[[File: | [[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 [[Mario]] and his friends first pull up four large [[vegetable]]s in ''[[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. | ||
They are depicted as gray/green in the NES version and as orange in ''[[Super Mario Advance]]''. 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. | |||

The Stop Watch later appears as an item in ''[[Paper Mario]]''. When Mario or his partners use it, it will [[immobilize]] enemies for a few turns (assuming it is successful).
