Wrecking Crew (レッキングクルー, Wrecking Crew) is a stage in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U based on the NES title of the same name. Despite originating from the Mario universe, this stage is classified as belonging to its own Wrecking Crew universe.

Unlike many stages based off retro games, its design has been given a 3D overhaul like Icicle Mountain and Skyworld, rather than trying to imitate NES graphics.

Overview

Wrecking Crew is very large vertically, giving characters who can survive vertical hits a large advantage. The stage has a main platform that is solid and continues to the lower blast line, with up to 4 rows of drop-through platforms above it. Climbable ladders exist on various parts of the stage. Occasionally, bombs the size of most characters will appear, more often than not next to brown barrels. When a bomb explodes, characters near the explosion take damage, and any nearby barrels will explode in tandem. When a barrel is destroyed, the row it was on vanishes, and the platforms above the row all move down. As separate rows of platforms get destroyed, new ones fall in, from the top of the screen. As in the original Wrecking Crew, players can get trapped under barrels, preventing them from moving for a while.

Origin

Wrecking Crew gameplay

Wrecking Crew is a NES game starring Mario (with Luigi as the second player). The objective of the game is to use Mario's hammer to destroy all the stone walls in the background of each level while avoiding enemies. Some of these walls have ladders on them for Mario to use. Bombs can be struck to cause a chain reaction and destroy many walls at once; hitting bombs in the right order can cause a Golden Hammer to appear. Mario cannot jump in this game and cannot defeat enemies normally, but can trap them by causing barrels to fall on them.
