Clock Watchers is a 4-Player Mic minigame in Mario Party 7.
Overview[edit]
The minigame opens with Goombas cheering in the audience as the players show up.
A time for each player is presented on a large clock by the announcer. Some time after the minigame starts, players must say "Stop" into the Mic as close to their target times as possible. Players have only three seconds to see the timer onscreen. If a player has not stopped their timer by 20 seconds, the game registers it as their time. Players who stop the clock closest to their given times win. If everyone has the same time, the minigame ends in a tie. If any player manages to get their exact time down to the second, they perform their victory pose as confetti comes down from the ceiling and the audience cheers.
Controls[edit]
– Say: "Stop"
In-game text[edit]
- Rules – "Stop the timer as close to the target time as you can."
- Advice – "Once the timer disappears, keep counting in your head."
Naming[edit]
"Clock Watchers" is a play on both meanings of "watch": as a verb meaning "to observe", and as a type of clock.
