| “ | Time works a little differently in each dimension of reality that exists; in the Monster World, it can be manipulated to change the tempo of an island's song! Curiously, it doesn't change how long it takes to breed, or bake Treats, or anything like that - that power rests solely with the magical Diamonds. | ” |
The Time Machine is a Structure that can be used to modify the speed of an island's song. It does not, however, speed up real-time, in that it does not affect the speed of any process that takes real time to complete.
Description[]
The Time Machine allows the player to change both the pitch and speed of the monsters' singing and movements. It can be modified to make the song as slow as half the speed of the original song and one whole octave lower, all the way to as fast as double the speed of the original song and one whole octave higher.

Notes[]
- With Version 1.1.7, the speed of your Island's song can be saved when friends visit.
- If the player warps positively, then the song speeds up, the monsters' voices become higher pitched, and their animations will be faster.
- If the player warps negatively, then the song slows down, the monsters' voices become lower pitched, and their animations will be slower.
- The Time Machine's bio was different when the game first launched. It simply read: "This machine can warp time. Try moving the slider back and forth to see what happens!"
- The Time Machine will also speed up/slow down the squashing animation used to select things on the island.
- The little hand on the clock doesn't move, while the big hand on the clock does.
- Tracks recorded in the Recording Studio also follow the speed of the Time Machine.
- The Time Machine cannot be bought on Magical Nexus, Tribal Island, Composer Island, Gold Island, or The Colossingum.
- In Version 3.8.0, its cost was reduced from 50,000
to 7,500 , and 50 to 7 . - The old font of MSM (Wallow HMK Bold) is still seen on the Time Machine and has not been changed to Open Dyslexic Bold.
