| As [[Mario]], [[Princess Peach|Peach]] and [[Tippi]] start off in the basement of [[Merlee's Mansion]] following the events of the previous level, Tippi informs Mario of the [[Pure Heart]] being nearby. Abruptly, [[Merlee]] appears via a magical projection to contact them. She informs them of her being somewhere in the basement, in addition to someone being after her, referring to [[Mimi]]. Just before her feed cuts out and turns to static, she warns them to exert caution when they do find her, foreshadowing what will happen then. | | As [[Mario]] and co. go into [[Merlee]]'s basement, [[Merlee]] contacts them via a magical projection. She tells them that she is hidden in the basement and warns them of potential danger. As [[Mario]] and Peach advance through the mansion, they meet [[Mimi]] disguised as [[Merlee]] wanting to bribe them so they have to work of 10,000,000 [[Rubees]] again. If [[Mario]] and [[Peach]] refuse every offer, [[Mimi]] will turn into her true form and start chasing them across the mansion. [[Mario]] and Peach eventually find [[Merlee]] hidden in a toilet, but [[Mimi]] appears and shape shifts into her. [[Mario]] and Peach then play a [["That's My Merlee!" Show]] to pick out the fake [[Merlee]], but no matter who they choose, [[Mimi]] gets furious and attacks them. A battle ensues, where [[Mario]] and Peach defeat [[Mimi]] and [[Merlee]] gladly gives them the [[Pure Heart]]. |
| | |
| Mario and the others must proceed through the first rooms in this level's maze-like structure. Several of the rooms are similar in design, excluding different enemies and signs to distinguish them. Soon, Mario and the others encounter what appears to be Merlee, who formally introduces herself and offers the Pure Heart in exchange for 10 million [[Rubee]]s. When she asks them to sign a contract, another Merlee appears as an apparition, warning them not to sign said contract. As Mario and Peach decline to sign the contract, the other Merlee offers more conditions before giving up and revealing herself as Mimi. | |
| | |
| Mimi then turns into her true form and proceeds to chase Mario and the others throughout the remainder of the mansion. As Tippi warns, the heroes may not dawdle in a room, as after a certain amount of time, Mimi will find them. Additionally, she is invulnerable and can be neither damaged nor defeated. Eventually, the heroes become locked in a restroom and find the true Merlee in one of the stalls. Unfortunately, at this moment, Mimi enters and turns into Merlee once more. As the heroes are not able to distinguish them, they must play through the [["That's My Merlee!" show]] to determine which one is real and which one is fake. Regardless of whether they are correct or not, Mimi becomes furious and attacks, ensuing a battle. Merlee assists Mario and Peach in defeating Mimi, prior to telling her story along with the Pure Heart.
