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. |
