If [[Mario]] and his friends first pull up four large [[vegetable]]s in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', pulling up what would be a fifth one will instead reveal a Stop Watch. It will appear for a second and then freeze everything in the level for a few seconds. This gives a window of opportunity for Mario and his friends to avoid or defeat enemies and collect [[small heart]]s. However, touching the frozen enemies still hurts the player. | If [[Mario]] and his friends first pull up four large [[vegetable]]s in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', pulling up what would be a fifth one will instead reveal a Stop Watch.

*An official 1989 ''Super Mario Bros. 2'' character sheet that was given to third party companies getting the ''Mario'' license for products, included "Stop Watch" as a character. Despite the Stop Watch being merely an item in the original game, this character sheet gave the bottom of the watch part a base with eyes, mouth, legs and hands.<ref>[https://www.suppermariobroth.com/post/626283149466517504/official-1989-super-mario-bros-2-character-sheet suppermariobroth.com]. Posted August 13, 2020. Accessed September 8, 2020.</ref> This Stop Watch character is the same one later used briefly in the ''[[Nintendo Comics System]]'' story, ''[[Cloud Nine (comic)|Cloud Nine]]''. The character likely originated from a misinterpretation of the Stop Watch illustration in the game's manual, which shows Mario plucking the item from the ground.<ref>MarioBrothBlog (December 5, 2022).
