'''Count Down''' is a large being that resembles a stopwatch fused with an hourglass, and a high-ranking member of the [[Smithy Gang]].


'''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|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.


[[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==
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.


==Attack Pattern==
Before the actual attack, Count Down will make an announcement:
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.
