Stop Watch

- Not to be confused with the Timer.
If Mario or his friends first pulls up four large vegetables in Super Mario Bros. 2, pulling up what would normally result in a plant will instead reveal a Stop Watch. It will appear for a second and then freeze everything in the level for a few seconds. This gives a window of opportunity for Mario and his friends to defeat enemies and collect small hearts. But, touching enemies still hurts them, but the enemies do not move.

A Stop Watch from Super Mario Bros. 2 and Paper Mario.
The Stop Watch later appears as an item in the Paper Mario series. When Mario uses it, it will immobilize enemies for a few turns (assuming it is successful). It can be bought at most stores and is a fairly common item.
