- Information
- Boy: "There's a bare square on the wall of the Louvre without that painting."
- Tourist: "It's the most famous painting in the world. I hope you don't get framed for taking it."
- Business Woman: "A better question is why is Mona Lisa smiling? Take her to the Louvre."
- Scientist: "Did you want to know that L. da Vinci painted that, or that it belonged in the Louvre?"
- Police Officer: "We can stop canvassing France for the Mona Lisa. Don't get hung up returning it."
Mario's Time Machine[edit]
In the SNES and DOS versions of Mario's Time Machine, the Mona Lisa appears alongside Leonardo da Vinci. When Leonardo is first met, he refuses to talk, as he has lost his Notebook (which was stolen by a time-travelling Bowser) and he is unable to complete the painting without it. After Mario returns Leonardo's Notebook to him, he exclaims his thanks, saying that he is now able to finish painting the Mona Lisa. Mario then asks why the Mona Lisa is not smiling, to which Leonardo responds that she actually has a subtle smile, one that makes future generations wonder what she is smiling about.
