Roketon

Roketons are enemies that appear in Super Mario Land. Roketons are airborne enemies that serve directly under Tatanga. They are only found in World 4-3 of the Chai Kingdom.

History
Roketons patrol the skies in their planes until they spot Mario riding in his Sky Pop and attempt to attack him. Mario must shoot down the Roketons in his Sky Pop in order to defeat them. However, it Mario doesn't shoot down any Roketons, the Roketons will fire Bullet Biffs backwards at him.

Trivia

 * Even though the official artwork for Roketons show them shooting cannonballs from their planes, they never fire cannonballs in game. They only fire Bullet Biffs.
