- —Doot-Doot Sisters, Super Mario Sunshine
The Doot-Doot Sisters[1] are an ensemble of traveling street performers and recurring minor characters in Super Mario Sunshine. They are made up of two female Pianta dancers, a yellow and a fuchsia one, and are often accompanied by a blue male Pianta with a ukulele. They are well-known on Isle Delfino and are usually surrounded by a group of fans. When they talk, they usually end their sentences with strings of the word "doot" and random variations of it, a habit that their fans pick up on and replicate.
The Doot-Doot Sisters more than once make disgruntled remarks regarding their fans, notably when said fans are sweaty,[2] dressed sloppily,[3] or are annoyingly inconsiderate. They occasionally appear throughout different levels, performing their iconic hula dance. Locations where the Doot-Doot Sisters are found include the following:
- Near the fish market in Episode 8 of Ricco Harbor.
- At the amphitheater on the hillside and in front of the Surf Cabana in Episodes 5 and 8 respectively of Gelato Beach.
- On the beach in Episodes 3-5 and 8 of Sirena Beach.
- Most episodes of Pianta Village.
The Doot-Doot Sisters make a minor cameo in Mario Kart: Double Dash!! each time a Cup is won. While they do not appear in Mario Party 8, two similar pink females are seen hula dancing at the beginning of Goomba's Booty Boardwalk.
