They soar through the final level of the game aiding [[Biokinton]], in the [[Chai Kingdom]] ([[World 4-3 (Super Mario Land)|World 4-3]]). They are also shot out by the shy cloud Biokinton. A Chicken can damage [[Mario]] by soaring at him. Defeating a chicken earns the player extra 400 [[point]]s.

In the [[Super Mario Land (manga)|''Super Mario Land'' manga]], Chickens only appears during Biokinton's battle. The boss releases them onto Mario, but they just perch on the Sky Pop without attacking. Furious at his useless minions, Tatanga takes off with the [[Pagosu]] and shoots at Mario, hitting and killing Biokinton in the process and scaring the Chickens away.
