"That's My Merlee!" show

The '"That's My Merlee!" Show' is a quiz show seen in Super Paper Mario. It is a type of game show, hosted by The InterNed, which makes the player try to find out which Merlee is real or not after Mimi makes herself look identical to Merlee.

The contestant asks both Merlees a total of five questions. The player must read the text carefully to find out if she's real or not. After asking five questions, the player gets to pick the right Merlee. Mario was in the annual sixty-sixth show, proving that it has past episodes, and also showing that Merlee is presumably very easy to impostor, apparently being impersonated annually.

The answers that the Merlees say are not the only way of finding who's the real one. When Mario gets to pick who the real one is, the real one will have a fly flying around her, since she was previously in a toilet.

It really does not make any difference who the player picks; whether Mario picks Merlee or Mimi, the battle with Mimi will commence, and Merlee will dispel Mimi's barrier so she can be damaged.

Trivia

 * Depending on the question asked, the answer can point to either Mimi or Merlee being fake. Such as when Mario asks 'Best Feature?', Mimi will say 'effervescent personality' and Merlee will say 'ear lobes'. That question points to Mimi being real.
 * A tell-tale sign of who the real Merlee is, when asked "What's the best animal" Mimi says "a demon".
 * The entire format of the game show is interestingly similar to the quiz show ran by two Thwomps in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. It is interesting to note as well that the Thwomps' quiz episode numbers are very similar and identical (depending on the Thwomp in question) to those of the one "That's My Merlee!" Show; the only seen "That's My Merlee!" Show episode was the sixty-sixth episode while the Thwomps' Super Fun Quirk Quizzes were episodes sixty-five and sixty-six.
 * The number 66 may be a smart reference to the 64th Trivia Quiz-off and the fact it is two games later, even though it should be the 67th, since Paper Mario had the 64th and Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door had the 65th and 66th.
 * The official Super Paper Mario Prima Games Guide states that only three questions can be asked during the show, as opposed to five.
