Clock Watchers is a 4-Player Mic minigame in Mario Party 7.

Overview[edit]

The minigame opens with Goombas cheering in the audience as the players show up.

A time is presented on a large clock by the announcer. Some time after the minigame starts, players say "Stop" into the Mic as close to the presented time as they can. Players have only three seconds to see the timer onscreen. If a player has not stopped their timer by 20 seconds, the game registers it as their time. Players who stop the clock closest to the given time win, but if everyone has the same time, it is a tie.

The crowd cheers as the winning and losing players do their respective animations.

The second word of the minigame title refers to "watch" as in a clock or from observing.

Controls[edit]

  • Microphone – Say: "Stop"

In-game text[edit]
