-'''Pendulums''' are uncommon hazards in the ''[[Mario (franchise)|Mario]] ''series. They first appear in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'' as somewhat common obstacles throughout [[Tick Tock Clock]]. In ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and its Nintendo Switch [[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe|port]], pendulums appear in the [[DS Tick-Tock Clock|Tick-Tock Clock]] course as obstacles. In most cases, pendulums block or damage the player's character when touched.

-In both ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and its remake, pendulums appear throughout [[Tick Tock Clock]] as part of the level's clock-based aesthetic. A small pendulum swings within the grandfather clock this level takes place in, likely the one encountered at the very bottom of the level. Certain other pendulums appear higher in the stage, often over pits, requiring [[Mario]] to time his jumps when encountered.

 In [[The Pit and the Pendulums]], two pendulums provide a decent challenge for Mario halfway up the clock, requiring him to cross past them and back without getting pushed off, which results in him dropping a good distance.

-In ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'', and its [[Nintendo Switch]] [[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe|port]], an extra pendulum was added after the clock face; both displaying the [[Lightning Cup]] emblem on both sides. They now swing right in front of ramps the racers are required to cross. Unlike ''Mario Kart DS'', colliding with the pendulums just slow down the racers, which usually drop down in front of the ramp.
