Lip's Stick



Lip's Stick is an item from the puzzle game Panel de Pon (released only in Japan), wielded by main character Lip. It also appears as a usable item in both SSBM and SSBB.

In SSBM
In Super Smash Bros. Melee, Lip's Stick is classified as a bashing item with a very helpful side effect; when a character is struck by the item, a flower sprouts on their head that does continual damage. Tilt and smash attacks cause the item to release "dust" that has the same effect of flower growth, but doesn't do as much damage. Repeated use of the item, as well as tilts and smashes with the item, cause the flower to grow bigger, making it longer lasting and thus dealing more damage. The item itself, however, has very little knockback, and the item has a limited amount of dust with which to grow flowers; once the dust runs out, the item becomes practically useless. The flower on top of a player's head can also be shaken off by repeated smashing of the Control Stick. The only attack that does not cause a flower to grow is Mewtwo's dash attack.

On February 3, 2008, the SLAPAHO team discovered that Lip's Stick can be turned into a SLAPASTICK. See the respective page for more details.

In SSBB
Lip's Stick was first confirmed to be return in Super Smash Bros. Brawl when it was shown in a Smash Bros. DOJO!! update concerning Munchlax. It behaves the same way in Brawl as it does in Melee. Also, one of the Special Brawl options is flower for the head status.
