See above. These are two parts of the same "watch" boss/object, and so, like [[Talk:cake (boss)#Decide how to cut the cake|cake]] and [[Talk:Megasmilax#Axing a Smilax|Smilax]], they ought to occupy the same space. | See above.

:::Eh, I'll add it as an option since it could be that ArtePiazza saw it differently, though I can confirm that the message "The watch is broken!" ({{ruby|時計|とけい}}が こわれた!!) still appears in the remake if Count Down is beaten before Ring-a-Ding.

::::There's also [https://twitter.com/kurashimakaz/status/1369697859868659714 this thing], which already showed a time-themed boss called Moebius. I would assume that in the final game, Moebius would still be the name of the time-themed boss, and not just a part of it. As for the Shogakukan guide, that's probably just because of how the rest of the watch is part of the background, which means the sprite for Moebius just shows the hands, and they interpreted that literally.

<s>Is there any official English source which refers to this boss as a "watch"? If not, the only known official name is「時計」(''tokei'') and thus this boss should be named "Tokei" if we merge Count Down and Ring-a-Ding. We cannot call it "Watch" if this English word is not used officially. Moreover,「時計」can refer to any type of clock (in this case, an alarm clock), not just watches.</s> EDIT: I checked, the English version of the game does say "The watch is broken". However, that's when only Count Down is beaten, which may be interpreted as: only Count Down '''is''' the watch, and Ring-a-Dings (which are not broken yet) are not part of the watch itself (depending on how you interpret it). {{User:Jdtendo/sig}} 03:54, July 5, 2024 (EDT) | <s>Is there any official English source which refers to this boss as a "watch"?

Just so we're all on the same page: first option merges Ring-a-Ding and Count Down as "watch (boss)", second option merges Ring-a-Ding and Count Down as "Count Down", and third option keeps Count Down and Ring-a-Ding split.
