The '''Jellyfish Sisters''' ('''Gigi''' and '''Merri''') are two adult [[Kurako]] that own the [[Relaxation Room]] in [[Gwarhar Lagoon]] in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'' and ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions]]''. Gigi dons a red dress, while her sister, Merri, dons a green dress. Gigi's and Merri's names are likely derived from "[[Luigi]]" and "[[Mario]]," respectively. When Mario and Luigi arrive at their Relaxation Room, the Jellyfish Sisters give them hand massages, during which the Mario Bros. inadvertently perform their [[Firebrand]] and [[Thunderhand]] abilities. The Jellyfish Sisters are also able to fly—or, at least, glide—as they descend from the sky when they are introduced.


The '''Jellyfish Sisters''', Gigi and Merri are the owners of a relaxation center of [[Gwarhar Lagoon]] in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]''. When Mario & Luigi arrive at their relaxation center, the Jellyfish Sisters give them hand massages, and possess the powers of the '''Firebrand''' and '''Thunderhand'''. Gigi wears red while Merri wears green.
After Mario and Luigi learn their Firebrand and Thunderhand abilities, the sisters teach them two new moves: [[Dash (Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga)|Dash]] and [[Tickle]]. The sisters then instruct them to retrieve the Green and Red [[Pearl Bean]]s, warning that if they refuse, they will be forced to pay 100,000 [[Beanbean Coin]]s, despite not having disclosed the cost of the lesson in advance. Mario and Luigi opt to retrieve the Pearl Beans to pay the sisters, using their newly learned Tickle to navigate the [[Rolling Bar Defense System]]. After the Mario Bros. give them the Pearl Beans, Gigi and Merri become so excited that they fall asleep, temporarily shutting down the Relaxation Room.  


After [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] learned their [[Firebrand]] and [[Thunderhand]] ability, the sisters teach them new moves to use with their techniques, such as being able to walk sideways or run quickly. The sisters then ask the Bros to find the twin [[Pearl Bean]]s, situated in the cave they are in, as payment for the lesson.
While the Jellyfish Sisters' faces are a bright light purple in ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga'', in ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions'', their faces are a blackish-blue.


The Jellyfish Sisters are also able to fly or at least glide, as they descend from the sky when they appear to the Mario Brothers.

Full name Gigi and Merri
Species Kurako
First appearance Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga (2003)

The Jellyfish Sisters (Gigi and Merri) are two adult Kurako that own the Relaxation Room in Gwarhar Lagoon in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga and Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions. Gigi dons a red dress, while her sister, Merri, dons a green dress. Gigi's and Merri's names are likely derived from "Luigi" and "Mario," respectively. When Mario and Luigi arrive at their Relaxation Room, the Jellyfish Sisters give them hand massages, during which the Mario Bros. inadvertently perform their Firebrand and Thunderhand abilities. The Jellyfish Sisters are also able to fly—or, at least, glide—as they descend from the sky when they are introduced.

After Mario and Luigi learn their Firebrand and Thunderhand abilities, the sisters teach them two new moves: Dash and Tickle. The sisters then instruct them to retrieve the Green and Red Pearl Beans, warning that if they refuse, they will be forced to pay 100,000 Beanbean Coins, despite not having disclosed the cost of the lesson in advance. Mario and Luigi opt to retrieve the Pearl Beans to pay the sisters, using their newly learned Tickle to navigate the Rolling Bar Defense System. After the Mario Bros. give them the Pearl Beans, Gigi and Merri become so excited that they fall asleep, temporarily shutting down the Relaxation Room.

While the Jellyfish Sisters' faces are a bright light purple in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions, their faces are a blackish-blue.
