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 ''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. | 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.

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 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.
