About This Game
Released as one of the early NES titles, Wrecking Crew showcased Nintendo's creativity in game design beyond platformers.
The game introduced Mario in a non-platforming role before he became exclusively associated with the Super Mario series.
Wrecking Crew was one of the first console games to include a level editor, allowing players to design their own stages.
Despite its simple concept, the game's strategic demolition gameplay and enemy patterns provided surprising depth.
