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" ({{ja|はなのつえ|hana no tsue}}).
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" ({{ja|はなのつえ|hana no tsue}}). In ''Smash Bros.'', its name is both a literal description (a stick owned by Lip) and a pun on "lipstick".


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.

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 attack]]s 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 [[reflect]]ed and [[absorb]]ed.
