'''Roketons''',<ref>{{cite|date=1989|language=en-us|author=Nintendo|publisher=Nintendo of America|title=''Super Mario Land'' English instruction booklet|page=17}}</ref> also known as '''Rocketons''',<ref>{{cite|title=Nintendo ''Game Boy'' Player's Guide|page=5|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us}}</ref> are airborne [[List of enemies|enemies]] that are [[Tatanga]]'s personal guards in his invasion of [[Sarasaland]] during the events of ''[[Super Mario Land]]''. The only visible part of a Roketon's body is its head. 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 appear only in [[World 4-3 (Super Mario Land)|World 4-3]], guarding the path to both [[Biokinton]] and Tatanga, and successfully shooting the Roketons down before they leave the screen earns the player 400 points. If a Roketon makes its way past Mario in his [[Sky Pop]], it fires a [[Bullet Biff]] backwards at him. 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.

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.
