====Super Mario series====
=====''Super Mario World''=====
[[File:Beta Super Mario World Rocky Wrench.png|thumb|left]]
Sprites found in development materials of ''[[Super Mario World]]'' include sprites for Rocky Wrench meant for the [[Sunken Ghost Ship]], suggesting that they would have appeared as enemies in said level. These sprites heavily resemble Rocky Wrench's ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' sprites, though they have a separate color scheme compared to that game. Rocky Wrenches were eventually scrapped for unknown reasons. Additionally, the ''Super Mario World'' style in ''Super Mario Maker'' also uses original sprites instead of the unused Rocky Wrench sprites from ''Super Mario World''.

=====''Super Mario Odyssey''=====
[[File:SMO Concept Art Broodals (Koopa Troop).png|thumb|300px|The scrapped Powered-Up Regular Enemy bosses planned for ''Super Mario Odyssey'']]
{{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 a [[Powered-Up Rocky Wrench]] boss based on their original design rather than the modern one, having the shell, taller orange body, white-rimmed sunglasses, round snout, and sharp teeth as the classic depictions of Rocky Wrench. This design along with the rest were scrapped due to being too similar to the [[Koopalings]], with the Rocky Wrench later being replaced with [[Rango]]. However, the book states that this design along with the other Powered-Up enemies have a chance to return in a future game someday.

Sprites found in development materials of ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'' include sprites and animations for Rocky Wrench as well as potential log vehicles, but they were again removed. Their head shape and sunglasses is reminiscent of Monty Moles' designs for ''Super Mario World'', though they are still taller and lack some of the white patches. Uniquely, Rocky Wrenches also seem to have originally been planned to walk inside logs, as well as riding log cars similar to the Flintmobile from {{wp|The Flintstones}} (though they were still going to keep their wrench throwing tactics as well). 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 also alternately considered to utilize the vehicles designed for Rocky Wrenches, though this was later scrapped.

====''Paper Mario'' / ''Super Mario RPG 2''====
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.
