Lip's Stick

Lip's Stick (, Lip Stick) is an item from that first appeared in Super Smash Bros. Melee.

Origin
Lip's Stick originates from the Japanese puzzle game Panel de Pon, where it is held by the game's protagonist, Lip, on the title screen and in the background of puzzles. In-game, Lip's Stick is referred to generically as a "flower wand".

In Panel de Pon's Vs. Mode, when performing a combo or clearing more than three panels at the same time, a symbol flies over to the opponent's side, immediately followed by the appearance of a garbage block. If the player is playing as Lip, she waves her flower wand at the opponent when this occurs, and the symbol and garbage block are flower-themed. The flower's continued-damage property in Smash may be a reference to the garbage block's interference to the opponent's gameplay.

In Super Smash Bros. Melee
Lip's Stick is classified as a battering item, with the unique side effect of inflicting the flower status upon any fighter struck by it. Tilt and smash attacks cause the item to release "dust", which similarly inflicts the flower effect, but deals less damage and knockback. Repeated use of Lip's Stick and its dust causes the flower to grow, making the effect last longer. However, the item has a limited amount of dust; once it runs out, Lip's Stick can no longer attack from a distance, but can still be used as a battering item. Furthermore, the dust is considered a projectile, and can consequently be reflected and absorbed.

In Super Smash Bros. Brawl
Lip's Stick was first confirmed to return in Super Smash Bros. Brawl when it was shown in a Smash Bros. DOJO!! update concerning Munchlax, behaving the same way as it did in Melee. It can not give the flower effect to the Fighting Alloy Team, although it still deals a considerable amount of knockback when used on them.

In Super Smash Bros. 4
Lip's Stick returns as an item in Super Smash Bros. 4, acting as it did in Melee and Brawl. The damage it deals is now classified as a attack and creates sparkly effects when swung. The equipment of the same name allows the player to equip the item at the start of a match.

In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
Lip's Stick returns as an item in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. Additionally, its appearance is used as the basis for the 's sword when wearing the Lip Outfit alternate costume.

Spirit
Equipping the Lip, Wiggler, Farfetch'd, Agitha, or Daisy Mae support spirits will give the player Lip's Stick at the start of their stock.

Trivia

 * In Brawl, when is afflicted by Lip's Stick and does his side taunt, the flower appears on his cap.
 * Prior to an unknown update in the PAL release of, the trophy for Lip's Stick erroneously identifies its origin as Panel de Pon's Western counterpart, Tetris Attack (where neither Lip nor her wand appeared).
 * Similarly, when the player first obtains the Lip's Stick trophy in Brawl, it unlocks Tetris Attack in the Chronicle.
 * In concept art for Kirby Super Star, a Flower copy ability for Kirby was considered which would have given him a bow (resembling Lip's) and, seemingly, the ability to cause a flower to grow from an enemy's head to damage them. This may have influenced the design of the Lip's Stick item in Smash, as Kirby Super Star was also directed by Masahiro Sakurai.
