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