Lee is aDuplighost and a student at theToad Town Dojo, as seen inPaper Mario. He trains underthe Master with theBuzzy BeetleChan. Lee is the Master's most advanced student and acts like an older brother to Chan, the weakest student. Lee also has deep respect for the Master, but does not worship him like Chan does. He is the Master's most advanced student, and beating him earns theSecond-Degree Card. His blanket has an unique pattern modeled after theBiao Yan Fu, a uniform traditionally used in kung fu training. Lee's name comes from martial artist and actorBruce Lee.
IfMario loses all of hisHP during his battle with Lee, he does not get aGame Over; instead, he is sent back to the field with only 1 HP remaining.
Powers and abilities[edit]
Since Lee is a Duplighost, he has the ability to transform into one of Mario'spartners. Using this ability, Lee acquires the appearance, skills, and (to a certain degree) offensive and defensive capabilities of the copied party member. However, Lee has a higher attack in his normal form than in any copied form. Additionally, he will only assume the form of Mario's current companion. Lee will attack as many times as Mario's partner attacks if theAction Command is used, meaning Mario needs to defend that many times. For example, if Lee copiesGoombario, Lee will attack twice when using the skill Headbonk because Goombario attacks twice with Headbonk when he uses the Action Command.

| Tattle | It's Lee disguised as me. His Max HP is 20. Do I really look like that? No way... He'll use Headbonk and Tattle. He has the same skills as me. Of course, I'm much better looking and more debonair. And I hope that I'm stronger! |

Just like Kooper, he attacks with his shell. If you flip him over, you'll beat him with ease.

To tell the truth, I think he's the most intimidating one on our team! |

| Tattle | This is Lee disguised as Lakilester. His Max HP is 20. If I remember our battle with the real Lakilester correctly, this one seems to be weaker. Lee has disguised himself as Lakilester perfectly, so his attack power is the same as Lakilester's usual power. Dodging that Spiny Flip is tough, so pay attention. |
- If Lee disguises as Goombario, he can use Tattle, which is shown below.
- "It's Mario, silly! He's here to savePrincess Peach, who was kidnapped byBowser. Remember? He fights until the bitter end, no matter what enemies attack."
Field Tattle[edit]
- "He's one of the trainees who's always at the Dojo. His name is Lee. He's like an older brother toChan. Lee respectsThe Master above all else and hangs on every word he says."
