First appearance Super Mario Land (1989)

Roketons,[1] also known as Rocketons,[2] are airborne enemies that serve Tatanga as his 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 MiG-15 or the improved design, the MiG-17; both are jet fighters of the former USSR. Roketons appear only in 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 cannonballs 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, 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.
