Sprite fromPaper Mario
Species	Buzzy Beetle
First appearance	Paper Mario (2000)

“Above us, on the top floor, there is aDojo. We are here! Always! Training at the Dojo! Unless ourMaster isn't here, in which case the Dojo's closed. A letter just arrived saying The Master will return soon. We will train again soon!”

—Chan,Paper Mario

Chan is a student at theToad Town Dojo and, along withLee, a disciple of theMaster inPaper Mario. He is aBuzzy Beetle with a green shell and the easiest dojo resident to defeat. Chan can be fought only after Mario visitsEldstar onShooting Star Summit. Chan's name is a reference to martial artist and actorJackie Chan. According toGoombario, Chan has deep admiration for the Master.

Since he is a Buzzy Beetle, Chan has a high defense rating and cannot be hurt by fire attacks or explosions. However, he can be flipped over byjump attacks. Once Chan is flipped over, he is vulnerable and cannot attack. Thus, it is possible forMario to keep flipping Chan over, preventing him from attacking. When Mario defeats him, he earns theFirst-Degree Card. If Mario loses all of hisHP during his battle with Chan, he does not get aGame Over; instead, he is sent back to the field with only 1 HP remaining.

Tattle	This is Chan, of the Dojo. He's training under The Master and is happy to fight us. Max HP: 15, Attack Power: 2, Defense Power: 2 Hammer attacks don't work well, but you can turn him over with Jump attacks. Once he's flipped over, he's easy. No mercy, Mario!

Field Tattle[edit]

• "That's Chan. He's one of the trainees who seem to always be at the Dojo. He worships The Master. I mean, it's all well and good for Chan to admire The Master, but I prefer Mario!"
