Official artwork of Biokinton.

Biokinton is the fourth boss in the game Super Mario Land. Unlike the previous three bosses of the game, Biokinton does not resemble any creatures in the game (although he is most likely in charge of the Chickens). During Tatanga's invasion of Sarasaland, the alien invader placed Biokinton in charge of the Chai Kingdom, the fourth world of Sarasaland. As such, Biokinton had the important task of not only protecting his kingdom, but also preventing Mario from rescuing Princess Daisy.

In battle, Biokinton attacks by throwing Chicken enemies at Mario. To defeat Biokinton, Mario had to shoot twenty torpedoes at the cloud. After enough hits, Biokinton was defeated and Mario had to fight Tatanga. Mario was 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.

Unlike other bosses, there is no switch to press to automatically destroy Biokinton. He must be shot down with torpedoes (though admittedly, Dragonzamasu is easier to defeat by shooting with torpedoes than hitting the switch). The same applies to Tatanga, who is fought immediately after Biokinton.
