'''Flower Fairy Lip''' ({{ja|花の妖精リップ|Hana no Yōsei Rippu}}, ''Flower Fairy Lip''), often simply referred to as '''Lip''' ({{ja|リップ|Rippu}}, ''Lip''), is the main character of ''Panel de Pon''.
''Flower Fairy Lip'' ({{ja|花の妖精リップ|Hana no Yōsei Rippu}}, ''Flower Fairy Lip'') is the main character of ''Panel de Pon'', which was rebranded into ''Tetris Attack'' featuring {{uv|Yoshi}} characters when the game was brought over Internationally. Before her appearance in ''[[Ultimate]]'' as an Assist Spirit in the Spirits mode of the game, she was referenced several times in the series starting in ''[[Melee]]'' as [[Kirby]]'s [[Stone]] move and her signature weapon, the Flower Wand which is an item referred to in the series as [[Lip's Stick]].
 
Lip makes her ''Smash'' debut in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' as an Ace-class support spirit. However, she and her series have been referenced several times in the ''Smash'' series from ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' onward.
 
==Origin==
Lip debuted as the protagonist of the 1995 Japanese puzzle game {{uv|Panel de Pon}}, appearing as the main playable character in the game's single-player story mode. In the story, Lip uses her [[Lip's Stick|flower wand]] and puzzle skills to free the fairies of her world from a curse set by the demon king Thanatos. The true ending reveals that Lip's mother, the goddess Cordelia, was testing Lip's ability to succeed her as the fairy queen. Lip is described as energetic and tomboyish with a fierce sense of justice, vowing to use her flower wand for the forces of good.
 
Due to a stigma relating to female-led video games in the 1990s, ''Panel de Pon'' was rebranded and released overseas as ''{{s|mariowiki|Tetris Attack}}'', with the characters from the first game replaced by those from the {{uv|Yoshi}} series (with earlier plans during localization for it to feature characters from [[Rare]]'s ''Killer Instinct''.<ref>[https://twitter.com/SMWikiOfficial/status/1294653713706037250]</ref>), alongside a Game Boy port which would be re-localized to Japan with ''Yoshi'' characters intact. As such, Lip remained relatively unknown outside of Japan.
 
Lip would become the mascot for the ''Panel de Pon'' franchise as a whole, despite ironically being technically absent for a majority of its installments, such as ''{{s|bulbapedia|Pokémon Puzzle League}}'' for the Nintendo 64 and ''{{s|bulbapedia|Pokémon Puzzle Challenge}}'' for the Game Boy Color, though Lip's stage can be accessed as a secret level in the latter.<ref>[https://tcrf.net/Pok%C3%A9mon_Puzzle_Challenge#Panel_de_Pon_GB Pokémon Puzzle Challenge - The Cutting Room Floor]</ref> She was also absent from the [[GameCube]] title ''{{s|mariowiki|Nintendo Puzzle Collection}}'', this time being replaced by a new cast of fairies. For over a decade, Lip would only receive scattered cameo appearances, such as other [[Intelligent Systems]] franchises like {{uv|Fire Emblem}} and ''{{iw|mariowiki|Paper Mario}}'', as well as a guest in the ''{{iw|mariowiki|Satella-Q}}'' series.
 
Lip would finally make a prominent appearance also plays an important role in the Japan-only 2008 [[Wii]] release ''{{s|mariowiki|Captain Rainbow}}'', in which she dreams of becoming a magician.
 
The first known international reference to Lip or her universe outside of ''Smash'' was the "Flower Fairy" costume set in the ''Animal Crossing: New Leaf - Welcome amiibo'' update. This set, which does not otherwise reference Lip by name, can be earned by the player's [[Villager]] through clearing milestones in the ''{{s|nookipedia|Animal Crossing: Puzzle League}}'' minigame. She would later make her first formal international appearance outside of ''Smash'' upon the release of her origin game on the ''Nintendo Switch Online'' service in May 2020.

While Lip doesn't appear in this game, her signature Lip's Stick makes its debut as an item in the game; the Lip's Stick [[List_of_SSBM_trophies_(Others)|trophy]] would be the only time it would mention her in this game as subsequent installments of the Super Smash Bros. Series would go on to only describe the function of the item. The 2nd reference to her was in Kirby's [[Stone]] Move, which her Garbage Block is one of the possible designs he can turn into in this game. When a fan asked Sakurai if she was going to be in the game, he replied that he wondered how much people would know her but he personally thought that "''Panel de Pon'' is a great piece of work." and recommended people to play the game if they don't know her.<ref>https://www.sourcegaming.info/2015/03/30/smash-reader-response-page-9-meaning-behind-smash-logo-lip-ice-climbers-and-balloon-fight</ref>
Lip's signature flower wand debuts in ''Melee'' as the [[Lip's Stick]] item. The item inflicts the [[Flower]] status upon hitting an enemy, causing gradual damage for a short amount of time. The Lip's Stick [[List_of_SSBM_trophies_(Others)|trophy]] would be the only mention of Lip's name in the series until ''Ultimate''.
 
Additionally, Lip's Garbage Block serves as one of Kirby's random [[Stone]] transformations.

