- “There's something strange about that clock. As you jump inside, watch the position of the big hand.”
- —Toad, Super Mario 64
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 Mushroom Castle with 50 Power Stars. The entrance to Tick Tock Clock is the face of the large grandfather clock. Based on when the player jumps 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 platforms will turn, move, or flip; conveyor belts will move; and pendulums and the large hands will swing.
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 Stars, the other being Shifting Sand Land.
Tick Tock Clock is referenced in various other games. It receives a racetrack in Mario Kart DS, and it returns in Mario Kart 8 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. The Mario Party 3 minigame 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.
Layout[edit]
Map of Tick Tock Clock in Super Mario 64 DS
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-ombs fall and attack the player in this area. To the left of the starting area are several ascending rotating bars 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 Coins are placed. In front of the player's starting position is a large pendulum followed by a conveyor belt and a square 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 third Power Star. This platform has a yellow block with coins, as well as a flame thrower nearby.
After the clock hand are several hexagonal flipping blocks leading to a 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 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 Moving Bars 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 fourth Power Star.
