Pippi disappears prior to the events of the game, and [[Ninten]] is asked by her [[Mrs. Lindgren|mother]] and the [[A. Goodman|mayor of Podunk]] to rescue her. After traveling through the [[South Cemetery]], Ninten finds an opening in one of the graves, where Pippi is in the southwestern casket; the others each contain [[PseudoZombi|Pseudo Zombies]]. After opening the casket containing Pippi, she asks Ninten a series of questions, which if answered correctly will yield one of the only two obtainable [[Franklin Badge]]s. After returning her to the mayor, Ninten is given a $100 prize for rescuing her, and a [[Zoo Key]] from [[Abbott]]. If Ninten returns to Pippi's home, he can speak to her to obtain any items that were in her inventory when she left, and she will once again ask the questions required to obtain the Franklin Badge if Ninten previously answered them incorrectly.

After opening the casket containing Pippi, she asks Ninten a series of questions, which if answered correctly will yield one of the only two obtainable [[Franklin Badge]]s. Optionally, before bringing her to the mayor, Ninten can choose to have Pippi accompany him to [[Canary Village]] and obtain [[Laura]]'s melody with her, but this isn't required. After returning her to the mayor, Ninten is given a $100 prize for rescuing her, and a [[Zoo Key]] from [[Abbott]]. If Ninten returns to Pippi's home, he can speak to her to obtain any items that were in her inventory when she left (minus [[Bread Crumbs]]), and she will once again ask the questions required to obtain the Franklin Badge if Ninten previously answered them incorrectly.


She makes a second appearance in the [[swamp]] on the way to [[Ellay]], residing in a house in the center. Ninten and his friends can speak to Pippi for recovery, where she asks Ninten not to tell her mother that she was there.

**As a result, besides PP, Wisdom, and Force, Pippi outranks Ninten in every stat, so many players hold on to her for as long as possible.

*Despite being restricted to such an early section of the game, Pippi can still be present for obtaining two melodies. The first is the one in the broken [[Doll]] at Ninten's house if it was skipped earlier, and the second is from Laura at Canary Village.
*In the Japanese Famicom version of the game only, if Pippi had Bread Crumbs in her inventory when delivered to the mayor, she will be able to return them to Ninten if he speaks to her at her house. If Ninten didn't previously use Bread himself, the game will end up using an invalid value for the destination supposed to be travelled to, resulting in Ninten being transported to a glitchy, grey version of the overworld. To fix this, all subsequent releases of the game were changed so that Pippi will no longer give Ninten her bread crumbs if she had any.
*An unused [[Gang Zombie (unused enemy)|enemy]] in ''Mother'' closely resembles Pippi, for unknown reasons.
