Editing Rocky Wrench

'''Rocky Wrenches''' are enemies employed as crewmen on [[Bowser's Minions]]' vehicles.<ref name="jpname">{{cite|quote=「モグラようなカメ{{ruby|族|ぞく}}。{{ruby|穴|あな}}からニョキッと{{ruby|出|で}}てきてスパナを{{ruby|投|な}}げてくる。{{ruby|飛行船|ひこうせん}}の{{ruby|乗組員|のりくみいん}}だ。」 ("''Mole-like members of the [[Koopa (species)|Turtle Tribe]].

Wii]]'', they are given a new design in which they lack shells (with the exception of the game styles in the ''[[Super Mario Maker (disambiguation)|Super Mario Maker]]'' series based on older games), instead sharing a model with their more prolific derivative, [[Monty Mole]]s, but wearing goggles, a detail carried over to many of their subsequent appearances in the franchise. All of their derivatives, including Monty Moles and their own derivatives, have always been treated as "true" moles, and Rocky Wrench's original description has not been applied to the redesign and they have since been called moles instead of mole-like on at least one occasion.<ref>{{cite|quote=These crafty moles show themselves just long enough to throw a wrench at you before dropping back out of sight.|author=von Esmarch, Nick|date=November 13, 2011|publisher=[[Prima Games]]|language=en-us|isbn=978-0-307-89386-4|title=''Super Mario 3D Land'' PRIMA Official Game Guide|page=15}}</ref> In ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]''{{'}}s final wave in the ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass|Booster Course Pass]]'' DLC, they are given a design more reminiscent of their original appearance, now featuring a brown muzzle and once again bearing a shell, a look which is also used in ''[[Super Mario Party Jamboree]]''.

 

Rocky Wrenches first appear in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' as enemies on [[airship]]s, [[tank]]s, and ships belonging to the Koopa Troop. Upon sighting either [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]], a Rocky Wrench will pop out of its hole on these vehicles and throw wrenches at them before descending back into its hole. They first appear in {{world link|2|airship3|World 2-Airship (Super Mario Bros. 3)}}.

Rocky Wrenches reappear in ''[[Super Mario Run]]'', appearing only in [[Throwing It All Overboard]] in the main game. Additionally, they can occasionally appear in the [[Airship]] courses seen in [[Toad Rally]] and [[Remix 10]]. If a Rocky Wrench is defeated, then any wrench it threw also vanishes. Some Rocky Wrenches throw coins instead of wrenches, and these coins do not disappear in this manner but do when they hit walls. Rocky Wrenches come back out of the ground much quicker than they do in most games, almost immediately after they go down. Rocky Wrenches can only be [[Vaulting|vaulted over]] while they are not fully underground, though they can be vaulted over even while not fully extended above ground.

In ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'', Rocky Wrenches appear in the retro course, {{classic|DS|Airship Fortress}}, as well as {{classic link|GBA|Battle Course 1}}. They retain their tactics from ''Mario Kart DS'', though they appear with their ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'' design. They can also be jumped on safely, and the player can even perform a [[trick]] off them.

Rocky Wrenches appear in ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'' in the final wave of the ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass|Booster Course Pass]]'' DLC, reappearing in {{classic|Tour|Rome Avanti}}. They are now designed to look more like their original appearance in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', having brown, pointy snouts, white claws, black shells, and blue goggles with thin, white straps. They still retain a couple details from their previous, more Monty Mole–like design, such as the goggles being round, and having white bellies.

In the [[NES Remix (series)|''NES Remix'' series]], Rocky Wrenches appear in some of the ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' challenges of ''[[NES Remix 2]]'' and ''[[Ultimate NES Remix]]'', both including them in levels where they originally appeared. In one specific challenge, the player must defeat one Rocky Wrench in {{world link|8|tank3|World 8-Big Tanks}}.

Rocky Wrenches appear alongside a [[Mega Rocky Wrench]] in the [[Mega Rocky Wrench Wreckers]] minigame in ''[[Super Mario Party Jamboree]]'', retaining their design from ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'', albeit with a model update giving it a mouth between the brown and white part of its snout. In the minigame, the Mega Rocky Wrench will pop out of manholes on an airship, occasionally throwing wrenches. Players must shoot the Mega Rocky Wrench with their [[Cannon|cannons]] in order to damage it. Players can also shoot the wrenches thrown to prevent themselves from getting stunned by it. A group of regular Rocky Wrenches will also sometimes pop out of the manholes to fool players after the Mega Rocky Wrench has lost half of its health. The Mega Rocky Wrench also makes appearances on posters in [[Rainbow Galleria]].<ref>{{file link|SMPJ Rainbow Galleria Escalator.jpg}}</ref>
