They are large, indestructible boulders that bound around unceasingly. They can be used as convenient platforms to get across long stretches of [[Spike Trap|spikes]] or to reach high areas out of reach, mostly in [[World 3-1 (Super Mario Land)|World 3-1]]. [[Hiyoihoi]] also uses Ganchans as projectile weapons in [[World 3-3 (Super Mario Land)|World 3-3]]. Although Ganchans appear as generic boulders, they are living beings.
'''Ganchan'''<ref>''Super Mario Land'' English instruction booklet, page 15.</ref><ref>M. Arakawa. Nintendo ''Game Boy'' Player's Guide. Page 5.</ref> are rock-like enemies from ''[[Super Mario Land]]'' that are found in the mountainous and spike-filled areas of the [[Easton Kingdom]] of [[Sarasaland]]. They are large, indestructible boulders that bound around unceasingly. They can be used as convenient platforms to get across long stretches of spikes or to reach high areas out of reach, mostly in [[World 3-1 (Super Mario Land)|World 3-1]]. [[Hiyoihoi]] also uses Ganchan as projectile weapons in [[World 3-3 (Super Mario Land)|World 3-3]]. Although Ganchan appear as generic boulders, they are living beings.
 
Ganchans are depicted as both sentient and non-sentient rocks in the [[Super Mario Land (manga)|''Super Mario Land'' manga]]: the sentient Ganchans that let [[Mario]] cross the spikes, after [[Mekakuribō]] stretches his face to resemble one of a moai, tricking them into helping them cross; and the non-senient ones that acts as boulders tossed by Hiyoihoi.
 
In ''[[Super Mario-kun]]'', faceless Ganchans appear in [[Super Mario-kun Volume 3|volume 3]] being tossed by Hiyoihoi. Mario uses [[Yoshi]] as a shield, making him eat the boulders, then tosses him like a bowling ball at the moai, striking them down.
