Time Limit: Difference between revisions

When the time limit decreases to 100 seconds (1:40), or in some games, 99 seconds (1:39), the "hurry up" jingle plays to warn that the player is running low on time and the level's music plays at a faster speed. In ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'', ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', and ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'', the time limit glows red when it reaches 100 seconds (1:40), and also beeps for every second at the last 10 seconds.

In ''[[Super Mario World]]'', one count of time is exactly 41 frames in the NTSC version, and 35 frames in the PAL version. Most levels have a time limit of 300 seconds (5:00). Some levels like most [[Ghost House]]s (bar the [[Choco-Ghost House]] and [[Valley Ghost House]]), [[Yoshi's Island 2]], [[Donut Plains 1]], [[Donut Plains 2]], and [[2 Morton's Castle]] have 400 seconds (6:40). Switch Palaces, the [[Top Secret Area]] (in the [[Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2|GBA version]] only), and [[Funky (level)|Funky]] have only 200 seconds (3:20), though it is possible to increase Funky's time limit by having [[Yoshi]] eat a [[Berry#Super_Mario_World|green berry]]. Due to the timer's absence during the final battle, there is no time bonus for defeating Bowser.

In the GBA version, Bowser's [[Front Door]] time limit of 400 seconds (6:40) is doubled to 800 seconds (13:20), his [[Back Door]] is increased from 400 seconds (6:40) to 600 seconds (10:00), and the timer keeps running in the final battle. Additionally, the time bonus is x100, x200, and x500 for defeating [[Reznor]]s and [[Big Boo (boss)|Big Boos]], the Koopalings, and Bowser, respectively.

The time limit can be increased by collecting a [[+ Clock]]. The amount added depends on whether it is a cyan clock (10 seconds) or green clock (100 seconds) (1:40). In certain Special World courses, the time limit starts at 30 seconds, and it must be extended by collecting cyan clocks or beating certain enemies which hold cyan clocks (mostly Goombas) to keep it from expiring.

In this game, the time limit's indicator (the icon of which is a + Clock) starts to glow red when the timer falls below 100 seconds (1:40). When there are only 10 seconds remaining, the indicator beeps every second.

In the game's [[Coin Rush]] mode, most levels have a time limit of 100 seconds (1:40), though some courses, like [[World 1-1 (New Super Mario Bros. 2)|World 1-1]] and [[Third Course (Coin Challenge Pack A)|the third course]] of [[Coin Challenge Pack A]] start with only 50 and 20 seconds, respectively. It can be increased by passing a [[Checkpoint Flag]] (which adds 50 seconds or 100 seconds) or by grabbing + clocks, though green ones only add 50 seconds to the timer instead, unlike in ''Super Mario 3D Land''. Like in ''Super Mario 3D Land'', the remaining time is converted to coins, with a coin gained for every five seconds remaining.

Every level in ''[[New Super Luigi U]]'' starts at 100 seconds (1:40). 100 additional seconds (1:40) are added to the timer when entering a boss door, while 250 additional seconds (4:10) are added before fighting [[Bowser]]. Each in-game count lasts one second in ''New Super Luigi U''.

If one of the characters being played is [[Nabbit]] or [[Toadette]] in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe]]'', only 100 seconds (1:40) will be added to the timer, even if both characters are present.

The time limit reappears in ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'', working as it does in ''Super Mario 3D Land'', though it once again gives points instead. Certain courses (like [[Pretty Plaza Panic]]) have a 100-second time limit (1:40). The + Clocks also return, working as they do in ''Super Mario 3D Land''.

*A [[List of Super Mario World glitches#Green Berries and music speed|glitch in ''Super Mario World'']] involves letting the timer drop below 100 seconds to make the music speed up, then using Yoshi to eat a green berry to bring the time limit back above 100 seconds (1:40). When the timer reaches 100 seconds (1:40) again, the music will speed up a second time, this can be repeated several times to make the game music play very fast.
