- —Count Down, Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars
Count Down is a large clock-like being and a high-ranking member of the Smithy Gang.
Mario and his allies Mallow, Geno, Bowser, and Toadstool first encounter Count Down while navigating their way through Smithy's 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-Lings.
If Count Down is defeated first before any of the Ding-A-Lings, Count Down's hands will spin for the rest of the battle. Doing this way will not award any Coins after the battle so to get them is that both Ding-A-Lings must be destroyed before Count Down.
Attack pattern
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. The order is shown below, however, when a Ding-A-Ling chants "Time is marching on!" Count Down skips to the next hour.
- Ice Rock, Crystal — 1:00
- Recover — 3:00
- Aurora Flash — 5:00
- Mega Recover — 6:00
- Water Blast — 7:00
- Takes a Break — 9:00
- Petal Blast — 10:00
- Corona — 12:00
