==Origin==
==Origin==
[[File:Panel de Pon title screen.png|left|thumb|150px|The title screen of ''Panel de Pon'' featuring Lip holding her flower wand.]]
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.

(This page's introduction quote)</ref> ''Panel de Pon'' was rebranded and released overseas as ''{{s|supermariowiki|Tetris Attack}}'', with its characters from the first game replaced by those from the ''{{uv|Yoshi}}'' series. As such, Lip remained relatively unknown outside of Japan.


Five years later, ''Panel de Pon'' was adapted once again into the ''{{uv|Pokémon}}'' universe as ''{{s|bulbapedia|Pokémon Puzzle Challenge}}'' for the Game Boy Color. The game was originally going to be ''Panel de Pon GB'' and would have starred Lip and the fairy cast from the first game, but that plan was scrapped in favor of the ''Pokémon'' variant. However, 13 years after the game's original release, it was discovered that Lip's Stage could be secretly accessed using specific button commands.<ref>https://tcrf.net/Pok%C3%A9mon_Puzzle_Challenge#Panel_de_Pon_GB</ref>
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.

When Nintendo released the Japan-only ''{{s|supermariowiki|Nintendo Puzzle Collection}}'' in 2003 for the GameCube, the fairy aesthetic of ''Panel de Pon'' returned, but with an almost entirely new cast. Lip was replaced with a similar but distinct-looking character, Furil, who uses Lip's stage, element and theme. Lip's theme can be heard in the 2005 release of ''Dr. Mario & Puzzle League'', and Lip would return as a cameo in the Japanese releases of 2007's ''Planet Puzzle League'' and 2009's ''Puzzle League Express''.<ref>https://tcrf.net/Planet_Puzzle_League</ref>

Flower Fairy Lip (花の妖精リップ, Flower Fairy Lip), often simply referred to as Lip (リップ, Lip), is the main character of Panel de Pon.

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[edit]

Lip debuted as the protagonist of the 1995 Japanese puzzle game Panel de Pon, appearing as the main playable character in the game's single-player story mode. In the story, Lip uses her 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 Tetris Attack, with the characters from the first game replaced by those from the Yoshi series (with earlier plans during localization for it to feature characters from Rare's Killer Instinct.[1]), 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 Pokémon Puzzle League for the Nintendo 64 and Pokémon Puzzle Challenge for the Game Boy Color, though Lip's stage can be accessed as a secret level in the latter.[2] She was also absent from the GameCube title 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 Fire Emblem and Paper Mario, as well as a guest in the Satella-Q series.

Lip would finally make a prominent appearance also plays an important role in the Japan-only 2008 Wii release 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 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.

In Super Smash Bros. Melee[edit]

Lip's Stick in Melee.

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 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.

In Super Smash Bros. Brawl[edit]

Kirby's Stone transformation into Lip's Garbage Block in Brawl.

Lip's Stick returns as an item in Brawl, along with Kirby's Stone transformation as Lip's Garbage Block. The PictoChat stage also features a remix of Lip's theme.

In non-Japanese versions of the game, Furil's sticker is listed under the name "Flower Fairy Lip" from Nintendo Puzzle Collection.

In Super Smash Bros. 4[edit]

Kirby's Stone transformation into Lip's Garbage Block in Smash 4.

The Lip's Stick item and Kirby's Stone transformation as Lip's Garbage Block both return in Smash 4. The Lip's Theme remix only returns in the Wii U version of the game, this time on the Wrecking Crew stage.

In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate[edit]

All of the references to Lip in Ultimate

Lip finally makes her first on-screen Smash appearance in the Spirits mode of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate as a Support spirit. She is also the basis for a costume for Mii Swordfighters, which is unlocked from the start, while her wig headgear must be unlocked. She is also available as a friend icon.

Lip's Stick returns as an item, as does Kirby's Stone transformation as Lip's Garbage Block. The Brawl remix of Lip's Theme also returns in this game, and the Flower effect was redesigned to match the title screen of Panel de Pon.

Trivia[edit]

  • 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.[3]
  • 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's files, she is also referred to as "Rip".
  • Since Lip is the basis of a costume for Mii Swordfighters, 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.
  • 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.
  • Lip appeared alongside Birdo, Little Mac, Takamaru, the Devil from Devil World, soldiers from Nintendo Wars, and a Piranha Plant in Captain Rainbow.
  • 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.