Lip originates from the Japanese puzzle game {{uv|Panel de Pon}}, which was released overseas as ''{{s|supermariowiki|Tetris Attack}}'' with its characters replaced by characters from ''Yoshi's Island''. She is a flower fairy, and the protagonist of ''Panel de Pon''. She appears on the title screen and in the background of puzzles.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*When a fan asked ''Smash'' series director [[Masahiro Sakurai]] if Lip would appear in the series, Sakurai replied that, while he enjoyed ''Panel de Pon'', he was unsure how many people would recognize Lip as a character.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.sourcegaming.info/2015/03/30/smash-reader-response-page-9-meaning-behind-smash-logo-lip-ice-climbers-and-balloon-fight/
*In some of the internal files that refers to Lip, they would be labelled as Rip most likely because of her Japanese pronunciation of her name Rippu, for example her signature weapon in the files of ''Brawl'' and ''SSB4'' is called RipStick and the [[flower]] effect would be called RipStickFlower. In ''Captain Rainbow'''s files she would be referred to "Rip".
|title=Smash Reader Response Page 9: Meaning behind Smash Logo, Lip, Ice Climbers and Balloon Fight |accessdate=2019-10-06 |date=2015-03-15 |publisher=SourceGaming.info (original Japanese publication on ''Sumabura-Ken!!'') |quote=Lip. I wonder what percentage of people know her. But it’s my personal opinion that ''Panel de Pon'' is a great piece of work. For those of you who don’t know, if you have a chance please try it.}}</ref>
*Before she had a Mii Outfit in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'', her outfit, hair, boots and wand was also available for the [[Villager]] to wear in the ''Animal Crossing: New Leaf - Welcome Amiibo'' update on November 2, 2016 but it does it in its own manner. All of the items relating to her in that game does not mention her but it goes under the "Fairy Flower" name.
*Some internal files that refer to Lip are labeled as "Rip", most likely because of the Japanese pronunciation of her name ("Rippu"). For example, the files of ''Brawl'' and ''SSB4'' refer to [[Lip's Stick]] as "RipStick", and the [[flower]] effect is labeled "RipStickFlower". In ''Captain Rainbow''<nowiki>'s</nowiki> files, she is also referred to as "Rip".
**In her Mii outfit, there was a blue belt around the waist of her outfit, however it is not present in the artwork they used for Lip's Spirit in ''Ultimate''. This also applies to a couple of her official renders in ''Panel de Pon'' and the Fairy Flower dress in ''Animal Crossing: New Leaf - Welcome Amiibo'' which lacks a blue belt.
*Since Lip is the basis of a costume for {{SSBU|Mii Swordfighter}}s, the weapon used for the sword is her flower wand, Lip's Stick. This is one of two items to be used as a costume's weapon without carrying the properties of the item, the other being the SSB T-shirt's [[Beam Sword]].
**Additionally, the same official render they used for her Spirit in ''Ultimate'' has a white part on the end of her sleeves. The Mii outfit lacks this part on the ends of her sleeves. The white part on the end of Lip's sleeves would also be missing in her some of her official artwork from ''Panel de Pon'', and the sprites in the game due to the size of some sprites. The white part of the sleeves is visible in the Fairy Flower dress in ''Animal Crossing: New Leaf - Welcome Amiibo''. Its the same case for the white ends on the part of her skirt.
*Lip's Mii Outfit in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'' has some differences with the artwork used for Lip's Spirit, including details that are instead present in other official artwork of Lip from ''Panel de Pon''. In particular, there is a blue belt around the waist of the skirt, and the white accents on the ends of the sleeves and skirt are missing.
**Similarly, in some of the official ''Panel de Pon'' artwork, her boots would lack the flower emblem, which is missing in her background sprite in the single mode gameplay modes. The flowers on her boots in the menu sprite in of game is present only on her right boot, while being absent in the official artwork render of her sitting on a flower. The flowers are in the Mii outfit and the Fairy Flower boots in Animal Crossing: New Leaf - Welcome Amiibo.
*Lip appeared alongside [[Birdo]], [[Little Mac]], [[Takamaru]], the [[Devil]] from {{uv|Devil World}}, [[Infantry and Tanks|soldiers]] from {{uv|Nintendo Wars}}, and a [[Piranha Plant]] in ''{{s|mariowiki|Captain Rainbow}}''.
*In ''Captain Rainbow'', Lip has a [[Piranha Plant]] on her garden, which is a playable character in ''Ultimate'' via DLC.
*''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'' marks Lip's first formal appearance outside of Japan. This does not include the unfinished ''Panel de Pon GB'' Easter egg in ''Pokémon Puzzle Challenge'', her sticker in ''Brawl'' (which is another character, Furil), or her costume appearing in ''Animal Crossing: New Leaf - Welcome amiibo''.
*There was going to be 2nd game that was going to star Lip, which was ''Panel de Pon GB''. It would have starred the fairy cast from the first game, but it was scrapped in favor of the ''Pokémon'' variant that was ''Pokémon Puzzle Challenge''.
*After her debut game, she was relegated to Japan-only cameos. (Outside of the ''Super Smash Bros. Series'') In ''Panel de Pon DS'' (and ''Chotto Panel de Pon''), she cameos as an unlockable stage only in this version of the game, while the ''Puzzle League'' versions of the game such as ''Planet Puzzle League'' (and ''Puzzle League Express'') makes the stage inaccessible without a [https://tcrf.net/Planet_Puzzle_League cheating device].
**Another non-Smash appearance of Lip was ''Captain Rainbow'' which also released only in Japan.
**She also appears in ''BS Panel de Pon - Event '98'' which features the fairy cast from the first game but her stage is [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ae_tVN1j0Kg&t=29s skipped] in the 1-player game with the first stage being Windy instead, which meant its technically a cameo for her in this game as she is not playable.
* ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'' marks Lip's first official appearance outside of Japan, discounting the [https://tcrf.net/Pok%C3%A9mon_Puzzle_Challenge#Panel_de_Pon_GB ''Panel de Pon GB''] easter egg from ''Pokémon Puzzle Challenge'' (which was discovered 13 years later after the game's original release).
