If | If [[Mario]] and his friends first pull up four large [[vegetable]]s in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', pulling up what would be a fifth one 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 avoid or defeat enemies and collect [[small heart]]s. However, touching the frozen enemies still hurts the player. | ||
They are depicted as gray/green in the NES version and as orange in ''[[Super Mario Advance]]''. In the ''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]'' version, however, they are depicted as gold when playing as Mario or [[Luigi]], gold with a dark red outline as [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]], or blue with a brown outline as [[Toad]]. This is due to the Stop Watch using the same palette as the player character, consequently subjecting them to any changes done when switching characters. | |||

Six related items known as '''Watches''' or '''Clocks'''<ref>''Donkey Kong Land III'' instruction booklet, page 5.</ref> appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]''. Watches, however, cannot be used during gameplay. They are obtained by completing the [[cards]] minigame in each world, where the [[Bear (Donkey Kong Land III)|Bear]] gives them to the player. They act primarily as collectibles which count toward a final game score of 100%, but also act to unlock various time trial challenges after [[King K. Rool]] is defeated for the second and final time. These time trials are merely select levels from the game which are timed, unlike in regular gameplay. Finishing six of the twelve total challenges, on top of collecting all major items in the regular levels, will lead to a perfect game score. | |||
