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. | |||

*An official 1989 ''Super Mario Bros. 2'' character sheet that was given to third party companies getting the ''Super Mario'' license for products, included "Stop Watch" as a character. Despite the Stop Watch being merely an item in the original game, this character sheet gave the bottom of the watch part a base with eyes, mouth, legs and hands.<ref>[https://www.suppermariobroth.com/post/626283149466517504/official-1989-super-mario-bros-2-character-sheet suppermariobroth.com].

Accessed September 8, 2020.</ref> This Stop Watch character is the same one later used briefly in the ''[[Nintendo Comics System]]'' story, ''[[Cloud Nine (comic)|Cloud Nine]]''.
