'''Tick Tock Clock''' is the fourteenth level in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and its remake ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]''. It takes place inside a giant clock. [[Mario]] must deal with the clock's moving gears, pendulums, and other obstacles that change speed depending on what position the clock's minute hand is in when he jumps into the level. Tick Tock Clock is the second to last level in both games and is found on the third floor of ''[[Peach's Castle]]''. It also was remade into a race course that appears in the [[Star Cup]] of ''[[Mario Kart DS]]''. The entrance to the level is an old grandfather clock, and the minute hand controls the time inside. Enter when the hand points at 12, and all moving parts will freeze. Enter between just after 12 and just before 6 to make them move slowly, between just after 6 and just before 12 to make them move quickly, and 6 to make them move at random speeds, in random directions. In order to open the star door in front of it, Mario will need at least 50 Power Stars.

From the entrance, Mario should head past the fist swing pendulum over the conveyor belt and then pass the shifting blocks. After, Mario should pass by the large plane where the moving hand may pass. Continuing on, Mario should see the power star near a conveyor belt underneath the cage like grid. He cannot grab the power star yet as he cannot get into the cage. Instead he must go to the top and obtain the Vanish Cap, then drop down the mesh floor from the top into the cage where he will grab the power star, or just go on these platforms then grab the power star.

'''Tick Tock Clock''' is the fourteenth course in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]''. To access the course, the player needs to open the [[Big Star Door]] on the third floor of the [[Peach's Castle|Mushroom Castle]] with 50 [[Power Star]]s. The entrance to Tick Tock Clock is the face of the large grandfather clock. Based on when the player [[jump]]s into the clock (rounded to the nearest quarter hour), the speeds of the internal clockworks change: Entering when the minute hand is nearest "12" makes everything stop, entering near "3" makes everything move slowly, entering near "6" makes everything move randomly and change speeds frequently, and entering near "9" makes everything move quickly. If time is not still, several [[platform]]s will turn, move, or flip; [[Conveyor Belt|conveyor belt]]s will move; and [[pendulum]]s and the large hands will swing.  
In ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'' the name of this level has been changed to '''Luigi in the Cage''', as Luigi is the only member of the group that can turn invisible. When Luigi reaches the cage, there will be no entrance but a [[? Block]] will be available. Opening it will reveal a [[Power Flower]] which grants Luigi invisibility. Luigi will then be able to walk through the cage and get the star.


Tick Tock Clock appears to be changed more than any other [[level]] in the DS remake, with many areas altered for easier difficulty, removing elements such as the triangular blocks and fog effects, and repositioning several areas of the level. It is one of two courses with both a Switch Star and [[Silver Star]]s, the other being [[Shifting Sand Land]].
===Star 2. The Pit and the Pendulums===
[[Image:Pit65.jpg|left|thumb]]
For this mission, Mario should follow the same path as in the previous mission. This time however, Mario should continue past the cage. Once Mario reaches the top of the pole, he should head left. Eventually he'll come to a place that contains two pendulums. Navigating his way through, he'll reach the next power star. It's easier to make the clock minute hand on "12" and the stuff are not moving. (The Stuff are like the Pendulums, the hand for getting Star 3 (Get a Hand), and others)


Tick Tock Clock is referenced in various other games. It receives [[DS Tick-Tock Clock|a racetrack]] in ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'', and it returns in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]''. The ''[[Mario Party 3]]'' minigame [[Ticktock Hop|Tick Tock Hop]] takes place on the clock's painting from ''Super Mario 64''; the [[minigame]] returns in ''[[Mario Party Superstars]]''. In the Super Mario Mash-up in ''[[Minecraft]]'', there is a painting of the entrance to Tick Tock Clock. [[Luigi]]'s Top Gear Sentry weapon in ''[[Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle]]'' references Tick Tock Clock, as the description mentions that the gear wheels on the weapon were taken from an old clocktower at Peach's Castle.
In the DS remake, ''Super Mario 64 DS'', the star is called '''The Pendulum Switch Star'''.


==Layout==
===Star 3. Get a Hand===
[[File:SM64DS Tick Tock Clock Map.png|frame|left|Map of Tick Tock Clock in ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'']]
[[Image:Get a hand.jpg|thumb|]]
[[File:SM64 TickTockClock.png|thumb|Tick Tock Clock entrance]]
This time, Mario should re-enter the stage making sure not to have the clock's minute hand on "12". He will need to have the clock moving. The player should have Mario travel up to the large platform and wait for the large hand to to pass by. Mario will need to jump onto it and ride it until it brings him to the little alcove with the Power Star in it. There is another (easier) way to get the star. The player can see this star from the cage with the first star. Just jump off, slide down and you can drop into the alcove.
The player starts at the base of the clock's mechanics. In the DS version, there is additional ground around the base of the clock, and [[Bob-omb]]s fall and attack the player in this area. To the left of the starting area are several ascending [[rotating bar]]s that spin if time is not still, along with a [[Spinning Heart]] below them; the rotating bars lead up to the area with the first rotating hand and are where all of the [[Red Coin]]s are placed. In front of the player's starting position is a large pendulum followed by a conveyor belt and a square [[rotating platform|flipping block]]. Afterward is another pendulum followed by a ramp leading to three square flipping blocks, followed by the platform that the earlier rotating bars lead to; it has a large clock hand swinging around nearby that brings the player to the [[Get a Hand|third Power Star]]. This platform has a [[! Block|yellow block]] with [[coin]]s, as well as a [[flame thrower (Flame Chomp)|flame thrower]] nearby.  


