The Little Elephant (これ象くん, Kore Zou-kun^?) (known by a variety of names depending on the game) is a recurring special item featured in the Ganbare Goemon series. It is the figurine of a tiny anthropomorphic elephant whose usage differs depending on the game.

Appearances

Ganbare Goemon Gaiden: Kieta Ōgon Kiseru

The Little Elephant makes a brief cameo appearance in this role playing game; however, instead of being a collectable item and/or producing a special effect upon pickup, the doll acts as the hidden item that is used in the shell minigame. The player will be awarded 10 coins if they successfully guess under which cup the figurine was hidden.

The Legend of the Mystical Ninja

Called Ebony Elephant in this game and exclusive to a single player game, one of these figurines can be found by breaking a pot located about midway of each 2D action scene. The item then acts as a checkpoint, and should the player lose all their lives after collecting it and before defeating the area boss, they will be prompted to continue either at the beginning of the action scene, at the Tanuki statue, or at the location where they picked up the Ebony Elephant.

Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon

Called Mr. Elly Fant in this game, one of these figurines can be found inside each enemy castle the player has to explore and conquer. Upon pickup, the player will gain access to look at the castle's inside area map.
