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 the kingdom, but also preventing [[Mario]] from rescuing [[Princess Daisy]]. |

| Unlike the previous three bosses of the game, Biokinton does not resemble any lesser enemies, although his aeriform disguise makes him resemble a [[Lakitu's Cloud]]. In addition, there is no switch that will automatically destroy him when activated - he must be defeated with the Sky Pop's missiles. The same applies to Tatanga, though both explode upon defeat in a similar fashion to the previous bosses. | | Unlike other bosses, there is no switch to press to automatically destroy Biokinton.

| 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.
