Doot-Doot Sisters
- “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 pink one, and they are often accompanied by a male blue 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 their fans pick up 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.
Super Mario Sunshine
The Doot-Doot Sisters are minor characters in Super Mario Sunshine and can occasionally be found throughout different levels, performing their iconic dance. They are not related to any of the missing Shine Sprites or significant for the outcome of any missions.

- Ricco Harbor, episode eight, near the fish market.
- Gelato Beach, episode five, at the amphitheater on the hillside and episode eight, in front of the Surf Cabana.
- Sirena Beach, episodes three to five and eight, at the beach.
A pair of dancers similar to the Doot-Doot Sisters, consisting of an orange and a pink Pianta women, can be found in Pianta Village, often near the Pianta Hot Spring. During episode eight of Pianta Village, five dancers in total can be spotted in the vicinity, along with the Pianta carrying a ukulele. While two of these dancers are pink and yellow respectively, none of them sport any other of the Doot-Doot Sisters' characteristics, making their possible presence an ambiguity.
