On the television series ''[[The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', Rocky Wrenches appear in several episodes, most commonly as the guards of Bowser and the [[Koopalings]]' [[Airship#The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3|Doom Ship]], although they are also shown to work on [[tank]]s and the [[Doom Sub]] as well.

In the television series ''[[The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', Rocky Wrenches appear in several episodes, most commonly as the guards of Bowser and the [[Koopalings]]' [[Doom Ship]], although they are also shown to work on [[tank]]s and the [[Doom Sub]] as well. Rocky Wrenches have a similar role to that of  in the show are depicted with a more mole-like body, green shells, and blue sunglasses.  


They first appear in the episode "[[Princess Toadstool for President]]." When Mario and Luigi enter [[Dark Land]], they are ambushed by two Rocky Wrenches driving tanks, with one Rocky Wrench attempting to throw a wrench at them before Mario and Luigi escape through a pipe.  
Rocky Wrenches make their first appearance in the show as minor enemies in the episode "[[Princess Toadstool for President]]." When Mario and Luigi enter [[Dark Land]], the two plumbers are quickly ambushed by two Rocky Wrenches driving tanks. One Rocky Wrench attempts to throw a wrench at Mario and Luigi, but the two plumbers manage to swiftly escape just in-time via a [[pipe]].


They make a brief cameo in "[[Mush-Rumors]]" where they throw wrenches at the real-world family.
Rocky Wrenches make a brief cameo in the episode "[[Mush-Rumors]]," where they are commanded to throw wrenches at the real-world family after [[Bowser|King Koopa]] mistakenly thinks that they are aliens. However, the wrenches that the Rocky Wrenches throw do not hit the Family and instead fall into the river.


In "[[The Ugly Mermaid]]," [[Bowser|King Koopa]] calls some Rocky Wrenches to attack Mario and his friends when they are approaching the Doom Sub, but Mario then throws the wrenches back at the Doom Sub, making it spin out.  
In the episode "[[The Ugly Mermaid]]," King Koopa calls some Rocky Wrenches to help attack Mario and his friends when they were approaching the Doom Sub. However, Mario would then throw the wrenches back at the Doom Sub, making it spin out. This episode also implies that Rocky Wrenches can breathe underwater (or hold their breath for a very long time), as the Rocky Wrenches had no problems being underwater as they threw their wrenches at Mario and his friends.


Finally, a Rocky Wrench (referred to as Mr. Rocky Wrench by [[Toad]]) has a somewhat major role in "[[Up, Up, and a Koopa]]" in which he guards the cage [[Emperor Ed]] is in, growling at him when he attempts to threaten King Koopa. Later, when Mario and Luigi get trapped in the cage, they attempt to bribe Rocky Wrench with a [[Fudjie]] chocolate bar, which makes the Rocky Wrench growl at them. When Luigi asks to borrow the wrenches, the Rocky Wrench throws them at Mario and Luigi (with the wrenches coming back to him like boomerangs, which never happens in the actual ''Super Mario Bros. 3''), with Mario then saying that he will not invite Rocky Wrench to his next plumbing job. Later on, Toad arrives with a giant magnet that he throws onto the ceiling, causing the Rocky Wrench to stick to it due to its wrenches (it shouts "Whoa!" in the process, which is the only time they vocalize in the episode outside of growls).
Finally, a Rocky Wrench (referred to as '''Mr. Rocky Wrench''' by [[Toad]]) has a somewhat major role in the episode "[[Up, Up, and a Koopa]]," in-which the Rocky Wrench guards the cage [[Emperor Ed]] is in. The Rocky Wrench would also growl at Emperor Ed when he attempted to threaten King Koopa. Later, when Mario and Luigi get trapped in the cage as well, Mario attempts to bribe the Rocky Wrench with a [[Fudjie]] chocolate bar, which makes the Rocky Wrench growl at the plumber. When Luigi asks to borrow the Rocky Wrench's wrenches, the now angry Rocky Wrench threatens Mario and Luigi by throwing his wrenches at the two plumbers (with the wrenches coming back to the Rocky Wrench like boomerangs, which is something that never happens in the actual ''Super Mario Bros. 3''). Angry at what the Rocky Wrench did, Mario then claims that he will not invite Rocky Wrench to his next plumbing job. Later in the episode, Toad arrives with a giant magnet that he uses to defeat the Rocky Wrench by throwing the magnet onto the ceiling. This causes the Rocky Wrench's wrenches that he was holding to be pulled up onto the ceiling and causing the Rocky Wrench to be stuck on the ceiling (allowing Toad to rescue the Mario Bros. and Emperor Ed in the process).


They also are referenced in the writer's bible from the DVD releases, being called sneaky turtles with severe overbite that hide in manholes to ambush unsuspecting plumbers. Several pieces of concept art can be seen, first being a Rocky Wrench in an airship similar to that of the [[World 8-Airship (Super Mario Bros. 3)|World 8-Airship]] level despite not appearing in any episodes, second showing full-body artwork, and finally showing artwork of the Rocky Wrench tank mainly seen in Princess Toadstool for President.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DXha79EO_aU</ref>
