The Wrecking Crew universe (レッキングクルー, Wrecking Crew) refers to the Super Smash Bros. series' collection of stages and properties that hail from the NES title, Wrecking Crew. It is a sub-universe of the Mario series, and has no characters that hail from it, making it the only Mario sub universe with this distinction.

Franchise description

In this game Mario could not jump, so he had to approach levels methodically, demolishing them in the right order all while avoiding enemies.
