'''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]]''.

The player can use Tippi by pointing the [[Wii#Wii Remote|Wii Remote]] at the screen, causing her to tattle on enemies, search for hidden doors, and find other secrets. 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]]. | The player can use Tippi by pointing the [[Wii#Wii Remote|Wii Remote]] at the screen, causing her to tattle on enemies, search for hidden doors, and find other secrets.
