'''Roketons'''<ref>''Super Mario Land'' English instruction booklet, page 17.</ref>, also known as '''Rocketons'''<ref>[[Game Boy]] Nintendo Player's Guide, page 4.</ref>, are airborne [[List of enemies|enemies]] that served [[Tatanga]] during his invasion of [[Sarasaland]] during the events of ''[[Super Mario Land]]''. The only visible part of a Roketon's body is its head, which resembles a [[Lakitu]], to which they are assumed to be related. Instead of [[Lakitu's Cloud|clouds]], Roketons fly planes; these aircraft are based on either the [[Wikipedia:Mikoyan-Gurevich_MiG-15|MiG-15]] or the improved design, the [[Wikipedia:Mikoyan-Gurevich_MiG-17|MiG-17]]; both are jet fighters of the former USSR. | '''Roketons'''<ref>''Super Mario Land'' English instruction booklet, page 17.</ref>, also known as '''Rocketons'''<ref>[[Game Boy]] Nintendo Player's Guide, page 4.</ref>, are airborne [[List of enemies|enemies]] that served [[Tatanga]] as his personal guards during his invasion of [[Sarasaland]] during the events of ''[[Super Mario Land]]''. <ref>''Super Mario Land'' English instruction booklet, page 17.</ref> The only visible part of a Roketon's body is its head, which resembles a [[Lakitu]], to which they are assumed to be related.

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. | Roketons only appeared in the final stage in the [[Chai Kingdom]], Level 4-3, protecting the path to both [[Biokinton]] and Tatanga.
