Ganchan
From the Super Mario Wiki, the Mario encyclopedia
Jump to navigationJump to search
Ganchan are found in the moutainous 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 as well. Keep in mind that 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 Tokotokos, as they are thrown by Hiyoihoi, the boss of Tokotokos and are rock based creatures.
