Wrecking Crew is a home variation of VS. Wrecking Crew, being more puzzle-oriented and based around single-player gameplay. Unlike in the previous game, the hammer-wielding CPU-controlled opponent is the brothers' cantankerous boss, Foreman Spike. This is the first Mario game to feature scrolling, albeit vertical scrolling.

Wrecking Crew '98 is a Japan-only sequel for the Super Famicom, being both competitive and puzzle-based. Two players destroy and match panels to clear out their playing field, with some panels causing effects to hinder the opponent. The game contains a story mode where Mario destroys Bowser's high-rises set up throughout the Mushroom Kingdom.
