The '''Island Sisters''' are a pair of tiny twin fairies from ''[[Kirby: Right Back at Ya!]]'' who live with [[Mosugaba]] on the Embrya Island in the South Seas. They have a peculiar bond with the giant [[monster]] [[Mosugaba]], and have the power to both summon and calm the giant insect using their singing. To take advantage of this, the Island Sisters are kidnapped by [[Night Mare Enterprises]] and forced to call Mosugaba to [[Dream Land (anime)|Dream Land]] for [[King Dedede (anime | The '''Island Sisters''' are a pair of tiny twin fairies from ''[[Kirby: Right Back at Ya!]]'' who live with [[Mosugaba]] on the Embrya Island in the South Seas.

After causing a stir in the kingdom, [[Tiff]], [[Tuff]], and [[Kirby (anime)|Kirby]] reunite the sisters with Mosugaba and they return to their island in peace. | ||

The Island Sisters are two tiny twin girls with sparkling eyes and tan skin.

The Island Sisters either speak in unison or finish each-others' sentences, and only desire to live in peace on Embrya Island with Mosugaba. They have the ability to both summon and calm Mosugaba using their singing, which can be heard by the creature from extreme distances. | The Island Sisters either speak in unison or finish each-others' sentences, and only desire to live in peace on Embrya Island with Mosugaba.

In the Japanese version, the song that the Twin Nuts sing to Mosugaba has very peculiar lyrics. It is based upon "[https://wikizilla.org/wiki/Mothra%27s_Song Mothra's Song]", and while describing characteristics of Mosugaba, it also contains references to both [[Nintendo]] and [[HAL Laboratory]]. The lyrics are as follows: | |||

The line "you are also a flying angel" is transcribed from Japanese as "do-tennin". This word is an anagram of the word "Nintendo". The lyrics also reference [[HAL Laboratory]]'s former headquarters in Japan's Yamanashi prefecture: the Kanda building, which appears in Kirby's [[Stone]] transformations in some of the games. | |||
The song reappears in instrumental form in ''[[Kirby Mass Attack]]'' and ''[[Kirby and the Rainbow Curse]]''. | |||
