==Gameplay==
In the ''Mario Discovery'' series, each game is focused on a specific topic to educate the player on.
 
===''Mario is Missing!''===
In ''Mario is Missing!'', [[Luigi]] must return artifacts stolen by [[Bowser]] to their correct locations. To properly return the items, the player must correctly answer questions relating to the area. The answers are given by residents.
 
===''Mario's Time Machine''===
''Mario's Time Machine'' follows a very similar structure and system to that of ''Mario is Missing!'', though it stars [[Mario]] as the protagonist rather than Luigi. In the game, Mario must travel through time in order to return items stolen by Bowser to their original time periods.
 
===''Mario's Early Years!'' games===
In the ''Mario's Early Years!'' games, there are several worlds that cover a different aspect of each topic. Voice lines are present to give instructions and feedback to the player.
