The mansion's entryway is protected by two [[Gnip]]s, who will throw Mario and Peach out of the house if they catch them. Beyond them is Merlee's crystal ball and some curtains. Mario's flip reveals a door behind the curtains. In the next room, there is a [[Save Block]] and [[Mimi]], as well as two groups of doors, three on the bottom floor and three on the top floor. The door on the far right bottom is locked. [[Gnaw]], a giant Gnip, is chained to this door. Mimi tells Mario that Merlee is on the top far right door and warns him not to go into any other rooms. The other rooms are filled with traps that get Mario nowhere. The far right room is empty except for a button on the far right of it. The button activates bars on the windows and causes the spiky ceiling to descend. Using Mario's flip, the player must ride the ceiling up like an elevator. | The mansion's entryway is protected by two [[Gnip]]s, who will throw Mario and Peach out of the house if they catch them.

The area the elevator leads to has a [[? Block]] on the right and a platform leading up to another level on the left. The top level has alternating walls of [[Brick Block]]s and hard blocks. [[Boomer (Super Paper Mario)|Boomer]] can destroy the bricks, but Mario's flip must be used to get past the hard blocks. At the far right is a chest with the key to the locked door in the main room. Unlocking the door also frees Gnaw, who goes after Mimi, much to the surprise and confusion of Mario and | The area the elevator leads to has a [[?

[[Mimi]] rushes in and forces [[Mario]] and [[Princess Peach|Peach]] to pay her 1,000,000 [[Rubee]]s as a consequence for breaking the vase. Unable to pay they are forced to work off their debt. They also discover some other men who fell for the same trick and are now [[Mimi]]'s prisoners. There is a normal generator room where workers should hit blocks repeatedly to earn Rubees, and another VIP room where workers can run in wheels to make volts to earn Rubees faster. The password to the VIP room is 5963. This password can be traded from a worker for 100 Rubees. Mario and Peach soon learn of a secret [[Rubee]] vault hidden away in the attic. With the help of a newly-acquired [[Pixl]], [[Slim (Pixl)|Slim]], Mario and Peach reach the vault which has 1,000,000 Rubees. These Rubees are held in a safe with the password 41262816. This password is heard from Mimi sleeptalking by a worker and can be traded for 10,000 Rubees. Eventually Mario/Peach pays off their debt to a shocked Mimi, who explodes out of anger. Mario and Peach now advance further into the mansion by entering [[Merlee's Basement]], hoping to find Merlee. | ||
