| '''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 [[List of implied characters#Tiptron Mk. II|Tiptron Mk. II]].

| 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]]. However, there are several occasions where she demonstrates some awareness that she is not the real Tippi: | | '''Tiptron''' is a robotic version of [[Tippi]], a partner of [[Mario]] in the game ''[[Super Paper Mario]]''. At the end of the game, [[Count Bleck]] and Tippi marry each other to stop [[The Void]] and the player can no longer use Tippi. However, it is revealed that [[Francis]] made Tiptron; and for 999 [[coin]]s, he'll sell it to [[Mario]], allowing the player to use Tippi's abilities again. The problems this presents for a player are that to get this much money. Also, 999 is the highest number of coins a player can get. |
| *If the player uses her to [[tattle]] themselves, she thanks them for saving all worlds before adding, "...At least, that's what I think she would say..."
| |
| *[[Merlon]] initially believes she is Tippi as well, and addresses her as such, causing Tiptron to stutter and appear flustered by the concept.
| |
| *When tattling Francis, Tiptron at first refers to him as her creator and briefly hesitates before quickly asserting her "true" identity.
| |
| 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.

| | Tiptron has feminine programing and looks a lot like Tippi. Tiptron likes to think she is Tippi, and speaks exactly like her, albeit in a more electronic looking speech box, similar to [[TEC-XX]] from ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''. She admits to not being Tippi when she tattles on the [[player]], she thanks [[Mario]], [[Princess Peach]], [[Bowser]] and [[Luigi]] for saving the world, ended by "At least, that's what I think '''she'd''' say...", referring to Tippi. |
