==Origin==
==Origin==
Lip debuted as the protagonist of the 1995 Japanese puzzle game {{uv|Panel de Pon}}, appearing as the main playable character in the game's single-player story mode. In the story, Lip uses her [[Lip's Stick|flower wand]] and puzzle skills to free the fairies of her world from a curse set by the demon king Thanatos. The true ending reveals that Lip's mother, the goddess Cordelia, was testing Lip's ability to succeed her as the fairy queen. Due to a stigma relating to female-led video games in the 1990s, ''Panel de Pon'' was rebranded and released overseas as ''{{s|mariowiki|Tetris Attack}}'', with the characters from the first game replaced by those from the {{uv|Yoshi}} series (with earlier plans during localization for it to feature characters from [[Rare]]'s ''Killer Instinct''.<ref>[https://twitter.com/SMWikiOfficial/status/1294653713706037250]</ref>), alongside a Game Boy port which would be re-localized to Japan with ''Yoshi'' characters intact. As such, Lip remained relatively unknown outside of Japan.

As such, Lip remained relatively unknown outside of Japan.


Five years later, ''Panel de Pon'' was adapted into the {{uv|Pokémon}} universe as ''{{s|bulbapedia|Pokémon Puzzle League}}'' for the Nintendo 64 and ''{{s|bulbapedia|Pokémon Puzzle Challenge}}'' for the Game Boy Color. Both games were intended to have have starred Lip and the fairy cast from the first game, but that plan was scrapped in favor of the ''Pokémon'' variants. 13 years after the original release of ''Puzzle Challenge'', it was discovered that Lip's Stage could be secretly accessed using specific button commands.<ref>[https://tcrf.net/Pok%C3%A9mon_Puzzle_Challenge#Panel_de_Pon_GB Pokémon Puzzle Challenge - The Cutting Room Floor]</ref>
Five years later, ''Panel de Pon'' was adapted once again into the ''{{uv|Pokémon}}'' universe as ''{{s|bulbapedia|Pokémon Puzzle Challenge}}'' for the Game Boy Color. The game was originally going to be ''Panel de Pon GB'' and would have starred Lip and the fairy cast from the first game, but that plan was scrapped in favor of the ''Pokémon'' variant. However, 13 years after the game's original release, it was discovered that Lip's Stage could be secretly accessed using specific button commands.<ref>https://tcrf.net/Pok%C3%A9mon_Puzzle_Challenge#Panel_de_Pon_GB</ref>
 
When Nintendo released the Japan-only ''{{s|mariowiki|Nintendo Puzzle Collection}}'' in 2003 for the GameCube, the fairy aesthetic of ''Panel de Pon'' returned, but with an almost entirely new cast. Lip was replaced with a similar-looking but distinct character, Furil, who uses Lip's stage, element, and theme - the ''Puzzle Collection'' release was in fact built off of an unreleased prototype version of ''Pokémon Puzzle League'' using the fairy characters. <ref>[https://youtu.be/kANs1LYAm4c]</ref> Lip's theme can be heard in the 2005 release of ''Dr. Mario & Puzzle League'', and while 2007's ''Planet Puzzle League'' and 2009's ''Puzzle League Express'' did not feature the fairy characters prominently even for their Japanese release, there was a Lip stage skin in the Japanese versions of the games.<ref>[https://tcrf.net/Planet_Puzzle_League Planet Puzzle League - The Cutting Room Floor]</ref>
 
Lip also plays an important role in the Japan-only 2008 release ''{{s|mariowiki|Captain Rainbow}}'', in which she dreams of becoming a magician.
 
The first known international reference to Lip or her universe outside of ''Smash'' was the "Flower Fairy" costume set in the ''Animal Crossing: New Leaf - Welcome amiibo'' update. This set, which does not otherwise reference Lip by name, can be earned by the player's [[Villager]] through clearing milestones in the ''{{s|nookipedia|Animal Crossing: Puzzle League}}'' minigame. She would later make her first formal international appearance outside of ''Smash'' upon the release of her origin game on the ''Nintendo Switch Online'' service in May 2020.

Lip's signature flower wand debuts in ''Melee'' as the [[Lip's Stick]] item. The item inflicts the [[Flower]] status upon hitting an enemy, causing gradual damage for a short amount of time. The Lip's Stick [[List_of_SSBM_trophies_(Others)|trophy]] would be the only mention of Lip's name in the series until ''Ultimate''.

*When a fan asked ''Smash'' series director [[Masahiro Sakurai]] if Lip would appear in the series, Sakurai replied that, while he enjoyed ''Panel de Pon'', he was unsure how many people would recognize Lip as a character.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.sourcegaming.info/2015/03/30/smash-reader-response-page-9-meaning-behind-smash-logo-lip-ice-climbers-and-balloon-fight/
*When a fan asked ''Smash'' series director [[Masahiro Sakurai]] if Lip would appear in the series, Sakurai replied that he wondered how much people would know her, but thought that "''Panel de Pon'' is a great piece of work" and recommended people to play the game if they don't know her.<ref>https://www.sourcegaming.info/2015/03/30/smash-reader-response-page-9-meaning-behind-smash-logo-lip-ice-climbers-and-balloon-fight</ref>

*Some internal files that refer to Lip are labeled as Rip, most likely because of the Japanese pronunciation of her name ("Rippu"). For example, the files of ''Brawl'' and ''SSB4'' refer to [[Lip's Stick]] as RipStick, and the [[flower]] effect is labeled RipStickFlower. In ''Captain Rainbow'''s files, she is also referred to as "Rip".

In ''Captain Rainbow''<nowiki>'s</nowiki> files, she is also referred to as "Rip".
*Since Lip is the basis a costume for {{SSBU|Mii Swordfighter}}s, the weapon used for the sword is her Flower Wand, Lip's Stick. This is the only item in the series to be used as a weapon included with a costume without carrying the properties of the item.

*Lip's Mii Outfit in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'' has some differences with the artwork used for Lip's Spirit, which are instead present in other official artwork of Lip from ''Panel de Pon''. In particular, there is a blue belt around the waist of the skirt, and the white accents on the ends of the sleeves and skirt are missing.
