'''Tick Tock Clock''' is the fourteenth course in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]''. To access the course, the player needs to open the [[Big Star Door]] on the third floor of the [[Peach's Castle|Mushroom Castle]] with 50 [[Power Star]]s. The entrance to Tick Tock Clock is the face of the large grandfather clock. Based on when the player [[jump]]s into the clock (rounded to the nearest quarter hour), the speeds of the internal clockworks change: Entering when the minute hand is nearest to "12" will make everything stop, entering near "3" will make everything move slowly, entering near "6" will make everything move randomly and change speeds frequently, and entering near "9" will make everything move quickly. If time is not still, several [[platform]]s will turn, move, or flip; [[Conveyor Belt]]s will move; and [[pendulum]]s and the large hands will swing.  

Tick Tock Clock is referenced in various other games. It receives a [[DS Tick-Tock Clock|racetrack]] in ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'', which returns in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]''. The ''[[Mario Party 3]]'' minigame [[Ticktock Hop|Tick Tock Hop]] takes place on the clock's painting from ''Super Mario 64''; the [[minigame]] returns in ''[[Mario Party Superstars]]''. In the Super Mario Mash-up in ''[[Minecraft]]'', there is a painting of the entrance to Tick Tock Clock. [[Luigi]]'s Top Gear Sentry weapon in ''[[Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle]]'' references Tick Tock Clock, as the description mentions that the gear wheels on the weapon were taken from an old clock tower at Peach's Castle.

The player starts at the base of the clock's mechanics. In the [[Nintendo DS|DS]] version, there is additional ground around the base of the clock, and [[Bob-omb]]s will fall and attack the player in this area. To the left of the starting area are several ascending green platforms that spin if time is not still, along with a [[Spinning Heart]] below them; these green platforms lead up to the area with the first rotating hand and are where all of the [[Red Coin]]s are placed. In front of the player's starting position is a large pendulum followed by a Conveyor Belt and a rotating block. Afterward is another pendulum followed by a ramp leading to three rotating blocks, followed by the platform that the earlier green platforms lead to; it has a large clock hand swinging around nearby that will bring the player to the [[Get a Hand|third Power Star]]. This platform has a [[! Block|yellow block]] with [[coin]]s, as well as a [[Keronpa Ball]] nearby.  

After the hand are a number of spinning platforms leading to a [[Roll into the Cage|caged Power Star]], followed by a small [[lift]] above, then a pole with an [[Amp]] circling it. After the player climbs up the pole, the path splits: To the left are a [[Heave-Ho]] and an area with a spinning triangular platform and two pendulums, leading to the [[The Pit and the Pendulums|second Power Star]]. To the right of the pole are lifts leading farther up the clock. Above the lifts are rotating blocks leading upward, with a mesh floor with [[Bomp|Moving Bar]]s behind them. Up the rotating blocks is a bending platform with Moving Bars placed under a cage that contains a yellow block full of coins. Afterward, a couple of Conveyor Belts lead to a long bending platform with several spinning platforms and blocks breaking it up and a large platform in the middle. At the top of the platform is another clock hand that can bring the player to an area with a [[Thwomp]], which can carry the player to the [[Stomp on the Thwomp|fourth Power Star]].
