'''Rocky Wrenches''' are enemies employed as crewmen on the [[Koopa Troop]]'s vehicles.<ref name="Poo">「モグラようなカメ{{ruby|族|ぞく}}。{{ruby|穴|あな}}からニョキッと{{ruby|出|で}}てきてスパナを{{ruby|投|な}}げてくる。{{ruby|飛行船|ひこうせん}}の{{ruby|乗組員|のりくみいん}}だ。」 ("''Mole-like members of the [[Koopa (species)|Turtle Tribe]].

Wii]]'' onward, they lack shells (with the exception of the game styles in the ''[[Super Mario Maker (disambiguation)|Super Mario Maker]]'' series based on older games), which, along with other changes in design, has resulted in them resembling [[Monty Mole]]s - themselves originally inspired by Rocky Wrenches. Their original description has not been applied to the redesign, and they have since been called moles instead of mole-like on at least one occasion.<ref>"''These crafty moles show themselves just long enough to throw a wrench at you before dropping back out of sight.''" von Esmarch, Nick.
