 Normal Rocky Wrenches reappear in ''[[Paper Mario: The Origami King]]'' as NPCs. One Rocky Wrench appears in [[Toad Town]] in a port behind the red warehouse which sells Mario the [[Legion of Stationery]] collectible treasures. Another Rocky Wrench NPC is found on [[Picnic Road]], outside the [[Sensor Lab]] talking about how strange the [[Toad Researcher]] is. To interact with them, Mario must hammer their lid. If Mario hammers the lid while standing on top of it, the Rocky Wrench will look around briefly before going back underground.
-Origami variants of Rocky Wrenches appear as enemies exclusively in the [[Spring of Rainbows]]. In the overworld, they pop up and throw wrenches at Mario that can be jumped over or destroyed with his hammer. In battle, they have three main attacks. They can use "Pass Belt" in which the group of Rocky Wrenches hide in their manholes to pop up under Mario and fling him in the air one by one, dealing damage each time they launch him. They also use "Wrench Throw", which has them throw a wrench. They can also use "Spanner Throw", in which they throw a gold-colored wrench in an arch (similar to [[Hammer Bro]]s.).
+Rocky Wrenches also have [[Origami Rocky Wrenches|origami variants]] that appear as enemies in the [[Springs of Rainbows]].
-In one of the pieces of concept art showing the origami Rocky Wrench's mechanics, it is revealed that they have no legs, with the body seemingly being able to be slipped in and out of their holes.

 Sprites found in development materials of ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'' include sprites for Rocky Wrench as well as potential vehicles, but they were again removed. Their head shape and face shading is reminiscent of Monty Moles' in ''Super Mario World'', though they are still taller and lack some of the white patches. Only their wrench and possible lower body exist within [[List of Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island beta elements|unused graphics]] in the final release. [[Snifit]]s were alternately considered to utilize the vehicles designed for Rocky Wrenches.
+In concept art for ''[[Paper Mario]]'' (back when it was referred to as ''Super Mario RPG 2'' in development), Rocky Wrenches would have had appeared as an enemy. However, Rocky Wrenches were completely absent in the final version of the game.
+{{media link|SMO Concept Art Broodals (Koopa Troop).png|One piece of concept artwork}} for the [[Broodals]] from ''[[The Art of Super Mario Odyssey]]'' labeled "Powered-Up Regular Enemy Designs" depicts [[Rango]] as a Rocky Wrench based on their original design rather than the contemporary one, having the shell, taller orange body, white-rimmed sunglasses, round snout, and sharp teeth. This design along with the rest were scrapped due to being too similar to the [[Koopalings]].
