Gameplay of Wrecking Crew
Screenshot of some types of walls for demolition

Walls for demolition[1] or Mashable Walls,[2] also referred to as walls for short, appear in the Super Mario franchise as destructible objects. Walls in this form first appear in VS. Wrecking Crew.

History[edit]

VS. Wrecking Crew / Wrecking Crew[edit]

Walls appear in VS. Wrecking Crew and Wrecking Crew as objects that are required to be destroyed in order to complete the phase. Mario, Luigi, and Foreman Spike are able to break them, as well as dynamite and, exclusively in Wrecking Crew, a single swing from the Golden Hammer. Walls also appear in the bonus stages, where the player has to find the coin hidden behind one of them. If it is behind the first wall to be smashed, 10,000 points will be added to the points in the countdown timer. In 59 stages of Wrecking Crew, destroying specific walls in a certain order will reveal letters of the name of the player's character.

Walls for demolition include:

  • A “Hit once” wall[3] that breaks in one hit
  • A “Hit twice” wall[3] made of bricks that breaks in two hits
  • A “Hit 3 times” wall[3] made of darker bricks that breaks in three hits
  • A ladder wall[3] that breaks in one hit, which can also be climbed. Unlike VS. Wrecking Crew, ladder walls in Wrecking Crew can stack above each other. Breaking the ladder wall at the bottom causes all of the ladder walls above it to break.

Breaking walls grants 100 points, except for ladder walls which grant more points the taller the ladder stack is. This also applies to walls broken with dynamite.

WarioWare series[edit]

Ladder walls appear in WarioWare series as objects in various Wrecking Crew-themed microgames. In the Wrecking Crew microgame in WarioWare: Twisted!, the player has to destroy them with bombs to defeat Eggplant Men. Ladder walls in Wreck. Crew of WarioWare: D.I.Y. Showcase are used by Gotchawrenches. Single-hit walls appear in the Wrecking Crew microgame in WarioWare Gold where the player has to find the coins hidden behind them, similar to the bonus stages.

NES Remix[edit]

Walls appear in NES Remix as objects having to be destroyed in various Wrecking Crew challenges.

Super Smash Bros. series[edit]

Walls for demolition appear in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate as breakable objects on the Wrecking Crew stage. Walls for demolition can only be destroyed by dynamites, and if there are not enough walls to support the platform above, the platform falls.
