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'''<ref>{{cite|title=''Super Mario Land'' instruction booklet|page=15|language=en-us|publisher=Nintendo of America|author=Nintendo}}</ref><ref>{{cite|language=en-us|publisher=Nintendo of America|title=Nintendo ''Game Boy'' Player's Guide|page=5|date=1991}}</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]].

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. | 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. | ||
