Eggplant Man debuted as an enemy in the NES game Wrecking Crew. Even though his movement pattern was very simple, he was a fairly formidable foe, since Mario and Luigi had limited means of attack. You could beat this enemy by dropping a Dead-End Drum on him or by trapping him behind a door and blowing up the room. Available in the Lottery

Super Smash Bros.4Arrow L Wrecking Crew

Super Smash Bros. Brawl features an actual item from Wrecking Crew, coming with its trophy and its own music. These are:

Golden Hammer

SSBB Golden Hammer

An item that in the original Wrecking Crew was a very rare, but more powerful version of the regular hammer. Here it's role is the same, being a rare and much more powerful version of the Hammer, but due to the regular Hammer being based on Donkey Kong, also the Golden Hammer in this game works like the hammers from Donkey Kong. While using the Golden Hammer characters are also able to float in the air for a short period.

Sometimes the Golden Hammer will be the undistinguishable Squeaky Golden Hammer, a totally harmless version of it, much like the Headless Hammer is to the Hammer, but even the squeaky version grants the floating ability.

Trophy

The only Wrecking Crew Trophy is the Golden Hammer trophy, and it's listed in the items section.

507 Golden Hammer SSBB Trophy 507 Golden Hammer NES Wrecking Crew A hammer that glows with golden light. It's easier to swing than a normal hammer, and more powerful too. If you tilt the Control Stick and press the attack button repeatedly, you float in midair. It's a very powerful item, but one that rarely appears. There's also a Golden Squeaky Hammer that does absolutely no damage at all. It's what you would call a fake. Get 15,000 m/45,000 ft in total (summing all fighters' records) in Home-Run Contest
