Doot-Doot Sisters
- “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 travelling 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.
While not much is known about their overall opinion regarding their occupation, the Doot-Doot Sisters more than once make disgruntled remarks regarding their fans, notably 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 Episodes 5 and 8 respectively of Gelato Beach.
- On the beach in Episodes 3-5 and 8 of Sirena Beach.
The Doot-Doot Sisters make a minor cameo in Mario Kart: Double Dash!! each time a Cup is won. They later appear in Mario Party 8 at the beginning of Goomba's Booty Boardwalk, hula dancing.
