On the right of the mansion is a hard block on the ground. Above it is an Invisible Block that reveals a ladder up to a platform. Using Peach's parasol, the player can float to the mansion's roof to find a chest containing a [[Stop Watch]]. From there, they can jump to the balcony to get a [[Cursya]] [[Catch Card|Card]]. | On the right of the mansion is a hard block on the ground.

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.

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 Co. They enter the door and continue into the mansion. | ||

Block]] with a vase on it. They hit the [[block]], but the vase falls off and breaks. [[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 discovers 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 [[Rubee]]s. 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]]. | ||

*Merlee's Mansion is in appearance quite similar to the many incarnations of [[Boo's Mansion]], not to mention [[Luigi's Mansion (place)|Luigi's Mansion]]. | |||
*The music of Merlee's Mansion has several interludes full of altered versions of Mimi's theme, however the theme of Merlee herself is never heard throughout the entirety of Chapter 2. | |||
*In 2-3, it is possible to pay off all 1,000,000 Rubees without the vault, but the player still cannot advance to 2-4 without [[Slim]]. | |||
