Wii]]'' onward they lack shells (with the exception of the "classic" styles of ''[[Super Mario Maker]]''), which has resulted in them resembling [[Monty Mole]]s.

Rocky Wrenches reappear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'' on the [[Airship]] of [[World 6 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 6]]. Their behavior is largely unchanged from their first appearance. Aside from being susceptible to stomps, they can also be frozen by [[Ice Mario]] and will be defeated permanently when attacked. In this game and most following it, Rocky Wrench shares a nearly identical model to [[Monty Mole]], but with added goggles.
