Chapter 2-4: The Basement Face-Off
Storyline text The mysterious handmaid Mimi disappeared in a bizarre explosion...

What exactly was her plan, and why did she try to enslave Mario and friends?

''After the incident, Princess Peach notice stairs going down. "Here we go!" she said.''

"I wonder if Merlee is down here?" thought our heroes as they traded worried glances...''

The two solemnly made their way down, knowing there was no other path to follow.

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 advances through the mansion, he meets Mimi disguised as Merlee wanting to bribe him so he has to work of 10,000,000 Rubees again. If Mario refuses every offer, Mimi will turn into her true form and start chasing him across the mansion. Mario eventually finds Merlee hidden in a toilet, but Mimi appears and shape shifts into her. Mario then plays a "That's My Merlee!" Show to pick out the fake Merlee, but no matter who he chooses, Mimi gets furious and attacks him. A battle ensues, where Mario defeats Mimi and Merlee gladly gives him the Pure Heart.

Storyline text Count Bleck's servant Mimi had laid a nasty trap for Mario and friends...

But with the help of Merlee, faithful defender of the Pure Heart, the day was won.

With five Pure Hearts yet to be found, Mario knew this adventure had only begun...
