'''Chickens'''<ref name=land>''Super Mario Land'' English instruction booklet. Page 17.</ref><ref>M. Arakawa. Nintendo ''Game Boy'' Player's Guide. Page 5.</ref> are helmet-clad birds in ''[[Super Mario Land]]''. They soar through the final level of the game aiding [[Biokinton]], in the [[Chai Kingdom]] ([[World 4-3 (Super Mario Land)|World 4-3]]). They are war birds kept by [[Tatanga]].<ref name=land/>

They are also shot out by the shy cloud Biokinton. If [[Mario]] does not destroy a Chicken before it comes near the [[Sky Pop]], it will swerve to hit him. However, if they are shot and defeated, Mario is rewarded with an extra 400 [[point]]s.

In the [[Super Mario Land (manga)|''Super Mario Land'' manga]], Chickens only appears during Biokinton's battle. The boss releases them onto Mario, but they just perch on the Sky Pop without attacking. Furious at his useless minions, Tatanga takes off with the [[Pagosu]] and shoots at Mario, hitting and killing Biokinton in the process and scaring the Chickens away.
