'''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" makes everything stop, entering near "3" makes everything move slowly, entering near "6" makes everything move randomly and change speeds frequently, and entering near "9" makes everything move quickly. If time is not still, several [[platform]]s will turn, move, or flip; [[Conveyor Belt|conveyor belt]]s will move; and [[pendulum]]s and the large hands will swing.

Tick Tock Clock appears to be changed more than any other [[level]] in the DS remake, with many areas altered for easier difficulty, removing elements such as the triangular blocks and fog effects, and repositioning several areas of the level. It is one of two courses with both a Switch Star and [[Silver Star]]s, the other being [[Shifting Sand Land]].

The player starts at the base of the clock's mechanics. In the DS version, there is additional ground around the base of the clock, and [[Bob-omb]]s 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 brings the player to the [[Get a Hand|third Power Star]]. This platform has a [[! Block|yellow block]] with [[coin]]s, as well as a [[flame thrower (Flame Chomp)|flame thrower]] nearby.

After the clock 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 triangular blocks (or square blocks in the DS version) 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]].

*In the N64 version, the last used speed of the clock can be seen in the credits. In the DS version, it will always appear to be moving at the speed when the clock is entered at the number 3; the same applies to the N64 version if it has not been visited by the player.
