I don't think the Lip's Stick being an item is anything to be afraid of. The example with Samus and the Screw Attack has already been mentioned, but if people are suggesting that Lip using her wand when the very same object is an item is impossible (ie. suggesting there is one and only one Lip's Stick), well wouldn't Mario holding said item at the same time as Link finding a Lip's Stick create some sort of impossible time paradox?
Still, even though they could get rid of her wand, I suspect they'd keep it on her, and that the Lip's Stick as an item was just kept for the continuity of the SSB series, as every item in SSB 64 made it to SSBM (the only exception is the Bumper, which was pseudo-replaced by the flipper with near identicle effects and rolls), I wouldn't be surprised if every item in SSBM made it to SSBB. Removing an item to make way for a character just doesn't seem necessary in my opinion ...
