Tim (Super Mario: The Secret Land)

Tim is a purple ball-like creature that is Mario’s companion in Super Mario: The Secret Land. He is Starlow’s cousin.
Tim was born in the Millennial Starfall, which was a miracle of a star’s birth that only happened every thousand years and was born from a purple shooting star one that fell in Golden Dash City. Tim was lost after he was born by the star. But then, he was found by DJ Yellow, who wanted to keep him as a “best friend for life”. He is really bad at a sport called Roll Ball, when you had to go in your ball form and get the ball into your goal. He also still remembers his memory about it. When the Mushroom Kingdom Destruction happened, Mario fell in the middle of nowhere and Tim went to check him. He was originally going to go back immediately after checking, but instead, Mario tells Tim the story and joins him to piece together the Time Fragments. One point in the adventure, he went to a place that did have some fragments which was Showdown Stadium. When the coach mentioned they were playing Roll Ball, and the winner takes a piece of a magical sculpture that lets you time travel, Tim was reflecting back to his memory about the sport. Mario said he will train with him. They win and take the fragment. Finally, they reach Bowser and battle him. After he got defeated, the fragments combined to let Mario travel back in time to before the Mushroom Kingdom Destruction to stop it.
