Ring-a-Ding, originally known as Ding-A-Ling, is a pair of small bell-like creatures and a member of the Smithy Gang.
Mario and his allies encounter Ring-a-Ding in Smithy's Factory. They, along with Count Down, guard an early part of the factory.
Ring-a-Ding can attack physically or use special moves, such as Dark Star, which is similar to the special attack used by Mallow, but targets a single character for high damage, Doom Reverb, which casts Mute against a single character and Fear Roulette, which KOs a party member at random. It can also chant "Time is marching on!" which will cause Count Down to skip ahead hours.
