| '''Count Down''' is a large being that resembles a stopwatch fused with an hourglass, and a high-ranking member of the [[Smithy Gang]].
| |
|
| |
|
| [[Mario]] and his allies [[Mallow]], [[Geno]], [[Bowser]], and [[Princess Peach|Peach]] first encounter Count Down while navigating their way through the [[Weapon World]] during ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]''. Count Down is one of Smithy's commanders and attacks the Mario gang with its allies, the [[Ring-a-Ding]]s. | | '''Count Down''' is a large clock-like being and a member of the [[Smithy Gang]]. |
| | |
| | [[Mario]] and his allies [[Mallow]], [[Geno]], [[Bowser]], and [[Princess Peach|Toadstool]] first encounter Count Down while navigating their way through [[Smithy]]'s [[Factory (Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars)|Factory]] during ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]''. Count Down is one of Smithy's commanders and attacks the Mario gang with his allies, the [[Ding-A-Ling]]s. |

|
| If Count Down is defeated first before any of the Ring-A-Dings, its hands will spin for the rest of the battle, which results in no [[coin]]s being awarded after the battle.
| |
| ==Attack pattern== | | ==Attack pattern== |
| During battle, Count Down attacks in a continuous cycle, with the attack depending on what numbers the hands on its clock face are on. The order is shown below; however, when a Ring-a-Ding chants "Time is marching on!" Count Down skips to the next hour. | | During battle it seems Count Down is nothing more than a puppet used by the Ding-A-Lings as Count Down attacks in a continuous cycle, with the attack depending on what numbers the hands on his clock face are on. |
| | |
| Before the actual attack, Count Down will make an announcement:
| |
| *[[Ice Rock]], [[Crystal (move)|Crystal]] — It's 1:00. "Time to play." (SNES) / "Time for an ice storm." (NS)
| |
| *[[Recover]] — It's 3:00. "Time to RECOVER!" (SNES) / "Time to recover!" (NS)
| |
| *[[Aurora Flash]] — It's 5:00. "Time for a break, huh?" (SNES) "Time to view the aurora." (NS)
| |
| *[[Mega Recover]] — It's 6:00. "Time to FULLY RECOVER." (SNES) "Time to fully recover." (NS)
| |
| *[[Water Blast]] — It's 7:00. "DINNER TIME." (SNES) / "Time to draw a bath." (NS)
| |
| *Takes a Break — It's 9:00. "Guess I'll break."
| |
| *[[Petal Blast]] — It's 10:00. "Time to garden."
| |
| *[[Flare]] — It's 12:00. "It's high noon."
