- “My feet hurt, and my arms feel like lead. Oh, and DOOT-DOOT!”
- —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 pink one, and a male light-blue Pianta with a ukulele (who appeared alone in the very first mission). 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, particularly when said fans are sweaty,[2] dressed sloppily,[3] or 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 Episode 5 and Episode 8, respectively, of Gelato Beach
- On the beach in Episode 3–Episode 5 and Episode 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.

Notes[edit]
- Content Piantas can be heard singing the Doot-Doot Sisters' songs when approached close-up in Super Mario Sunshine.
- A "Doot-Doot" that sounds similar to that of the Doot-Doot Sisters can also be heard from the Piantas on the Delfino Square course in Mario Kart DS.
- Contrary to other versions, the Spanish localization does not capitalize the "sisters" part of the Doot-Doot Sisters' name.
