The game takes on a more competitive approach, featuring puzzle elements akin to games such as ''Tetris'' and ''Puyo Puyo'', such as being able to rain down [[panel (Wrecking Crew '98)|panels]] on the opponent's side and chain reactions. The game also includes a direct port of the NES version. The game was never released outside of Japan due to Nintendo's international divisions ending the sale of SNES games the previous year in 1997. The game would later be released in Japan for the [[Wii U]]'s [[Virtual Console#Wii U|Virtual Console]] on September 28, 2016. | ||

Players must eliminate their [[panel (Wrecking Crew '98)|panels]] by either demolishing them with the hammer or arranging three or more colored panels in a vertical or horizontal fashion. They can arrange their panel accordingly by using the [[Handle (Wrecking Crew '98)|handles]] located on the corner. As time passes on, brick blocks will fall in. The longer a match goes, the shorter the amount of time between blocks falling gets. If four or more panels are arranged, then an obstacle or trap will be sent to the opponent's side, depending on the panels' color. If more than one set of panels are eliminated in a row, then the attacks to the other side will grow stronger. Players can also summon additional rows of panels on their side when needed. When the field is clear of panels, metal plates and enemies, the message "Nice!" will appear and a Mushroom is received. The Mushroom acts as an Attack Multiplier, increasing the strength of the next combo toward the enemy. | Players must eliminate their [[panel (Wrecking Crew '98)|panels]] by either demolishing them with the hammer or arranging three or more colored panels in a vertical or horizontal fashion.

The opponent can be defeated only when the number of panels in a column exceeds the line atop the screen. If the panels are not eliminated within 3 seconds, then the opponent will lose and the player will be declared the winner. However, a draw can occur if both players exceed the line at the same time and fail to lower their panel field in 3 seconds. | The opponent can be defeated only when the number of panels in a column exceeds the line atop the screen.

The enemies are themed around construction, such as forklifts and workers, and are summoned to provide assistance by crowding the opponent's playing field and obstructing their ability to move around freely without running into them. They disappear when they reach the [[Warp Pipe]] in the center-bottom of the screen and the player who receives them can get rid of them faster by jumping on them. The speed and number of enemies summoned depends on the size of the combos and the number of chains that are performed with Red Panels. | The enemies are themed around construction, such as forklifts and workers, and are summoned to provide assistance by crowding the opponent's playing field and obstructing their ability to move around freely without running into them.
