The eighth set of NES game challenges, unlocked after obtaining 130 Stars at challenges. It features 11 stages:

Stage 1: Divided in 3 sections, set in three different custom maps from Wrecking Crew, the objective is to destroy all walls in each one of them. The first section only features walls, with four of them on top of a pillar. The second section also features bombs, again with some walls and a bomb on top of pillars. The third section features walls, bombs and there also is a barrel blocking the bottom floor; Mario starts on the right side of the floor, so an arrow points to the right indicating that the player can go that direction to reappear on the left side. Time limit: 200s overall.

Stage 2: Divided in 4 sections, set in three different custom maps from Wrecking Crew, the objective in each one of them is to make all enemies go through the door in it, initially highlighted by a circle. The first section only features a door and a Gotcha Wrench. The second section features two Gotcha Wrenches and a door on the second floor. The third section features two barrels with an Eggplant Man and a door between, and a bomb outside for Mario to use to open the door from a distance. The fourth section features a Gotcha Wrench and a door on the first floor as well as the second floor, and also a bomb on a separate third floor.

Stage 3: Divided in 5 sections, all set in Phase 1 from Wrecking Crew, the objective in each one is to find a letter to form the name "MARIO" within the wall initially highlighted by a circle. Time limit: 20s for each section.

The first section features various walls on the third floor, including some on top of pillars, and bombs to break them; on the bottom floor there are six Eggplant Men, but the two floors are not connected, so the player can only fall from the top floor to the bottom one. The second section features some walls on the third floors with a bomb and two Eggplant Men and a wall on the second floor; again the floors are not connected, so the player can only fall from the top one to the bottom one.

The first section only features a Gotcha Wrench and a barrel on top of a pillar.

The third section features six barrels on top of pillars with three of them on the second floor and three of them on the bottom floor near a bomb, and there are three Gotcha Wrenches, one one starting on the second floor and two on an upper floor; again the floors are not connected, so Mario and the enemies can only fall from the upper ones to the bottom one.
