+ Clock
Clocks are items that appear in Super Mario Galaxy 2. Their appearance is a green clock with a knob on top, with the minute hand pointed at it. These appear in several Speedy Comet missions and add ten seconds to the player's time limit, which starts at either twenty or thirty seconds. The player must collect these in order to complete the level. They only appear in the Speedy Comet missions for Sky Station Galaxy, Bowser's Lava Lair, Bowser's Gravity Gauntlet, Bowser's Galaxy Generator, and Stone Cyclone Galaxy. Taking shortcuts in a mission will often cause players to miss them.
Clocks reappear in Super Mario 3D Land with a similar purpose and will refill the time left to complete the level. There are two kinds: Blue Clocks and Green Clocks. Blue Clocks will refill 10 seconds and Green Clocks will refill 100 seconds.
