Callie (アオリ, Aori) and Marie (ホタル, Hotaru) are supporting characters in the Splatoon franchise. Together, they make up the Squid Sisters (シオカラーズ, Sea o' Colors) pop duo.

Origin

The Squid Sisters, announcing a stage change in Splatoon.

In the original Splatoon, Callie and Marie are a pair of pop idols who host Inkopolis News, where they announce what stages are available for online multiplayer as well as giving information on updates and Splatfests. During Splatfests, Callie and Marie can be seen in Inkopolis Plaza performing atop trucks, much like their Assist Trophy function, although each Squid Sister has their own truck rather than performing on the same stage. These concerts can also be viewed through use of amiibo.

In Splatoon 2, Callie and Marie's role from the first game is taken by Pearl and Marina of Off the Hook. Marie now hosts the story mode in Octo Canyon, while Callie, kidnapped and brainwashed by DJ Octavio, serves as part of the final boss. However, partway through the boss fight, Marie is able to free Callie from DJ Octavio's mind control. For the final phase of the fight, they perform together on a stage similar to the one seen in Super Smash Bros.. As of the 3.0 update of Splatoon 2, players are able to speak with Callie and Marie in Octo Canyon after completing the final battle, learning statistics about their performance in online multiplayer as well as various tidbits about the characters themselves.

In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

“	Cameras get closer and closer to their live performance, limiting the space you have to battle. Don't get too lost in the music!	”

The Squid Sisters performing a live concert for Villager and King Dedede.

The Squid Sisters appear collectively as an Assist Trophy character in Ultimate. When they are summoned, they appear in the middle of the stage (teleporting if not there already), and perform a live concert. As they are performing, the camera zooms in on them, and the blast lines get smaller and smaller, making it easier for players to be KO'd. Once the song finishes, the duo disappears, and the camera returns to normal.

Squid Sisters won't appear in stages that render characters in 2D (such as Flat Zone X and Pac-Land). stages with a constant layout change (such as Port Town Aero Dive), and stages with stage hazards that can engulf the majority of platforms (such as Norfair).

Trivia

• The Squid Sisters are the only Assist Trophy unaffected by Isabelle's Fishing Rod glitch. If attempted, only one will spawn, and Isabelle will keep opening the Assist Trophy, but nothing will come out.
• The Squid Sisters placement in the Assist Trophy category in Training Mode comes after Spring Man and the rest of the Nintendo Assist Trophies from non-playable universes, but before the Assist Trophies from third-party universes. This is unusual as Splatoon itself features a playable character in the Inklings (where they should be placed after Riki, considering the introduction of Splatoon as a fighter universe came after Xenoblade), as well as the debut of the original Splatoon predating ARMS by two years and 19 days, which was the debut of the characters.
