[[File:SMB2 Killing Phanto.png|thumb|200px|[[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]] pulling up a Stop Watch to stop a [[Phanto]] in ''Super Mario Bros. 2'']] | [[File:SMB2 Killing Phanto.png|thumb|200px|[[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]] pulling up a Stop Watch to stop a [[Phanto]] in ''Super Mario Bros. 2'']] | ||
If | If the player first pulls up four large [[vegetable]]s in ''[[Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic]]'' and ''[[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. | ||
Stop Watches were originally depicted as gray/green. In the ''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]'' version, however, they are depicted as gold when playing as Mario or [[Luigi]], gold with a dark red outline as [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]], or blue with a brown outline as [[Toad]]. This is due to the Stop Watch using the same palette as the player character, consequently subjecting them to any changes done when switching characters. In ''[[Super Mario Advance]]'', Stop Watches are orange. | |||

It reappears in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'' as the Stopwatch. Here, it is a somewhat rare item, for it can only be purchased in [[Twilight Town]] or [[Fahr Outpost]]. The item will immobilize enemies, just as in the game's predecessor. However, enemies can also use the item against Mario or his partners. Several warped clocks appearing in various colors will appear on-screen after using the item. After about four seconds, the item takes effect and immobilizes its target. | It reappears in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'' as the Stopwatch.

*An official 1989 ''Super Mario Bros. 2'' character sheet that was given to third party companies getting the ''Super 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].
