Gotchawrenches first appear in ''[[VS. Wrecking Crew]]'' as nameless enemies and are among the only major enemy obstacles. Red ones move slowly while purple ones, introduced in Phase 3 (Phase 5 in the {{wp|Western world|Western}} version) move quickly. The two types are found together in Phases 7 to 10, but not in Western versions. Gotchawrenches nearly always use the ladder nearest to them. They 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.
Gotchawrenches first appear in ''[[VS. Wrecking Crew]]'' as nameless enemies, where they are 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 in the Japanese version and Phase 5 in the US version, are quick. In Japan, 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.


Starting in Phase 11, red ones are replaced by a hatchet-like variant that behaves the same. This variation is entirely exclusive to ''VS. Wrecking Crew''. In the Western version, the hatchet type debuts in Phase 13 as the slowest enemy. In Phase 15, all three types appear on the stage.

Gotchawrenches are first seen in [[Phase 1 (Wrecking Crew)|Phase 1]] of ''[[Wrecking Crew]]''. They now actively chase [[Mario]] around. They come in two colors, purple (Gotchawrench) and red ('''Gotchawrench Jr.''',<ref>{{cite|title=''Wrecking Crew'' English instruction booklet|page=5}}</ref> which moves more slowly). Gotchawrenches can become trapped in [[drum (Wrecking Crew)|drums]] permanently.
