==History==
===''Super Mario'' series===
[[File:Rocky Wrench in 5-4.jpg|300px|thumb|left|325px|A Rocky Wrench throwing a wrench in [[World 5-4 (Super Mario 3D Land)|World 5-4]] from ''Super Mario 3D Land'']]
Like Rocky Wrenches, the wrenches primarily appear within the [[Super Mario (series)|''Super Mario'' series]]. Here, Rocky Wrenches generally attack by poking their head out to throw a wrench before retreating back into their hole. In most installments, [[Mario]], [[Luigi]] or another character take damage upon touching a wrench.
 
Line 22:
In ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'' its [[Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS|3DS port]], and its sequel, ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]'', wrenches are also thrown by [[Winged Rocky Wrench]]es and [[big Rocky Wrench]]es. The former hovers a bit before throwing their wrench while the latter throws a bigger wrench. [[Big winged Rocky Wrench]]es combine the two behaviors. In both the ''[[Super Mario World]]'' and ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'' style in either game, Yoshi can use his tongue to eat a wrench thrown by a Rocky Wrench or its variants and spit it back out. If the Rocky Wrench or most other enemies get hit by the wrench, they get defeated. In version 1.40 of ''Super Mario Maker'', wrenches were given a red part in the middle to improve their design.
 
Similar to ''Super Mario 3D Land'', in ''[[Super Mario Run]]'', some Rocky Wrenches thrownthrow coins instead of wrenches, though the wrenches themselves function the same to how they do in previous games.
 
===''The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3''===
[[File:Mush-Rumors Rocky Wrench throwing wrench.png|thumb|left|250px300px|A Rocky Wrench throwing a wrench in "Mush-Rumors"]]
In ''[[The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', wrenches are used as a weapon by Rocky Wrenches in the few episodes that they appear in.

In "[[The Ugly Mermaid]]," Rocky Wrenches attempt to attack Mario and his friends from the [[Doom Sub]] by throwing wrenches at them, but they manage to throw the wrenches back at the Doom Sub, causing it to briefly spin out.
 
In "[[Up, Up, and a Koopa]]," a Rocky Wrench throws two wrenches at Mario and Luigi for attempting to bribe them out of their cage. Unlike other appearances, these wrenches return back to the Rocky Wrench, similar to a boomerang.

[[File:Rocky Wrenches throwing wrenches in Super Mario-kun.png|thumb|300px325px|left|Several Rocky Wrenches throwing wrenches at Mario under the command of Larry Koopa in volume 30 of ''Super Mario-kun'']]
In both [[Super Mario-kun Volume 30|volume 30]] and [[Super Mario-kun 45|volume 45]] of ''[[Super Mario-kun]]'', wrenches are used as an attack by Rocky Wrenches.
 
The former volume has several Rocky Wrenches throwing wrenches at Mario by the command of [[Larry Koopa]], and the latter volume has several Rocky Wrenches throwingthrow wrenches at Mario when [[Boom Boom]] pushes a button to call the Rocky Wrenches to attack.

===''Paper Mario'' series===
[[File:JrsFlotilla1.png|thumb|left|300px|Several Rocky Wrenches throwing wrenches at Mario in ''Paper Mario: Sticker Star'']]
In ''[[Paper Mario: Sticker Star]]'' and ''[[Paper Mario: Color Splash]]'', Rocky Wrenches throw wrenches as a way of attacking Mario in both the overworld and during battle. They also throw much bigger wrenches which heavier than the standerd wrenches, but these wrenches do more damage when hitting Mario. In ''Paper Mario: Sticker Star'', there is a [[wrench sticker]], which is sometimes dropped by Rocky Wrenches and can be used by Mario to throw a wrench at enemies. In ''Paper Mario: Color Splash'', the Rocky Wrench [[Battle Card]] allows Mario to summon a Rocky Wrench which can throw a singular wrench at an enemy until the Rocky Wrench either gets defeated or if the battle ends.
 
In ''[[Paper Mario: The Origami King]]'', [[origami Rocky Wrench]]es throw wrenches and gold colored [[spanner (Paper Mario: The Origami King)|spanner]]s at Mario both in the overworld and in-battle. Although the standard wrenches are thrown how normal Rocky Wrenches throw them, the spanners are thrown in an arch similar to the hammers thrown by [[Hammer Bro]]s. The sprites for the normal wrenches, as well as the bigger wrenches from the previous two ''Paper Mario'' games (specifically ''Paper Mario: Color Splash'') are seen in the sprites for Rocky Wrench, but they remain unused due to the standard Rocky Wrenches being friendly NPCs.

==Trivia==
*In ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'', there is a separate mole enemy unrelated to Rocky Wrench named [[Monty]] who also throws wrenches. However, these wrenches are likely different to the ones thrown by Rocky Wrenches, due to Monty being a part of a separate [[Undergrunt|mole]] species.
*Despite Rocky Wrenches appearing in the ''[[Mario Kart]]'' series, it is one of the few games to not feature them throwing their namesake wrenches.
*In the original ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', due to the Nintendo Entertainment System's palette limitations, the wrenches are red while held by a Rocky Wrench but turn cyan when thrown.
