Lee

Lee
Species	Duplighost
First appearance	Paper Mario (2000)

Lee is a Duplighost and a student at the Toad Town Dojo, as seen in Paper Mario. He trains under the Master with the Buzzy Beetle Chan. Lee is the Master's most advanced student and acts like an older brother to Chan, the weakest student. Lee also has deep respect for the Master, but does not worship him like Chan does. He is the Master's most advanced student, and beating him earns the Second-Degree Card. His blanket has an unique pattern modeled after the Biao Yan Fu, a uniform traditionally used in Kung Fu training. Lee's name comes from the name of the martial artist/movie star Bruce Lee.

Powers and abilities

Lee (as Goombario) using Tattle on Mario

Since Lee is a Duplighost, he has the ability to transform into Mario's partner. Using this ability, Lee acquires the appearance, skills, and (to a certain degree) offensive and defensive capabilities of the copied party member. However, Lee has a higher attack in his normal form than in any copied form. Additionally, he will only assume the form of Mario's current companion. Lee will attack as many times as Mario's partner attacks if the Action Command is used, meaning Mario needs to defend that many times. For example, if Lee copies Goombario, Lee will attack twice when using the skill Headbonk because Goombario attacks twice with Headbonk when he uses the Action Command.

Tattle	It's Lee disguised as me. His Max HP is 20. Do I really look like that? No way... He'll use Headbonk and Tattle. He has the same skills as me. Of course, I'm much better looking and more debonair. And I hope that I'm stronger!

Tattle	This is Lee disguised as Kooper. His Max HP is 20. Lee has disguised himself as Kooper perfectly, so his attack power is the same as Kooper's usual power. Just like Kooper, he attacks with his shell. If you flip him over, you'll beat him with ease. Incidentally, Lee's red scarf and wristband look cooler than Kooper's. ...Don't tell Kooper I said that, though.

Tattle	This is Lee disguised as Parakarry. His Max HP is 20. Lee has disguised himself as Parakarry perfectly, so his attack power is the same as Parakarry's usual power. He's usually slow, but once he's in battle, he's a whirlwind of feet and feathers. He's a sight to behold in the heat of battle. To tell the truth, I think he's the most intimidating one on our team!

Tattle	This is Lee disguised as Sushie. His Max HP is 20. Sushie looks tough! Think she'd be mad if she heard that? Lee has disguised himself as Sushie perfectly, so his attack power is the same as Sushie's usual power. I'm not too thrilled to have to fight Sushie. She's strong!

Paper Mario enemy
Lakilester??? (Lee)

		Items	N/A	Run	0	Location(s)	Toad Town Dojo
Tattle	This is Lee disguised as Lakilester. His Max HP is 20. If I remember our battle with the real Lakilester correctly, this one seems to be weaker. Lee has disguised himself as Lakilester perfectly, so his attack power is the same as Lakilester's usual power. Dodging that Spiny Flip is tough, so pay attention.

If Lee disguises as Goombario, he can use Tattle, which is shown below.

• "It's Mario, silly! He's here to save Princess Peach, who was kidnapped by Bowser. Remember? He fights until the bitter end, no matter what enemies attack."

Field Tattle

• "He's one of the trainees who's always at the Dojo. His name is Lee. He's like an older brother to Chan. Lee respects The Master above all else and hangs on every word he says."

Trivia

• When Mario loses all of his HP during his battle with Lee, he does not get a Game Over. Instead, he will be sent back to the field with only 1 HP remaining.
