'''''Wrecking Crew''''' is the second game and namesake installment of the [[Wrecking Crew (series)|series of the same name]]. It was released in [[List of games by date#1985|1985]] for the [[Family Computer]] in Japan and later that year for the [[Nintendo Entertainment System]] in North America, eventually making it to Europe in [[List of games by date#1987|1987]]. ''Wrecking Crew'' was released on the [[Wii]]'s, [[Nintendo 3DS]]'s, and [[Wii U]]'s [[Virtual Console]], as well as for [[Nintendo Entertainment System - Nintendo Switch Online|Nintendo Switch Online]]. It follows the [[VS. System]] version of the game called ''[[VS. Wrecking Crew]]'' which came out the previous year. In both games, the player controls Mario (Player 2 as [[Luigi]]) working on a demolition site. The goal is to break down all [[wall (Wrecking Crew series)|wall]]s on each phase. However, this version is more focused on the puzzle platformer aspect and removed competitive play entirely as there is no simultaneous two-player mode.
'''''Wrecking Crew''''' is one of the first ''[[Mario (franchise)|Mario]]'' [[List of games|games]], originally released in 1985 for the [[Family Computer]] in Japan and later that year for the [[Nintendo Entertainment System]] in North America, eventually making it to Europe in 1987. ''Wrecking Crew'' was released on the [[Wii]]'s, [[Nintendo 3DS]]'s, and [[Wii U]]'s [[Virtual Console]]. It follows the [[VS. System]] version of the game called ''[[VS. Wrecking Crew]]'' which came out the previous year. In both games, the player controls Mario (Player 2 as [[Luigi]]) working on a demolition site. The goal is to break down all [[walls for demolition]] on each phase. However, this version is more focused on the puzzle platformer aspect and removed competitive play entirely as there is no simultaneous two-player mode.
 
Unlike the arcade version, this game also features a DESIGN mode, where players can make their own ''Wrecking Crew'' phases. The game had the ability to save those custom phases. However, the required peripherals (the keyboard and Data Recorder accessories) were released only in Japan, as the peripherals are only available in the [[Family BASIC]] accessory. The games ''[[nwiki:Excitebike|Excitebike]]'' and ''[[nwiki:Mach Rider|Mach Rider]]'' have the same limitations as ''Wrecking Crew''. This functionality was fully utilized in the Virtual Console rereleases of these games as they emulate the peripherals behind-the-scenes. However, this feature is not included in the Nintendo Switch Online version of the game. The [[Family Computer Disk System]] version does not need the peripherals as it could save on the disk.
 
A sequel to ''Wrecking Crew'' was released in 1998, ''[[Wrecking Crew '98]]'', exclusively for the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|Super Famicom]]. ''Wrecking Crew '98'' is competitive, giving each player their own side to clean up, and opportunity to send enemies to the opponent's side.

{{See also|List of Wrecking Crew phases}}
Players can select any of the 100 phases to start on, excluding the [[Bonus Stage (Wrecking Crew series)|bonus stage]]s that come after every fourth phase. Unlike the arcade version, there is vertical scrolling but each phase still takes place in a single wraparound screen.

As the player tries to break all the walls with their [[hammer]], they are attacked by various enemies. Defeating the enemies is not easy, as the regular hammer deals them no damage. If an enemy wanders underneath a [[drum (Wrecking Crew)|drum]], the player can trap it by causing the drum to fall. Sometimes [[Foreman Spike]] appears in the background and smashes walls himself. He can also try to push the player off the platforms, but if they can hit Foreman Spike with their hammer, Foreman Spike will fall down instead.

He can also try to push the player off the platforms, but if they can hit Foreman Spike with their hammer, Foreman Spike will fall down instead.


[[Door (Wrecking Crew series)|Door]]s appear less frequently than in the arcade original. Like the previous game, an enemy sent to the background screen becomes a harmless silhouette. If all enemies in a phase that contains more than one are sent to the background, they will freeze for around eight seconds.

If all enemies in a phase that contains more than one are sent to the background, they will freeze for around eight seconds.


If the player breaks down the walls in a particular order, they may find [[Letter (Wrecking Crew)|letters]] of the name of the character the player is playing. Finding all of these will give the player an [[extra life]]. In any phase with three or more [[bomb|dynamite]], hitting three dynamite in a specific order will reveal a prize. The type of prize is determined by adding the phase number with the number of swings Mario made during the phase then dividing by 8. If the remainder is 0, 3, or 6, a pig statue is revealed which can be smashed for 800 points. If the remainder is 2 or 5, a [[Santa Claus]] statue worth 1600 points with show up. If it is 4 or 7, a {{wp|maneki-neko}} statue worth 3200 points will appear. If the remainder is 1, it will spawn a [[Golden Hammer]], also worth 3200 points. Much more powerful than the regular hammer, the Golden Hammer allows the player to knock down walls much faster, and, if they time it right, they can knock enemies down to the bottom floor.

As well as brick walls, there are also [[pillar (Wrecking Crew)|pillar]]s that can be knocked out, ladder walls that can be used until they are destroyed (Foreman Spike can also destroy these), and dynamite that will damage any bricks lined up with it (as well as knocking whoever is nearby off the platform if they do not move away fast enough).

In the Bonus Stages, the player has to compete against Foreman Spike to find a [[coin]] hidden in a row of walls as the time counts down. 10,000 bonus points are awarded for finding it in the first wall that was smashed.

|"''For 500 Wii points, Wrecking Crew is a surprisingly fun game if you enjoy a good puzzler now and again. The presentation is uninteresting and you may be initially put off by its rigidity, but stick with it and you'll find yourself entertained by its brain-teasing level designs.''"

|"''Puzzle fans should take new notice of Wrecking Crew now, even if they've avoided it before by thinking it's more of an action title. And if they did, it's not surprising – this game hasn't been properly presented in the past. But if gamers who loved Tetris, Bejeweled, Dr. Mario and Puzzle Quest jump on board and give this one a fair amount of downloads, we might also be blessed with its sequel.''"

|"''With so much competition out there, it's often hard to justify paying hard-earned cash for microscopic NES games of yesteryear. Nonetheless Wrecking Crew is an ambitious game, and even in the face of the occasional exhausting aggravation, this puzzle-platformer has a lot to offer. Although it paved the way for better projects to build on its foundation, Wrecking Crew still stands firmly cemented in Nintendo history.''"
