Game appearances[edit]

Kirby's Adventure /Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land[edit]

InKirby's Adventure and its remake,Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land, Mr. Tick-Tock is encountered in various areas throughout the game and among the few mid-bosses that are not fought in any of theArenas. He possesses two main forms of attacking: He either marches towardsKirby, stopping and beginning to ring and emit harmful soundwaves when he reaches him, or he rings while keeping at a distance, which causes four large notes to be launched into the air at different angles that Kirby can inhale and spit at the mid-boss to hurt him. Mr. Tick-Tock yields theMikeCopy Ability when inhaled and swallowed after his defeat.
