Before Mario had cemented his occupation or abilities, Mario and Luigi would have numerous jobs from game to game. In the ''Wrecking Crew'' sub-series, their role is that of demolition workers. ''{{b|Wrecking Crew|game}}'' was initially released in arcades as part of the {{s|nintendowiki|Nintendo Vs. System}} line in 1984 before being ported to the Famicom and NES in 1985. In this game Mario (and Luigi in Co-op) could not jump, so he had to approach levels methodically, demolishing them in the right order all while avoiding enemies like sentient wrenches and Foreman Spike. It is notable for being one of the first games with a custom level editor. This game has been re-released several times, including an updated version on Famicom Disk System, a port for Game Boy Advance as part of the Famicom mini collection, and on Virtual Console.

An official sequel was released exclusively in Japan in 1998 on Super Famicom titled ''{{s|mariowiki|Wrecking Crew '98}}''. Initially released as a downloadable only title as part of the Nintendo Power download game service, it was released on a standard cartridge later that year. While gameplay is largely similar to the original, updates include new features like story mode, versus mode and tournament mode. The game was released in North America for the first time on Nintendo Switch Online in April 2024.
