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.

| | |
| Ganchans are depicted as both sentient and non-sentient rocks in the [[Super Mario Land (manga)|''Super Mario Land'' manga]]: the sentient Ganchans let [[Mario]] cross the spikes, after [[Mecha Kuribō (character)|Mecha Kuribō]] stretches his face to resemble one of a moai, tricking them into helping them cross; and the non-senient ones are the 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.

| *'''3DS Virtual Console manual:''' ''These rocks fall from the sky. They can squash Mario, but he could also jump on one and take it for a ride. They can't be destroyed.''

| | '''Ganchan''' are rock-like enemies from ''[[Super Mario Land]]'' that are found in the mountainous and spike-filled areas of the [[Easton Kingdom]] of [[Sarasaland]]. Ganchan is simply a large boulder that bounds 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. [[Hiyoihoi]] also uses Ganchans as projectile weapons in World 3-3. Ganchan are indestructible, and should typically be avoided. Although Ganchans appear as generic boulders, they are in fact living beings. Ganchans have also been noted for having some relation to [[Tokotoko]]s as they are thrown by Hiyoihoi, the boss of Tokotokos, and are rock based creatures. |
