Tiptron

"He constructed me...Constructed...me...N-no, no! I'm Tippi... I wasn't constructed by anyone."

- Tiptron

Tiptron is a robotic version of Tippi, a partner of Mario in the game Super Paper Mario. At the end of the game, Count Bleck and Tippi marry each other, to stop The Void, and the player can no longer use Tippi. However, it is revealed later that Francis created Tiptron, and for 999 coins, he'll sell it to Mario, allowing the player to use Tippi's abilities again. This presents the problem to the player to amass this much money, as 999 is the highest number of coins the player can hold.

Tiptron has feminine programming and is designed to resemble Tippi. Tiptron likes to think she is Tippi, and speaks exactly like her, albeit in a more electronic looking speech box, similar to TEC-XX from Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. She admits to not being Tippi when she tattles on the player, she thanks Mario, Princess Peach, Bowser and Luigi for saving the world, ended by "At least, that's what I think she'd say...", referring to Tippi. She also admits to this when scanning Francis. She seems rather conflicted on her identity, believing herself to be Tippi, but also being aware that she is not Tippi at the same time, leading her to be rather distressed about the whole thing.

Trivia
🇵🇲
 * Before the game's initial release, there were artworks of Nastasia with Tiptron floating over her, suggesting that she was Nastasia's personal Pixl, but in the game they don't necessarily encounter at all.
 * If the player talks to Francis after buying Tiptron from him, he will state that he is going to create a second model, Tiptron Mk. II.
