'''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.
==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.


[[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.
Before the actual attack, Count Down will make an announcement:
*[[Ice Rock]], [[Crystal (move)|Crystal]] &mdash; It's 1:00. "Time to play." (SNES) / "Time for an ice storm." (NS)
*[[Recover]] &mdash; It's 3:00. "Time to RECOVER!" (SNES) / "Time to recover!" (NS)
*[[Aurora Flash]] &mdash; It's 5:00. "Time for a break, huh?" (SNES) "Time to view the aurora." (NS)
*[[Mega Recover]] &mdash; It's 6:00. "Time to FULLY RECOVER." (SNES) "Time to fully recover." (NS)
*[[Water Blast]] &mdash; It's 7:00. "DINNER TIME." (SNES) / "Time to draw a bath." (NS)
*Takes a Break &mdash; It's 9:00. "Guess I'll break."
*[[Petal Blast]] &mdash; It's 10:00. "Time to garden."
*[[Flare]] &mdash; It's 12:00. "It's high noon."
