+==History==
+===''Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic'' / ''Super Mario Bros. 2''===
+[[File:SMB2 Killing Phanto.png|thumb|200px|[[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]] pulling up a Stop Watch to stop a [[Phanto]] in ''Super Mario Bros. 2'']]
+If the player first pulls up four large [[vegetable]]s in ''[[Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic]]'' and ''[[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.
-==[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]/[[Super Mario All-Stars]]/[[Super Mario All-Stars + Super Mario World]]/[[Super Mario Advance]]==
+Stop Watches were originally depicted as gray/green. 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. In ''[[Super Mario Advance]]'', Stop Watches are orange.
-If the player first pulls up four large [[vegetables]], pulling up what would normally result in a plant 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 the player to defeat enemies and collect small hearts. However, touching the frozen enemies still damages the player.
-==[[Donkey Kong Land III]]==
+===''Nintendo Comics System''===
-Stop Watches in this game cannot be used during gameplay. They act primarily as collectibles which count toward a final game score of 103% and also act to unlock various time trial challenges after [[King K. Rool]] is defeated for the 2nd and final time. These time trials are merely select levels from the game which are timed unlike in regular gameplay. Finishing 6 of the 12 total challenges on top of collecting all major items in the regular levels will lead to a perfect game score.
+In the ''[[Nintendo Comics System]]'' story ''[[Cloud Nine (comic)|Cloud Nine]]'', it appears as an animate object who acts as the [[Mushroom King]]'s alarm clock, dodging the grumpy King's attempts to swat him and fearfully running to Princess Toadstool for safety.

-When the player uses it, it will [[immobilize]] enemies for a few turns (assuming it is successful). It can be bought at most stores and is a fairly common item.

+====''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door''====

+It reappears in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'' as the Stopwatch. Here, it is a somewhat rare item, for it can only be purchased in [[Twilight Town]] or [[Fahr Outpost]].

+==Trivia==
+[[File:1989CharacterStopWatch.png|thumb|150px|The Stop Watch character in a 1989 character sheet]]
+*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]. Posted August 13, 2020. 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]]''. The character likely originated from a misinterpretation of the Stop Watch illustration in the game's manual, which shows Mario plucking the item from the ground.<ref>MarioBrothBlog (December 5, 2022).
