'''Wrenches''' are a type of object usually 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==
Line 9:
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., Indue ''[[Newto Superthe Mariobobbing Bros.in Wiimost [[airship]]'', mostlevels. wrenches are thrown horizontally.
 
This changed in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', where most wrenches are now thrown horizontally and do not change direction.
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 3D Land]]'', it is possible for Mario or Luigi to jump on a wrench without taking damage, which destroys the thrown wrench and makes it drop a [[coin]]. There are also some Rocky Wrenches who also throw [[coin]]scoins and [[Bob-omb]]s instead of wrenches.
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 Maker]]'' and ''[[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 games'the ''[[Super Mario World]]'' and ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]''- style levelsin 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 anymost 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.
 
InSimilar to ''[[Super Mario Run]]3D Land'', similar toin ''[[Super Mario 3D LandRun]]'', some Rocky Wrenches thrown coins instead of wrenches, though the wrenches function similar to how they do in previous games.
 
===''The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3''===
Line 22 ⟶ 24:
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, but they manag to throw the wrenches back at the Doom Sub.
 
In "[[Up, Up, and a Koopa]]," a Rocky Wrench throws severaltwo wrenches at Mario and Luigi for attempting to bribe them out of their cage. Unlike other appearances, these wrenches can return back to the Rocky Wrench, assimilar if they wereto 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 runran 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. The former volume has them throwing wrenches at Mario by the command of [[Larry Koopa]], and the latter volume has Rocky Wrenches throwing wrenches at Mario when [[Boom Boom]] pushes a button to make the Rocky Wrenches come.

===''Paper Mario'' series===
In ''[[Paper Mario: Sticker Star]]'' and ''[[Paper Mario: Color Splash]]'', Rocky Wrenches throw wrenches as a way of attacking Mario onin both the overworld and during battle. They also throw much bigger wrenches which seem to be much heavier, but they do more damage when hitting Mario. In the European version of ''Paper Mario: Sticker Star'', wrenches are referred to as '''spanners'''. ''Paper Mario: Sticker Star'' also features 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: 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 Bros.]]. The sprites for the normal wrenches, as well as the bigger wrenches from the previous two ''Paper Mario'' games are seen in the sprites for Rocky Wrench, but they remain unused due to the standard Rocky Wrenches being friendly NPCs.
 
===''WarioWare Gold''===
In ''[[WarioWare Gold]]''{{'}}s [[Super Mario Bros. 3 (lift microgame)|Super Mario Bros. 3]] [[microgame]], Rocky Wrenches specifically target Mario or Luigi when throwing their wrench., something not seen in any other game.

==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.
