History

Super Mario series

Like Rocky Wrenches, the wrenches primarily appear within the 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 coins and Bob-ombs.

In Super Mario Maker and Super Mario Maker 2, wrenches are also thrown by Winged Rocky Wrenches. 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 volume 30 and volume 45 of Super Mario-kun, wrenches are used as an attack by Rocky Wrenches.
