Biokinton

Biokinton is a minor character who appears in Super Mario Land. It is a very shy creature hidden inside of a cloud who rules over the Chai Kingdom and acts as the first boss of that area. After Biokinton goes down, Tatanga is summoned as the true final boss.
==Description==
Biokinton is described as a very shy creature. The cloud he hides in is white and has two black dots. What Biokinton looks like underneath his cloud is unknown as it is always seen covering his body.
==Battle==
Mario encounters Biokinton after his journey through the last stage of the Chai Kingdom, facing him with a fighter called the Sky Pop. In battle, Biokinton attacks by releasing a swarm of Chickens at Mario, moving around to make him harder to hit.
===Strategy===
To defeat Biokinton, Mario must shoot him down with missiles from the Sky Pop until the boss is defeated, which rewards Mario with 5,000 points. Unlike with the past bosses in the game, Biokinton is the only one who cannot be defeated with a switch, probably since Mario cannot lose the Sky Pop. After Biokinton is defeated, Tatanga himself will emerge to fight Mario in one last battle.
== In The Manga ==
In the manga adaptation, Tatanga summons the Biokinton in response to his arranged wedding with Princess Daisy being crashed. Biokinton launches his chickens, but Mario manages to destroy them. Biokinton later presumably meets his demise during the fight when Tatanga, in a fit of rage, accidentally zaps Biokinton's cloud with the Pagosu in an attempt to zap Mario.
== Behind the Scenes ==
=== Name ===
Biokinton derives his name from the Chinese word bāo, which means "to wrap" and is written 包, and "kinto'un," a Chinese legendary cloud-like conveyance written 筋斗雲. This is a reference to how he hides in a cloud.
