Unlike the previous three bosses of the game, Biokinton does not resemble any creatures in the game (although it is most likely in charge of the [[Chicken]]s). During [[Tatanga]]'s invasion of [[Sarasaland]], the alien invader places Biokinton in charge of the [[Chai Kingdom]], the fourth world of Sarasaland. As such, Biokinton has the important task of not only protecting its kingdom, but also preventing [[Mario]] from rescuing [[Princess Daisy]]. |

| Biokinton appears in the [[Super Mario Land (manga)|''Super Mario Land'' manga]], depicted as the less threatening boss. After Mario crashes Tatanga and [[Princess Daisy]]'s wedding, Tatanga then sends out Biokinton, who releases the Chickens onto Mario, but they do nothing to him. Furious, Tatanga takes off with the [[Pagosu]] and shoots at Mario, killing Biokinton in the process. | | In battle, Biokinton attacks by throwing Chicken enemies at Mario. To defeat Biokinton, Mario has to shoot twenty missiles at the cloud. After enough hits, Biokinton is defeated, and Mario has to fight Tatanga. Mario is awarded 5000 points for defeating Biokinton. Biokinton largely resembles a [[Lakitu's Cloud]], but the name "Biokinton" should not actually be applied to the cloud itself; behind the cloud, Biokinton is actually an incredibly shy creature whom nobody has seen.<ref>As stated in the ''Super Mario Land'' manual.</ref> |

| | Unlike other bosses, there is no switch to press to automatically destroy Biokinton. It must be shot down with missiles. The same applies to Tatanga, though both explode upon defeat in a similar fashion to the previous bosses. |