After the clock hand are several hexagonal flipping blocks leading to a [[Roll into the Cage|caged Power Star]], followed by a small [[lift]] above, then a pole with an [[Amp]] circling it. After the player climbs up the pole, the path splits: To the left are a [[Heave-Ho]] and an area with a triangular flipping block and two pendulums, leading to the [[The Pit and the Pendulums|second Power Star]]. To the right of the pole are a lift (or two lifts in the DS version) leading farther up the clock. Above the lift(s) are flipping blocks leading upward, with a mesh floor with [[Bomp|Moving Bar]]s to the right of them. Up the flipping blocks is a bending platform with Moving Bars placed under a cage that contains a yellow block full of coins. Afterward, a couple of conveyor belts lead to a long bending platform with several rotating bars and triangular flipping blocks (or square flipping blocks in the DS version) breaking it up, and a large platform is in the middle. At the top of the bending platform is another clock hand that can bring the player to an area with a [[Thwomp]], which can carry the player to the [[Stomp on the Thwomp|fourth Power Star]].
===Star 4. Stomp On the Thwomp===
{{br|left}}
[[Image:Tick_tock.JPG|thumb|left|]]
For Mario to acquire this star, Mario will need to proceed to ascend up the path to the flagpole. Once he has climbed it, Mario should head left and follow his way up around the clock. Eventually he'll reach where there is another clock hand (Note: the clock parts must be in motion). Riding it will take him to a conveyor belt with a [[Thwomp]] at the end. Jumping atop if it will take Mario high enough to jump the next star.

[[Image:Timedjumps65.jpg|thumb]]
!Mission
In order to find the star for this mission, Mario must go to the right (above the 2 pendulums in the pit and the pendulums mission) and jump on a series of bars that jut out and sink back in to the wall. After clearing these bars Mario will come to a platform with the power star on it.

Bomb-omb SM64.png|[[Bob-omb]]s
Heading right from the entrance, Mario should see many green bars and a bunch of [[Red Coins]]. Normally the platforms would be rotating but if Mario was to enter the level when the minute hand was on "12", they will be stationary (making it much easier to get the coins). After the last coin is found, the power star will appear above the [[Star Marker]].

Tick Tock Clock Painting.png
Tick Tock Clock is also a course in ''[[Mario Kart DS]]''. It is modeled after the course Tick Tock Clock of ''Super Mario 64''. Near the start of the course, the racers will run around a first clock, where they can take a speed boost by running over some [[Dash Panel]]s. After the clock, an ever ticking pendulum can knock the drivers off if they collide with it. Throughout the course there are rotating gears, which lead the karts in 360˚ arcs around the center. Racers then go to a second clock, smaller than the first one, having [[Item Box]]es moving around. At the end of the course the are many gears protruding from the ground like tires, which spin in opposite directions of each other. If the drivers go up the gear which is turning away from them, then drivers will run slightly faster. All gears in the course change direction every 45 seconds. Clock hands are another obstacle that would spin back and forth, spinning out any [[kart]] that touches them. Missions 6-7, along with 7-3 are located here.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*In the N64 version, the last used speed of the clock can be seen in the credits. In the DS version, it always appears to be moving at the speed when the clock is entered at the number 3; the same applies to the N64 version if it has not been visited by the player.
*The star called "The Pit and the Pendulums" is a pun on the book ''[[wikipedia:The Pit and the Pendulum|The Pit and the Pendulum]]'' by [[wikipedia:Edgar Allan Poe|Edgar Allan Poe]].
*The name of the 100-Coin Star is '''Multi-coin Blocks'''.<ref>{{cite|author=Pelland, Scott and Dan Owsen|title=''Super Mario 64'' Player's Guide|page=127|date=en-us|publisher=Nintendo of America}}</ref>
*The ''[[Mario Party 3]]'' minigame, [[Tick Tock Hop]], takes place in this clock's hands.
 
*In the ''[[Mario Party 8]]'' minigame ''[[In the Nick of Time]]'', the clock looks a little bit similar
==References==
*In Mario Kart DS, if you hit the pendulum it will rings.
