Lip's Stick

Lip's Stick.

Lip's Stick is an item that appears in both SSBM and SSBB. Originating from the Japanese puzzle game Panel de Pon, it was wielded by main character Lip.

In SSBM

In Super Smash Bros. Melee, Lip's Stick is classified as a bashing item with a very helpful side effect; when a character is struck by the item, a flower sprouts on their head that does continual damage. Tilt and smash attacks cause the item to release "dust" that has the same effect of flower growth, but doesn't do as much damage. Repeated use of the item, as well as tilts and smashes with the item, cause the flower to grow bigger, making it longer lasting and thus dealing more damage. The item itself, however, has very little knockback, and the item has a limited amount of dust with which to grow flowers; once the dust runs out, the item becomes practically useless. The flower on top of a player's head can also be shaken off by repeated smashing of the Control Stick.

On February 3, 2008, the SLAPAHO team discovered that Lip's Stick can be turned into a SLAPASTICK. See the respective page for more details.

In SSBB

Lip's Stick was shown in a Smash Bros. Dojo update concerning Munchlax.
A subsequent update has shown that a continual flower on the head can be selected in the Special Brawl update.
