'''Clock Watchers''' is a 4-Player Mic [[minigame]] in ''[[Mario Party 7]]''.


==Gameplay==
==Overview==
A time will be shown on a large clock. The players have to say "Stop" into the [[Gamecube]] mic after that amount of time has passed. The player who comes closest wins. However, after 3 seconds, the time will disappear, forcing players to keep track of time themselves.
The minigame opens with [[Goomba]]s cheering in the audience as the players show up.


==Trivia==
A time is presented on a large clock by the announcer. Some time after the minigame starts, players say "Stop" into the [[Nintendo GameCube#Nintendo GameCube Microphone|Mic]] as close to the presented time as they can. Players have only three seconds to see the timer onscreen. If a player has not stopped their timer by 20 seconds, the game registers it as their time. Players who stop the clock closest to the given time win, but if everyone has the same time, it is a tie.
*This mini-game is very similar to the duel mini-game, [[Time Bomb]] from ''[[Mario Party 2]]''.
 
*The mini-game's name comes from the word "clock" and "watch"; both devices measure time.

*The mini game is also like [[Clock Stoppers]] from ''[[Mario Party 5]]''.
