Up to three alarms can be set to play ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]''-themed [[#List of alarm music|music]]. For each alarm, the player can set its volume, which overrides the system volume, and whether to snooze, automatically cycling between one minute of alarm and four minutes of silence for an hour. Alarms will only work while ''Mario Clock'' is open, but they can play while the system is flipped close or otherwise placed into sleep mode. Alarms can be set for up to 23 hours 59 minutes ahead. If an alarm is set to for example 16:22 while the clock shows 16:22:15, the alarm sounds immediately. | |||
The clock can be set to analog, 12-hour digital, and 24-hour digital display modes, all of which also show seconds. The default time is taken from the system settings. The application also shows the current date, day of the week, and battery charge; when the system is on very low power (blinking red LED on Nintendo 3DS), the graphics tint red. | |||
The bottom screen will go dark after 30 seconds of no input, while the upper screen will also go dark after either five minutes, one hour, or never, depending on the "Energy Saving" setting in Settings. Both screens will resume displaying after touching the touch screen or pressing any buttons. | |||
The application requires 24 [[Memory Card|blocks]] (3.0 MB) to be installed. | |||

''Turn back time and enjoy a bit of classic game play based on the original Super Mario Bros. with Mario Clock. Help Mario and Luigi collect more coins than ever (POW block anyone?) while they run through a variety of stages. Gather enough coins and you'll be treated to another scene bound to bring back fond memories for many. Mario Clock includes both analog and digital clocks that use the system's internal clock or allow you to offset the time however you like. Program up to three alarms (with snooze functionality for those that need it) and assign them a Mario-related sound or use one created in the Nintendo DSi™ Sound application. You'll find yourself thinking "Just a few more coins..." in no time!'' | |||
===British English=== | |||
''With Mario Clock, you'll always have the time wherever you go! Wake up with classic Mario music, or simply use the Nintendo DSi system as a desktop clock complete with a Super Mario Bros. background. You can even make Mario jump, bash blocks and collect coins!'' | |||
''Customise the clock to your liking: choose from analog or digital displays, 12-hour or 24-hour modes, and set up to three separate alarms with different NES-style Mario tunes or use your own saved sounds from the Nintendo DSi Sound application.'' | |||

Craig Harris of IGN was extremely critical of ''Mario Clock'', saying it is "not worth even the budget 200 points." He mainly criticized the application's uselessness in comparison to ''[[Mario Calculator]]'', and stated that "to have these two as individual 200 point downloads instead of combining them into one is just flat-out greedy." Harris called the gameplay "mostly stupid, pointless, and completely unnecessary, but at the very least it's sort of funny to see the numbers on the clock scatter when you hit a POW block."<ref>[https://www.ign.com/articles/2009/06/15/mario-clock-review]</ref> | Craig Harris of IGN was extremely critical of ''Mario Clock'', saying it is "not worth even the budget 200 points."
