The Parapara Brothers made their first appearance in "Whisker Power" when they stole a Black Star Dragon Ball that Goku and his companions had just acquired on Planet Gelbo. Bon Para had disguised himself as a native of the local village and used the deception to get close enough to the group to telekinetically steal the Black Star Dragon Ball from Pan. The Parapara Brothers then fled in a ship to return the Black Star Dragon Ball to Cardinal Mutchy Mutchy, who was waiting for them on Planet Lood. However, Goku, Trunks, and Pan gave chase and, after consulting their own ship's computer, the Para brothers led them to a remote asteroid named Beehay. The asteroid's mazes of tunnels allowed the Para brothers to evade the travelers from Planet Earth, who the Para brothers left behind to be eaten by the Mouma who lived in the tunnels.
Upon reaching Planet Lood, the Parapara Brothers presented the Black Star Dragon Ball that they had stolen to Cardinal Mutchy Mutchy. Though pleased with their acquisition, the cardinal angrily revealed to the Parapara Brothers that they had left behind another Black Star Dragon Ball that the trio from Earth had been carrying. After being given a second chance to redeem their incompetence, the Parapara Brothers hastily returned to Beehay where they found Goku, Trunks, Pan, and Giru struggling to stave off the attacking Mouma. The Parapara Brothers searched the Earthlings' ship, which had been left unguarded, and soon realized that the Black Star Dragon Ball was not inside. They then confronted their rivals, who had dealt with the Mouma for the time-being, reasoning that one of them must be holding the Black Star Dragon Ball they sought.
The group from Earth was shocked when the Parapara Brothers began to dance and sing in front of them. While they were yet attempting to make sense of the Para brothers' actions, they became captivated by the rhythm and were forced to perform whatever dance moves the Para brothers commanded. While Don Para and Son Para continued the dance, Bon Para proceeded to attack their helpless rivals. The Para brothers appeared to have the situation in hand, but the Mouma soon returned – also slaves to the Parapara Brothers' mysterious dance. Surprised by the Mouma's appearance, the Para brothers ceased their rhythmic movements and singing, releasing their captives. Goku, Trunks, and Pan wasted no time and quickly dispatched the Para brothers with single punches.
The Para brothers was then tied up, and while they were still unconscious, Trunks, Pan and Giru searched the Parapara Brothers' Spaceship for the Black Star Dragon Ball that had been stolen. Not finding anything, as the Black Star Dragon Ball had already been taken to Planet Lood, Trunks left the ship content to wait until the Parapara Brothers regained consciousness and ask them where Black Star Dragon Ball was. However, Pan remained aboard and accidentally triggered the ship's launch sequence, and the autopilot took her and Giru to Planet Lood. The Parapara Brothers was then brought along as Goku and Trunks followed in hot pursuit. Fearing what Mutchy Mutchy would do to them, the Parapara Brothers (who were still tied up) objected when Goku and Trunks tried to make them disembark onto Planet Lood, grabbing onto the Earthlings' ship with their teeth, but they were forced to let go when Trunks electrified the exterior of the spacecraft. As they had feared, Mutchy Mutchy was furious with the Parapara Brothers' failure and the dormant Lood transformed the three into dolls, which the cardinal fused with Lood to increase the Machine Mutant's strength.
After some time had passed, the Para brothers met up with Pan and Dolltaki inside of Lood. Using their special dance, the Parapara Brothers was able to compel Dolltaki to reveal Lood's weakness: a red cell above his heart. After Pan failed to destroy the cell alone, the Para brothers then used Telepathy to inform Goku (who was fighting Lood from the outside) of the vulnerability, and then to coordinate an attack so that Goku and Pan could fire on the cell simultaneously. They finally succeeded and Lood was destroyed, freeing the Para brothers and everyone else who had been trapped within the Machine Mutant.

The Parapara Brothers made a brief appearance when they contributed energy to Goku's Genki Dama so that he could topple Omega Shen Long. They also compelled a group of people (who were most likely reformed members of the Lood Cult) who had been dancing with them to contribute energy as well.
