===Time clock=== | |||
The game's levels have a time limit in the upper right, which counts down, with the background music speeding up when going below 100. If it reaches 000, the game declares Time Up, and Mario loses a life. | |||
However, the in-game timer runs much faster than in real life: 400 seconds on the timer, which is the default when starting most of the levels, is 160 seconds in real time. Super Mario Wiki's ''Super Mario Bros.'' level pages that list time limits as 400 or 300 seconds, instead have a real time limit of 160 or 120 seconds. The timer countdown speed is the same across NTSC and PAL versions. | |||
''[[amiibo tap: Nintendo's Greatest Bits]]'' starts with a real time 180 second limit, which is sufficient to finish any level, presuming it is finished without deaths, and would have 32 timer seconds (15 real time seconds) to spare for any follow-up levels. For its Scene 7 (Level 8-4), this is sufficient to see the game's ending. | |||
