Mr. Tick-Tock is a mid-boss who grants the Mike ability. He resembles an alarm clock with four hands on his face. The upper hands serve as eyebrows and the lower hands serve as a mustache. He comes in assorted colors throughout the series. He attacks by jumping and launching music notes as well as making short-ranged sound waves. Although usually a mid-boss, Mr. Tick-Tock also appears as a drawing in Paint Panic, a sub-game in Kirby: Canvas Curse.
