'''Wrecking Crew''' is an action game released by [[Nintendo]] for the [[NES]] that stars [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]].

=Gameplay=

In ''Wrecking Crew'', the player controls Mario. Throughout the level, there are various objects that must be destroyed while avoiding enemies. Once all of the objects are destroyed, the player moves to the next level.

The game also featured a Design Mode that allowed players to create four custom levels. However, without the [[Famicom Data Recorder]], they could not be saved. Despite not getting the Data Recorder overseas, the functionality to save custom tracks was added in all versions of the [[Virtual Console]] release.
