 [[File:Air Assault.jpg|thumb|The official artwork for an airship in ''Super Mario Bros. 3''. Note that Roy Koopa is acting like a Rocky Wrench.]]
 *In official artwork for an airship in ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', [[Roy Koopa]] hides in a trench and throws wrenches in a manner very similar to Rocky Wrenches.
-*In early ''[[Nintendo Power]]'' volumes, Rocky Wrench is likened to ninjas,<ref>''Nintendo Power'' Volume 11, page 14. "''Watch out for Rocky Wrench and the Ninja Gophers!''"</ref> with one reference alluding to ''{{wp|Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles}}''.<ref>''Nintendo Power'' Volume 13, page 24. "'''''Rocky Wrench, Ninja Turtle''' He’s not a mutant or a teenager, but Rocky is a turtle and he does throw ninja throwing wrenches! He’s also a major nuisance in World 8.''"</ref>
+*In some early ''[[Nintendo Power]]'' volumes, Rocky Wrenches are confirmed to be ninjas,<ref>''Nintendo Power'' Volume 11, page 14. "''Watch out for Rocky Wrench and the Ninja Gophers!''"</ref> with one reference comparing them to the ''{{wp|Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles}}''.<ref>''Nintendo Power'' Volume 13, page 24. "'''''Rocky Wrench, Ninja Turtle''' He’s not a mutant or a teenager, but Rocky is a turtle and he does throw ninja throwing wrenches! He’s also a major nuisance in World 8.''"</ref> However, later pieces of media (including the stuff ''Nintendo Power'' made later on) would never bring up Rocky Wrenches being ninjas, and instead, they would focus on Rocky Wrenches being engineers.
 *A [[Sammer Guy]] by the name of [[List of Sammer Guys#Spanner of Rock|Spanner of Rock]] appears in ''[[Super Paper Mario]]''; his name and speeches including references to Rocky Wrenches.
 *An image in the files for the official Nintendo of America website shows a picture of Rocky Wrench's ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'' artwork that is called "Morty Wrench".<ref>https://twitter.com/mariobrothblog/status/1270816053636083715</ref> This could have likely been a typo, however, it could have also hinted at an unused or unseen enlarged variant of Rocky Wrench which would have likely had connections to [[Morty Mole]]s from ''Super Mario 3D Land''.
