Though they are commonly found in airship stages, they appear in several other regular levels in the game and can even be found in [[Warp Pipe]]s. Their appearance is the same as ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'' and they conduct their usual wrench-throwing tactics, but some now either throw [[Bob-omb]]s or even [[coin]]s. Unlike other games, the wrenches they throw can be stomped on harmlessly, destroying them in the process. | ||

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]]. Some Rocky Wrenches throw coins instead of wrenches. Rocky Wrenches come back out of the ground much quicker than they do in most games, almost immediately after they go down. | Rocky Wrenches reappear in ''[[Super Mario Run]]'', appearing only in [[Throwing It All Overboard]] in the main game.

In the ''[[Nintendo Adventure Books]]'', a Rocky Wrench that carries a handbag around competes in the [[International Mushroom Games]] as a member of a team called the [[Sneaks]] in ''[[Leaping Lizards]]''. True to his team's name, he uses underhanded tactics in the events, cutting a hole in [[Roy Koopa]]'s [[magic carpet|flying carpet]] during the obstacle course and throwing ink in his face during the Beetlebowl. Rocky Wrench is also very skilled at most of the sports, winning a majority of them. Rocky Wrench's name also appears in a crossword puzzle (though it is shortened to "Rocky"). The artwork used in said puzzle is reused from ''[[Super Mario Bros. Print World]]''. Rocky Wrench is also called a rodent in this book and the following one. | In the ''[[Nintendo Adventure Books]]'', a Rocky Wrench that carries a handbag around competes in the [[International Mushroom Games]] as a member of a team called the [[Sneaks]] in ''[[Leaping Lizards]]''.

They first make a brief cameo briefly spotting Mario and Toad on the side of the bowl that is carrying the Monster Mixer. Later on, if Mario attempts to use a [[Shell|Koopa Shell]] to hit a [[Super Star|Starman]] [[Block]], he will miss the block and the shell will hit the Rocky Wrench on the head. This causes the Rocky Wrench to get knocked out, making them drop their wrench into the Monster Mixer. The Monster Mixer proceeds to blow up, leading to a [[Game Over]]. | ||

This design along with the rest were scrapped due to being too similar to the [[Koopalings]]. | ||
==General information== | |||
===Physical appearance=== | |||
Rocky Wrenches originally looked like red or tan moles, with either a snout or an overbite, having a pair of goggles (which varied in design depending on the media or game), and a turtle shell (which varied in color depending on the media). Despite being called turtles during this time, Rocky Wrenches looked more like moles, with the only turtle thing about them being the shell on their back (suggesting that they were a hybrid of a mole and turtle). | |||
Some later appearances like their unused appearance in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'' and in ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'' made Rocky Wrenches have some more design similarities to that of [[Monty Mole]]. The former game having the sunglasses and snout of older Monty Mole depictions, and the latter having a similar body type and mouth to the modern design for Monty Mole. | |||
Starting with ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', Rocky Wrench would be redesigned, now without the shell from their older designs and looking nearly identical to Monty Mole besides the lid and goggles. From this game onwards, Rocky Wrench would keep this look (outside of retro appearances and the older styles in the ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'' games). | |||
==Characteristics== | |||
Rocky Wrenches are both engineers, crew members, and guards of the various [[Koopa Troop]] vehicles such as [[airship]]s, [[tank]]s, and [[battleship]]s. Rocky Wrenches help fix these vehicles while keeping away intruders such as [[Mario]] to help protect them. According to their Nintendo Super Secret Card, Rocky Wrenches work extremely hard on their job, with at least 80 hours per week doing work. They also seem to guard other stuff, such as the [[Monster Mixer]] in the ''[[Nintendo Adventure Books|Nintendo Adventure Book]]'' ''[[Monster Mix-Up]]'' and in ''[[The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' episode "[[Up, Up, and a Koopa]]" where they guard the cage that [[Emperor Ed]] (and later Mario and [[Luigi]]) are held in. | |||
Rocky Wrenches usually hide in manholes and throw their namesake wrenches at foes as their main attack, though these wrenches can usually be jumped over. In both ''[[Paper Mario: Sticker Star]]'' and ''[[Paper Mario: Color Splash]]'', Rocky Wrenches can be seen throwing much larger wrenches, which do more damage but are much heavier to throw. Sometimes, Rocky Wrenches can be seen throwing other items such as [[coin]]s and [[Bob-omb]]s (as seen in ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Run]]''). | |||
==Alignment== | |||
Rocky Wrenches are seen as minions of [[Bowser]] like most enemies throughout the series. Rocky Wrenches seem to be the Monty Mole species most loyal to the Koopa Troop, as they are primarily seen on the vehicles of the Koopa Troop or in places filled with Koopa Troop vehicles such as [[Dark Land]] with very few exceptions to where they live (with one of these exceptions being a few levels in ''Super Mario 3D Land''). Rocky Wrenches seem to respect Bowser and his vehicles greatly as they work hard just to make sure they are safe. The only known instance of Rocky Wrenches not working for Bowser are the [[origami Rocky Wrench]]es who were normal Rocky Wrenches brainwashed and folded into origami by [[King Olly]] or other [[Folded Soldiers]] | |||
Like most enemies, Rocky Wrenches have a hatred towards Mario, as he usually is the primary intruder to the vehicles that Rocky Wrenches protect. In the writers Bible for ''[[The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', Rocky Wrenches also seem to have a hatred towards plumbers in general, as it implies that they also attempt to ambush other plumbers as well from their manholes. Despite this, on a few occasions Rocky Wrenches seem to sometimes be allies towards Mario such as in ''[[Super Mario Bros. & Friends: When I Grow Up]]'' when a Rocky Wrench attempts to fix the Mario Bros. tires on their car, or in ''Paper Mario: The Origami King'', where normal Rocky Wrenches are friendly NPCs (with one even making collectible treasures of the [[Legion of Stationery]] each time Mario defeats one of the members). | |||
