Tippi, previously known as Lady Timpani, is Mario's guide throughout Super Paper Mario. She is the first pixl Mario gets and accompanies him through his entire adventure.

Tippi has the Tattle ability, like Goombario did in Paper Mario and Goombella did in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. If the player points to the screen with the Wii Remote, a cursor will appear. If the player puts the cursor over an item, Tippi can tell the player about that item. If the player is stuck in the game, they may put the cursor over Mario and Tippi can help by giving the player some tips.
