In the Super Mario Wiki, Rocky Wrench is listed as being a species of [[Koopa (species)|Koopa]]. Although in various early sources for Rocky Wrench called them a turtle, Rocky Wrenches were never called a Koopa. Some people say the Japanese ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' instruction booklet claimed that Rocky Wrench was a part of the Koopa species. However, it only said that Rocky Wrench was from the "Turtle Tribe" (which is likely just another name for the [[Koopa Troop]]). <ref name="Poo">「モグラようなカメ{{hover|族|ぞく}}。{{hover|穴|あな}}からニョキッと{{hover|出|で}}てきてスパナを{{hover|投|な}}げてくる。{{hover|飛行船|ひこうせん}}の{{hover|乗組員|のりくみいん}}だ。」 ("''Mole-like members of the [[Koopa Troop|Turtle Tribe]].

Some believe that the name "Turtle Tribe" is merely the Japanese name for the "[[Koopa Troop]]" ([[Bowser]]'s Army) however factually, "Turtle Tribe" is actually the original name for the "Koopa Troop". In the Instruction Booklets for both ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' Bowser's Army is referred to as the Turtle Tribe<ref>Super Mario Bros. Instruction Booklet (English) - "The Princess as well as her Mushroom Retainers are being held in one of the Castles by the Turtle Tribe."</ref><ref>Super Mario Bros. 3 Instruction Booklet (English) - "A host of new characters have joined Bowser and his Turtle Tribe. With this information on these new enemies, you'll be well prepared."</ref> however later games have listed the army under different names (with the most common being the Koopa Troop). Some people also incorrectly believe that the Turtle Tribe is referring to the [[Koopa (species)|Koopa]] species (despite it being a name for the Koopa Troop). This misconception lead to the Super Mario Wiki incorrectly saying that [[Rocky Wrench]] is a part of the Koopa species due to the Japanese ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' instruction booklet saying they were a part of the KoopaTurtle TroopTribe.<ref name="Poo"> However the instruction booklet was referring to the Koopa Troop (due to the Turtle Tribe being a name for the Koopa Troop) and not the Koopa species.
