| In the [[Super Mario Land (manga)|''Super Mario Land'' manga]], Roketons are the first enemies to appear, assaulting [[Princess Daisy]]'s castle with Tatanga. They later reappear towards the end of the last chapter, in [[Chai Kingdom]]'s sky. A [[Nyololin]] informs them via radio to take Mario down, but they are shot by the Sky Pop's missiles.
| | Roketons only appeared in the final stage in the [[Chai Kingdom]], Level 4-3, protecting the path to both [[Biokinton]] and Tatanga. If [[Mario]] succeeded in shooting the Roketon down before it left the screen, he would be awarded with 400 points. However, if a Roketon made its way past Mario in his [[Sky Pop]], it would fire a [[Bullet Biff]]-like projectile backwards at the plumber. The official artwork also depicts [[cannonball]]s being shot forward out of the nose of the plane, but this feature was never used in the actual game. |
