(It's obvious that Montys take massive inspiration from Rocky Wrenches to the point that's it's obvious they are based off of them.)

Rocky Wrenches reappear in ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS]]'', using new sprites for ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' and ''[[Super Mario World]]''-styled courses, the former of which removes their goggles. If they are winged, they hop out of their manhole cover before throwing their wrenches, making their lower bodies more visible. This also occurs if they are enlarged, but they temporarily revert to their original size in order to hide. On certain platforms such as [[Semisolid Platform]]s, [[Donut Block]]s, and [[Cloud Block]]s, Rocky Wrenches fall through them when they attempt to hide in them. Rocky Wrenches retain their shells in the ''Super Mario Bros.'', ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', and ''Super Mario World'' styles, but not in ''New Super Mario Bros. U'' style. In addition, their existing appearances have been slightly revised; they have a less plain palette and appear to lack tails in the ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' style, and now have stubbier limbs and a slimmer, shorter body shape compared to a Monty Mole in the ''New Super Mario Bros. U'' style. In Course Maker, shaking them will change the slot to a Monty Mole and vice versa.
