'''Wrenches''' are a type of object thrown by [[Rocky Wrench]]es in the [[Mario (franchise)|''Mario'' franchise]]. They are similar to the wrenches in the real world. Wrenches first appear in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' along with Rocky Wrenches themselves. Wrenches appear in most media that feature Rocky Wrenches.

==History==

===''Super Mario'' series===

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.

In ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', wrenches are thrown at either a horizontal, upper diagonal, or lower diagonal direction. In ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', most wrenches are thrown horizontally.

In ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'', it is possible for Mario or Luigi to jump on a wrench without taking damage. There are some Rocky Wrenches who also throw [[coin]]s and [[Bob-omb]]s.

In ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]'', wrenches are also thrown by [[Winged Rocky Wrench]]es. In both games' ''[[Super Mario World]]'' and ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]''-style levels, 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 any other enemies get hit by the wrench, they get defeated.

In ''[[Super Mario Run]]'', similar to ''Super Mario 3D Land'', some Rocky Wrenches thrown coins instead of wrenches.

===''The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3''===

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 "[[Mush-Rumors]]," there is a scene where Rocky Wrenches try to attack the [[Kansas]] family by throwing wrenches at them.

In "[[The Ugly Mermaid]]," Rocky Wrenches attempt to attack Mario and his friends from the [[Doom Sub]] by throwing wrenches at them.

In "[[Up, Up, and a Koopa]]," a Rocky Wrench throws several wrenches. Unlike other appearances, these wrenches can return to Rocky Wrench as if they were a boomerang.

===''Super Mario 4koma Manga Theater''===

In volume 2 of ''[[Super Mario 4koma Manga Theater]]'', Rocky Wrenches resort to throwing random objects at Luigi after they run out of wrenches.

===''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.
