Wall (Wrecking Crew series)
Walls for demolition[1] or mashable walls[2] are objects in VS. Wrecking Crew and Wrecking Crew 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. They also appear in the bonus stages, where the player has to find the coin hidden behind one of them to earn 10,000 points.
Walls
Walls for demolition include:
- A wall that breaks in one hit
- A brick wall that breaks in two hits
- A darker brick wall that breaks in three hits
- A ladder wall that breaks in one hit, which can also be climbed. Breaking the ladder wall at the bottom causes all of the ladder walls above it to break.
- A pillar that is not required to be destroyed, which causes the object it was supporting to fall. This is not found in the VS. arcade version.
The Golden Hammer can smash any wall with a single swing. 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. Pillars grant no points.
Appearances in other games
In the WarioWare series, ladder walls appear in the Wrecking Crew microgame in WarioWare: Twisted! where the player has to destroy them with bombs to defeat Eggplant Men, while 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.
Walls for demolition also appear in the Wrecking Crew stage in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. They are only broken by dynamites, and if there are not enough walls to support the platform above, the platform falls.
