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). | Starting with ''[[New Super Mario Bros.

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 are both engineers, crew members, and guards of the various [[Koopa Troop]] vehicles such as [[airship]]s, [[tank]]s, and [[battleship]]s.

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]]''). | 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.

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]] | Rocky Wrenches are seen as minions of [[Bowser]] like most enemies throughout the series.
