'''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. This presents the problem to the player to amass this much money, as 999 is the highest number of coins the player can hold.
*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.
Tiptron has feminine programming and is designed to resemble 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. She also admits to this when scanning Francis. She seems rather conflicted on her identity, believing herself to be Tippi, but also being aware that she is ''not'' Tippi at the same time, leading her to be rather distressed about the whole thing.
*When tattling Francis, Tiptron at first refers to him as her creator and briefly hesitates before quickly asserting her "true" identity.
{{endspoiler}}
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.

*Before the game's initial release, there were screenshots of [[Nastasia]] and Tiptron floating over her, suggesting that she was Nastasia's personal [[Pixl]], but in the game they don't necessarily encounter at all.

*If the player talks to Francis after buying Tiptron from him, he will state that he is going to create a second model, [[Tiptron Mk. II]].
|
*In the game, he says that he created a robotic model of '''Tippi''', yet he never knew who Tippi was. He still calls Tippi "Francine" if fought at Castle Bleck, and yet he states that Tiptron is a robotic version of Tippi. It is possible that he eventually got round to calling her Tippi after overhearing her name while she conversed with Mario and Co. and after he got over his obssession of kidnapping her.
*'''Card Type:''' Rare
*Tiptron is said to know everything Tippi does, but when Tiptron is pointed at the character, it says "At least I think this is what she would say."
*'''Card Description:''' ''Francis made this 1:1-scale robotic version of Tippi. It's the ultimate rare collectible. Plus, it features realistic Tippi action!''
