They can be activated by rolling into them, using a Boomerang Flower to throw a boomerang at them, throwing a baseball at them, using a cat swipe or tail whip, or using the touchscreen or touch cursor. When a gong is hit, any Blurkers surrounding it are temporarily incapacitated. Each gong has two ropes holding it and has Bowser's emblem in the middle.
