It is the fourteenth course of Super Mario 64 and its remake Super Mario 64 DS. It takes place inside a giant clock. The player must deal with the clock's moving gears, pendulums, and other obstacles that change speed depending on what position the clock's minute hand is in when he jumps into the level. Tick Tock Clock is the second to last level in both games and is found on the third floor of Peach's Castle.
“There's something strange about that clock. As you (the player) jump inside, watch the position of the big hand.”
—Toad, Super Mario 64

Super Mario 64 - Stomp On the Thwomp
The entrance to the level is an old grandfather clock, and the minute hand controls the time inside. Enter when the hand points at 12, and all moving parts will freeze. Enter between 12 and 6 to make them move slowly, and between 6 and 12 to make them move quickly. Entering at 6 makes them move at random speeds, in random directions. In order to open the star door in front of it, Mario will need at least fifty Power Stars.
It also was remade into a race course that appears in the Star Cup of Mario Kart DS.

It became annoying after a while because you do need the platforms to move lol.
