Tiptron
- “He constructed me...constructed...me...NO! Nobody constructed me! I'm Tippi!”
- —Tiptron, Super Paper Mario
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 coins, 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 they can only buy one item beforehand, or they cannot get enough coins. Also, 999 is the highest number of coins a player can get, meaning the player will be unable to buy any items for a period.
Tiptron is referred to as a girl (despite being a robot), and is made to look like Tippi. The robot thinks "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. It admits to not being Tippi when it points to the player, it thanks the gamer for saving the world, ended by an uncertain "At least, that's what I think she'd say...", referring to Tippi.
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.
