Overview

Tick Tock Clock is the 14th course in the game, which has a level theme of the inside of a clock. This level's core focus is in platforming with variable part movement in the clock. Like Rainbow Ride and other open air courses, you can fall into the death barrier

at any time, from any height.

Upwarp

In 2015, speedrunner DOTA_Teabag managed to capture an upwarp glitch during a speedrun race with MidBoss. Soon after, due to the inability to replicate this upwarp, pannenkoek2012 placed a US$1,000 bounty for anyone who could replicate and record the upwarp in Mupen64. The bounty has not yet been claimed, and the upwarp has yet to be replicated.

Coins

There are 128 coins naturally in the course. With cloning, it is possible to clone 279 coins before the game crashes.

A Press Counts

There are currently 7x A presses needed inside TTC in the A Button Challenge

A Press #	Multiplicity	Purpose
#1	3	To get out of the treadmill grinding spot
#2, #3, #4	1	To get from the rotating boxes to the top of the clock
#5	1	To get past the Thwomp

It should be noted that it requires 1x A Press to enter TTC, which is repeated four times.

Spawning Displacement A Press Saves

Mario can collect Stop Time for Red Coins on a spinner by cloning it. He can also collect The Pit and the Pendulums on a spinner by kicking a wall as he collects the star, which allows him to keep that momentum and fall across the course, landing on a spinner down below. These spinners can be used on the random setting to provide spawning displacement that allows Mario to spawn back on top of the clock, which saves 1 A press each time it is used.
