Tippi



Tippi (real name Lady Timpani) is a Pixl in Super Paper Mario. She will aid Mario in searching for secret areas. The player can use the Wii Remote to tattle on enemies, search for other secrets, and hidden doors by using her. She resembles a butterfly, and is the first of many Pixls that Mario and team will find. Unlike the other Paper Mario tattle partners Mario has had, Tippi tattles in third person.

During the game, it is revealed that she was in love with a man named Lord Blumiere, who became Count Bleck when she disappeared. It is also revealed that she was originally a girl who Merlon found weak. Merlon is the one who changed her into a Pixl. Her true form is a human. At the end of the game, she marries Blumiere to stop The Void. Upon doing this, though, they both disappeared, but reappeared on their perfect world. She is turned back into a human and lives happily with her husband, Count Blumiere until the game is over.

Trivia

 * Her name derives from the word tip as in Tips and Tricks.
 * Tippi's real name of "Lady Timpani" is also based on the timpani, a large, drum-like instrument.
 * She has the same abilities as Goombario and Goombella.
 * In the Japanese version, Tippi is called Anna.
 * After Francis kidnaps her, he renames her "Francine".
 * There are various instances where the player can't use Tippi: when she was kidnapped by Francis, shortly after the events of Chapter 4, when Mario first goes to The Underwhere, when Luigi fights Dimentio by himself, the first part of the final battle with Super Dimentio, and after Tippi marries Bleck. It is this last instance where Tippi never returns. Optionally, the player can buy Tiptron, a robotic version of Tippi, from Francis.
 * Her Catch Card is found on the tenth floor of the Flipside Pit of 100 Trials.
