The '''Timer''' ({{ja|タイマー|Taimā}}, ''Timer'') is an item in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''. It was previously referred to as ''Clock'' before the [http://www.smashbros.com/wii/en_us/items/item15.html Item Encyclopedia] update. When the Timer is grabbed, all characters except for the character who grabbed it will be slowed down to 1/4 speed. This presents a significant buff for any character not to be slowed down - slowed characters will have a difficult time landing hits; and become far easier to hit, even with charged [[smash attack|smash]]es. However, the timer occasionally backfires, causing either only the player who grabbed the Timer to slow down, or each and every character to slow down. As with the Smash Ball, Lightning Bolt and Dragoon Parts, computer players will try to grab this item as soon as possible. [[Shadow]] uses Chaos Control to much the same effect, except that he never backfires and the effect lasts regardless if the opponent gets KO'd in that time. This item will slow down movement, hitstun, and falling, making it possible to trap enemies in hitstun with certain attacks. However, knockback is not slowed down. Anyone hit with a powerful attack will still be KO'd just as fast as if he or she was not under Timer influence.
