(I’m sure someone will revert this if I’m wrong, but should Tiptron be listed as a Pixl? The ancient kind of technology that contains a person’s soul? All Francis did was create a robot with the appearance and functions of a Pixl. That doesn’t mean it has all of the inner workings.) Tag: Mobile edit |

'''Tiptron''' is a robotic version of [[Tippi]], a partner of [[Mario]] in the game ''[[Super Paper Mario]]''. At the end of the game, Tippi becomes unavailable for the player's use after her marriage to [[Count Bleck]] and subsequent disappearance after regaining her human form. However, it is revealed later that [[Francis]] created Tiptron, and for 999 [[coin]]s (the highest number of coins the player can hold), he will sell it to [[Mario]], allowing the player to use Tippi's abilities again. If the player talks to Francis after buying Tiptron, he states that he is going to create | '''Tiptron''' is a robotic version of [[Tippi]], a partner of [[Mario]] in the game ''[[Super Paper Mario]]''.

Tiptron has feminine programming and is designed to resemble Tippi; she speaks exactly like her and uses rainbow-colored textboxes as with the other Pixls, but shares the textbox shape used by other robotic characters like [[Fracktail]] and [[Wracktail]].

Overall, though she was made as an exact replica of Tippi, essentially a replacement, she is able to see through her programming, and this awareness that she is not truly Tippi creates something of a minor identity crisis. Despite this self-conflict, however, Tiptron still believes she is Tippi and acts as her organic counterpart would. In function, Tiptron differs from Tippi in only one minor way: the pointer she transforms into while tattling enemies rotates at a much slower and more spasmodic pace, while Tippi does so much more smoothly. | Overall, though she was made as an exact replica of Tippi, essentially a replacement, she is able to see through her programming, and this awareness that she is not truly Tippi creates something of a minor identity crisis.
