 18, 1931) was an [[United States of America|American]] inventor and businessman who held over 1,000 patents, notably one for the {{wp|incandescent light bulb}} that became the foundation for modern light bulbs.
