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 (Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga)|Dash]] and [[Tickle]]. The sisters then either ask the brothers to pay for their lesson at the price of 100,000 [[Beanbean coin]]s or alternatively suggest that they find the twin Green and Red [[Pearl Bean]]s, situated in the cave they are in. 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 tricks, the sisters teach them new moves to use with their techniques, such as being able to walk sideways or run quickly.
