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


'''Clock Watchers''' is a 4-Player Mic [[minigame]] found in ''[[Mario Party 7]]''. Its name is a play on "clock" and both forms of the word "watch" (which is a term for a miniature clock or a verb meaning "to observe").
==Overview==
The minigame opens with [[Goomba]]s cheering in the audience as the players show up.


==Introduction==
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.
The [[Goomba]]-filled audience cheers as the players run onto the stage.


==Gameplay==
The crowd cheers as the winning and losing players do their respective animations.
The announcer gives each player a set time to aim for, which is shown on the large clock. The players have to say "Stop" into the [[Nintendo GameCube#Nintendo GameCube Microphone|Mic]] after an amount of time as close to said amount as possible has passed. After three seconds, the timer will disappear, forcing players to keep track themselves. If a player does not stop the clock within 20 seconds, they are disqualified. The player(s) who come(s) closest to their target time win(s).


==Ending==
The second word of the minigame title refers to "watch" as in a clock or from observing.
The crowd cheers as the winner(s) do(es) their victory animation and, unless all four players get the same distance from the target time, the loser(s) do(es) their losing animation. If all four players are disqualified, the minigame ends in a draw, with the players performing their losing animations.
