Clock Out is a special move in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door that has a chance of immobilizing the target. It is acquired after obtaining the Emerald Star from Chapter 2. and uses up two SP. Upon starting the move, a bomb falls from the ceiling and lands near Mario. To pass the bomb to the enemies, the player must mash either , or repeatedly over the current target. There are three possible places where the bomb could land: Mario's side, the enemies' side, or the audience. The player needs to try to get it to the enemies' side to freeze them. Over time, the buttons will switch places and the player should hit the button showing up over the enemies. If the enemy is on the ceiling or is too large, a Shy Guy (Black Shy Guy in the remake) holds the bomb for them, running offstage once the attack is complete. Once the bomb explodes, how long the targets get immobilized depends on how well the Action Command is performed. The effect can range from one turn to three turns. Bill Blasters, X-Yuxes, Smorg and Bonetail are completely immune to the move. Additionally, Prince Mush is immune in the remake.
