Despite Blumiere's efforts to search for her, Timpani eventually arrived in [[Flipside]] and was found by [[Merlon]], another descendant of the Ancients, who transferred her soul into a [[Pixl]] form to save her life, christening her Tippi. She remained there with him, while Blumiere, distraught by the loss of his love and unaware that she was still alive, turned to the [[Dark Prognosticus]] with the intentions of bringing forth the [[Chaos Heart]] to destroy all worlds.

Tippi is first introduced to [[Mario]] after [[Count Bleck]] abducts [[Bowser]], [[Luigi]], and the [[Koopa Troop]] from [[Bowser's Castle]] - she brings him to Flipside and, along with Merlon, explains the events foretold in the prophecy of destruction, as well as how Mario matches the description of the hero in the [[Light Prognosticus]]. Tippi agrees to accompany Mario in his quest to find the [[Pure Hearts]].

Tippi agrees to accompany Mario in his quest to find the [[Pure Hearts]].


As Mario reunites with his friends and progress is made through the game, Tippi begins to recall memories of her past with Blumiere. At the start of Chapter 3, she is kidnapped by [[Francis]], a nerdy chameleon, and imprisoned in his [[Fort Francis|fort]] as a 'rare collectible' that he names 'Francine' - Mario and co. make their way there and battle Francis to save her. After his defeat, Tippi expresses her gratitude toward the heroes for rescuing her and comes to trust them more, and the Green Pure Heart appears from her, much to her surprise. Merlon later explains that it was sealed in the fort and could only be gained by strong feelings of trust and friendship.

Following Chapter 4, Tippi mysteriously falls unconscious, and Merlon reveals to the heroes how he had found and saved her from death, telling them she cannot survive much longer even in her Pixl form. Despite this, he is able to revive her and she chooses to continue travelling with the heroes, stating her desire to be near Mario. During their trek through the near-destruction [[Sammer's Kingdom]], Tippi and the heroes encounter Count Bleck, who finally reveals the first hint of his true motives to them through the mention of the name 'Timpani'. Tippi is surprised by this, having heard the same name in her memories, but the count disappears before she can say anything more to him. She concludes soon after that she knew Bleck in the past but cannot remember when or how.

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 man she loves and letting every world be destroyed, while Bleck himself begs for the heroes to end his game, desiring for the universe to be saved so that Tippi herself can live on.

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. Tippi returns with them to Mario and aids him in the fight against [[Super Dimentio]]. Upon his death, however, the Chaos Heart remains intact - Bleck claims that Dimentio has left behind a shadow of power to continue the destruction of all worlds. 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.
