| |
| '''Ring-a-Ding''', originally known as '''Ding-A-Ling''', is a pair of small bell-like creatures and a member of the [[Smithy Gang]] in ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'' and [[Super Mario RPG (Nintendo Switch)|its remake]].
| |
| | |
| Mario and his allies encounter Ring-a-Ding in the [[Weapon World]]. They, along with [[Count Down]], guard an early part of the world.
| |
| | |
| Ring-a-Ding can attack physically or use special moves, such as [[Dark Star (move)|Dark Star]], which is similar to the special attack used by [[Mallow]], but targets a single character for high damage, [[Doom Reverb]], which casts [[Mute (status effect)|Mute]] against a single character and [[Fear Roulette]], which KOs a party member at random. It can also chant "Time is marching on!" which will cause Count Down to skip ahead hours. Immediately before an attack, stars will shine in front of the bell that is initiating the next attack. A line indicates "Time is marching on!", a circle indicates a physical attack, a flashing star indicates Dark Star, a triangle indicates Doom Reverb / [[Spore Chimes]] / [[Scarecrow Bell]], and a flashing circle indicates Fear Roulette.
