Clock Watchers
- Not to be confused with Clock-Watcher.
Clock Watchers is a 4-Player Mic minigame found in Mario Party 7. It is very similar to the Duel minigame Time Bomb from Mario Party 2. Its name is a play on "clock" and both forms of the word "watch" (which can mean a device that measures time, or be a verb meaning "to observe").
Introduction
The crowd cheers as the players run onto the stage.
Gameplay
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 microphone 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. The player who comes closest to their target time wins.
Ending
The Goomba-filled audience cheers as the winner does his or her victory animation.
Controls
- Mic – Say: "Stop"
In-game text
