''' | '''Ganchans'''<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 [[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 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. | |||

''A large rock suddenly falls out of nowhere. You can't defeat it, and if you get trapped under it, you lose a life. You can ride on top of it, so it is useful to use it to move around in places where the ground below is hazardous.'' | |||
