| '''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]]. |
|
| |
|
| 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.
| | [[Mario]] and his allies [[Mallow]], [[Bowser]], [[Geno]] and the [[Princess Toadstool|Princess]] first encountered Count Down while navigating their way through [[Smithy]]'s [[Factory]] during ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]''. Count Down was one of Smithy's commanders and attacked the Mario gang with his allies the [[Ding-A-Ling]]s. During battle it seemed Count Down was nothing more than a puppet used by the Ding-A-Lings as Count Down attacked in a continous pattern of attacks, the attack depending on what numbers the hands on his clock face were on. |
| ==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. | |
|
| |
|
| Before the actual attack, Count Down will make an announcement:
| | '''Known Attacks:'''<br> |
