In ''{{s|inkipedia|Splatoon 2}}'', Callie and Marie's role from the first game is taken by {{s|inkipedia|Pearl}} and {{s|inkipedia|Marina}} of {{s|inkipedia|Off the Hook}}. Marie has a major role in the story mode in {{s|inkipedia|Octo Canyon}}, where she assists the player throughout the game, while Callie, kidnapped and brainwashed by DJ Octavio, serves as part of the final boss. However, partway through the final 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.'', albeit situated atop a flying truck. 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 ''{{s|inkipedia|Splatoon 3}}'', Callie and Marie both have a major role in that game's story mode, once again assisting the player. This time they formed the "New New Squidbeak Splatoon" led by the former Agent 3 (The player character from the first game) and recruit the player to become the new Agent 3. While on a mission to rescue Cuttlefish, they had a run in with the group ''{{s|inkipedia|Deep Cut}}'', who at first attempted to battle them over uncovered parts of a contraption but later decided to work with the Squid Sisters. In the end, both the Squid Sisters and Deep Cut help out the new Agent 3 during their battle against ''{{s|inkipedia|Mr. Grizz}}''.

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 line]]s get smaller and smaller, making it easier for players to be KO'd, similar to the game's [[Sudden Death]]. Once the song finishes, the duo disappears, and the camera returns back to normal. They both say "Stay fresh!" in the Inkling language when summoned, which are reused voice clips from ''Splatoon''.

During the performance, the Squid Sisters will perform one of the two songs: ''Calamari Inkantation'' or ''Ink Me Up''. Each is accompanied by a unique dance.

The Squid Sisters won't appear on 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]]). They will not appear if a fighter is in Final Smash standby, and if a Final Smash is activated during the concert (such as by the [[Final Smash Meter]] filling), the duo will instantly disappear.

The Squid Sisters use an army of {{SSBU|Inkling}} puppet fighters and is fought on the [[Moray Towers]] stage. During the battle, the Squid Sisters appear as a hostile Assist Trophy and the player's fighter is easy to launch, referencing the Squid Sisters' Assist Trophy effect in ''Ultimate'' where the camera zooms in on them ans shrinks the blast lines, making it easy for players to KO their opponents.

*If the gameplay speed is lowered, the Squid Sisters will remain dancing at full speed, and will be on screen for the same amount of time. However, the screen zooming is slowed down normally, resulting in it being less effective at lower speeds.

*Strangely, the Squid Sisters' placement in the Assist Trophy category in [[Training Mode]] and the [[Sound Test]] comes after the Assist Trophies from first and second-party universes without playable characters, but before the Assist Trophies from third-party universes, despite ''Splatoon'' itself featuring a playable character in the {{SSBU|Inkling}}s and being a Nintendo-created and owned property.

*The Squid Sisters were the only Assist Trophy unaffected by {{SSBU|Isabelle}}'s [[Fishing Rod]] [[Infinite Assist Trophy glitch|glitch]]. If attempted, only one would spawn, and Isabelle would keep opening the Assist Trophy, but nothing would come out. This is likely due to their mechanic of zooming in the stage, and the game either putting a limit as to how far it can be zoomed in (similar to the one seen when [[Camera|taking a picture]]) or inadvertently not wanting to zoom in so far as to have it glitch and crash. However, the [[Devil]], whose mechanic also involves moving the camera, was able to be summoned multiple times; that said, moving the camera to a different position is different from zooming in on an object.

*Callie being a Brawler costume and Marie being a Gunner costume is a reference to their {{s|inkipedia|weapon}} preferences in ''Splatoon'', with Callie favoring the melee {{s|inkipedia|Roller}} weapons, and Marie favoring the long-ranged {{s|inkipedia|Charger}}s.
