Gotchawrenches first appeared in the ''[[VS. Wrecking Crew]]'' arcade game for the [[VS. System]] as nameless enemies, where they were among the only major enemy obstacles. They appear much as they do in the subsequent console game but do not actively hunt [[Mario]]. Red ones move slowly while purple ones, introduced in Phase 3, are quick. The two types are found together only in Phases 7 to 10. They will almost always use the nearest ladder they come across. Gotchawrenches will transit between the foreground and background screens through opened [[door (Wrecking Crew series)|door]]s in their path. A Gotchawrench on the opposite screen appears as a harmless silhouette. | |||
