Plalin and Alalin
|
Plalin (プラリン?, Purarin) and Alalin (アラリン?, Ararin)[1] are two fruit catching fellas who catch fruits bouncing on stairs in the Rhythm Game Catchy Tune in Rhythm Heaven Megamix.
Backstory
Plalin and Alalin like to stay at the bottom of a staircase near a market on a hill, because fruit sometimes bounces down from it[2]. This fruit comes from someone's paper bag, which is very flimsy, and rips easily[3]. The two kids are also seen on a tropical island, again at the bottom of a staircase near a fruit market[4], catching fruit bouncing down from an even flimsier paper bag[5]. The kids are shown drinking orange juice made from the fruit they collected in the Superb epilogues for the games they appear in. They also participate in Honeybee Remix, with a honeybee-themed aesthetic.
They also appear in Rhythm Tengoku The Best Plus Comic 35おいしいミックスジュース！ (Delicious Mixed Juice!), where Courtney bounces an apple and melon, and Plalin and Alalin catch them. They then, along with Courtney's snail friend, enjoy some fruit juice.
