Rotating bars[1] are thin green platforms in Super Mario 64 and Super Mario 64 DS. They are found only fastened to the internal walls of Tick Tock Clock, near the player character's starting position in the course. Eight Red Coins are scattered among the rotating bars, making them necessary to navigate for the mission Stop Time for Red Coins.
Rotating bars are among the many platforms within Tick Tock Clock that rotate, moving clockwise. This makes them difficult to navigate without falling off. However, the clock face used to access Tick Tock Clock has moving hands that inform the speed of platforms when the player character enters the face. If the minute hand is on 12 when the player character enters the course, the rotating bars are motionless and parallel with the floor.
