'''Tippi''', also known by her real name '''Lady Timpani''', is a [[Pixl]] and a major character in ''[[Super Paper Mario]]''. She is introduced to Mario at the beginning of the game, teleporting him to [[Flipside]] to meet [[Merlon]] so that he can fulfill his destiny to save the worlds. She helps [[Mario]] in his quest by finding secrets, talking to him in cutscenes, and most prominently, providing [[tattle]] information on enemies, as [[Goombario]] and [[Goombella]] did in the first two ''[[Paper Mario (series)|Paper Mario]]'' titles. The name Tippi refers to the tips she gives to Mario in her tattles. Her real name, Timpani, is derived from the {{wp|timpani}}, a kind of drum used in orchestral music. | '''Tippi''', also known by her real name '''Lady Timpani''', is a [[Pixl]] and a major character in ''[[Super Paper Mario]]''.

She resembles a butterfly, and is the first of the Pixls encountered by [[Mario]]. Unlike the other ''Paper Mario'' tattle partners Mario has had, Tippi tattles in third person, and she also remains onscreen regardless of the other active Pixl. After she is reverted to human form, she can no longer be used as a [[Pixl]], but she can be replaced by [[Francis]]'s [[Tiptron]] at the cost of 999 [[coin]]s (the maximum number of coins that can be held in the game). Her [[Catch Card]] is found on the tenth room of the [[Flipside Pit of 100 Trials]]. | ||

After Mario and his friends defeat [[Bonechill]] and obtain the eighth and final Pure Heart, Tippi recalls the last of her lost memories and finally learns to her horror that Blumiere is indeed Count Bleck. Despite this knowledge, however, she keeps her past a secret from the heroes as they travel through [[Castle Bleck]] to defeat the count, knowing that only his death can end the prophecy of destruction. After the battle is won, Tippi is caught between killing the [[Count Bleck|man she loves]] and letting every world be destroyed, while Bleck himself begs for the heroes to [[game Over|end his game]], desiring for the universe to be saved so that Tippi herself can live on. | After Mario and his friends defeat [[Bonechill]] and obtain the eighth and final Pure Heart, Tippi recalls the last of her lost memories and finally learns to her horror that Blumiere is indeed Count Bleck.

Dimentio then appears and betrays the count, banishing Bleck, Tippi and a dying [[Nastasia]] to [[Dimension D]] before battling the heroes with the now-brainwashed Luigi and the Chaos Heart. While there, Tippi encourages Bleck not to give up, exclaiming that staying alive was how they were able to find each other again - her hope for all worlds, as well as the loyalty of Bleck's other minions, restores power to the Pure Hearts, which had been drained previously in the fight against Bleck.

The heroes and villains are returned to the chapel of Castle Bleck, where Bleck and Tippi exchange vows and wed each other at long last, using the true love they possess as a last effort to shatter the Chaos Heart and save the universe. | ||

The fate of Blumiere and Timpani is hinted at in two parts. The first is an in-game dialogue between them, which includes a mention of going to a "place" where they both could be happy together. The other occurs after the credits; Timpani and Blumiere are seen walking off into the distance on a grassy field. What is seen of the actual Timpani is a thin, dress-clad woman slightly resembling [[Princess Peach]]'s sprites from the original ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' | The fate of Blumiere and Timpani is hinted at in two parts.
