'''Mimi''' is a villain in the [[Wii]] game ''[[Super Paper Mario]]''. She is one of [[Count Bleck]]'s [[Count Bleck's Army|main lackeys]], and has the appearance of a innocent girl, though she has a violent and cruel temper. She possesses the ability to shape-shift, often taking the disguises of [[Merlee (Super Paper Mario)|Merlee]] and other characters. | |||
Mimi's name derives from the word "mimic", which fits in with her ability to copy others, and possibly "me", as she has a very self-centered personality. | |||

Mimi first appears in the game ''Super Paper Mario'' during the a meeting of Count Bleck's minions which occurs after Mario enters the door to Chapter 1. However, Mimi's name and her actual form is not seen in this cutscene, as she uses her transformative abilities to appear like various different characters. She first takes upon [[O'Chunks]]'s form, and, due to this being the introduction to the villians, seems like she really is the bulky minion, until the real O'Chunks pops in. Then, she takes upon Count Bleck's form to scold O'Chunks, [[Princess Peach]]'s form to accept the Count's compliment on her shape-shifting, then [[Bowser]]'s form to yell at [[Dimentio]] for reading her diary (a reference to the first ''[[Paper Mario]]''). | |||
[[Mario]] and Peach first encounter Mimi in her normal form when they reach [[Merlee's Mansion]] in Chapter 2-2. Unbeknown to the heroes, Mimi had been sent there by Count Bleck to defeat them before they can obtain the next [[Pure Heart]], which Merlee has taken with her into hiding. Taking the guise of Merlee's handmaid, Mimi makes her first attempt on Mario and Peach's lives when she tells them that Merlee is in the room above them. When the heroes enter the room, the door is covered by bars and the roof begins to lower. Mario escapes the trap by flipping into 3-D, and continues his search for Merlee, He and Peach eventually release Merlee's pet, [[Gnaw]], which chases Mimi away. | |||

In Chapter 2-3, Mimi orders Mario and Peach to work off a debt of one million [[Rubee]]s after they break a vase. Using their new [[Pixl]] friend, [[Slim]], they discover a secret stash of Rubees, allowing them to pay off the debt. This causes Mimi to go into a shock, saying it was "impossible" to earn one million Rubees and claiming the "wonderful curse" she put on the mansion was broken. She then flees by appearing to explode. | |||
In the last part of Chapter 2, Mimi impersonates Merlee and asks Mario to sign a contract to pay off 10 million Rubees for the Pure Heart. However, a ghost-form of the real Merlee warns the heroes that it was a fake. Mimi gets angry and morphs into her Rubee-shooting "true" spider form, which is impervious to attacks at this point. She chases Mario and Peach around the mansion's basement, spawning at their location whenever they take too long to move on from a room. After a long and grueling chase, Mario and Peach find a bathroom at the bottom of the basement where Merlee is hiding with the Pure Heart. Mimi then appears and in a flash of light she transforms into Merlee. To decide which Merlee is the real one, a contest is held where Mario must ask each of the Merlee five questions to decide which one in the real Merlee. Regardless of whether or not the heroes choose correctly, Mimi attacks Mario and Peach, but Merlee removes her invincibility with cheer-leader-like chants. It is noted that Spider Mimi's legs fall off after taking enough hits. She is then defeated by Mario and flees the mansion. | |||

Posing as [[King Sammer]], she tells Mario that the [[Pure Heart]] is in the chest beside them. When opening the [[Treasure Chest]], Mario finds a [[bomb (item)|bomb]], and, when he isn't fazed by the explosion that erupts from it, Mimi attacks him, this time in her girl form, to waste the rapidly declining time before [[Sammer's Kingdom]] is destroyed by [[The Void]]. Although she loses in the battle, she succeeds in her goal as Sammer's Kingdom is destroyed. | ||
In Chapter 8, Mimi poses as [[Merlon]] and tells the heroes to hit a [[! Block]]. When struck, it causes Mario and Co. to fall into a pit. She then disguises herself as Merlee once again, and asks three questions on what Mario is afraid of; she places the items or enemies in a corridor up ahead, and when the heroes survive, she gets upset and insults Peach. While Mario and [[Luigi]] continue on through the castle, Peach and Mimi have a one-on-one battle, ending in Mimi's defeat just as the room begins to fall apart. Mimi almost falls into a hole in the ground, and even though Peach grabs her by the leg in an attempt to save her, the girl is too heavy for the princess and they both fall into the trench. | |||

Mimi is revealed to survive when she and O'Chunks come to Count Bleck's aid after Dimentio takes over. She warps herself and O'Chunks to Dimension D to help the Count.

She warps herself and O'Chunks to Dimension D to help the Count. Mimi and O'Chunks' love for Count Bleck helped Mario, Peach, and Bowser defeat [[Super Dimentio]]. This action redeems Mimi. After the game is beaten, she gets a job working as Merlee's actual maid, and, since Merlee rarely uses her mansion (as she had moved to [[Flopside]] far earlier in the game), she decided turn Merlee's mansion into a stable of cutie-pies (boys). One of Mimi's former slaves says Mimi is making him pay for the time he spent in the mansion while she was away, he however is delighted at this because he now has something to do. To help raise money for her stable, she begins the the creation of a [[List of Implied Entertainment#Cutie-Pie Video Game|Cutie-Pie Video Game]] and a [[List of Implied Locations#Cutie-Pie Cafe|Cutie-Pie Cafe]]. | ||
==Character Description== | |||
Mimi gives a lot of information about herself in the game show [["That's My Merlee!" Show|"That's My Merlee!"]]. Whether it is true or not is debatable, as she was disguised as Merlee at the time and may have been attempting at making Mario and friends think that she was the charmer. However, it is very likely to be true as Mimi has stated before that she likes men and also states it in the show. Also, when asked what her favorite animal is, she replies "an adorable little demon", a demon being her favorite animal would match Mimi's personality. | |||

She also enjoys fashion, and is the only character in ''Super Paper Mario'' to change her outfit, which she does multiple times. Mimi wrote in her diary that her dream of a perfect world is a gem-filled pool with hunky lifeguards (as revealed by [[Dimentio]]); this is one of the many times Mimi is shown to have a love for gems (especially Rubees) and boys. | ||
==Powers and Abilities== | |||
[[ | [[Image:SuperPaperMario monster-artwork.jpg|200px|thumb|right|Mimi in her true form.]] | ||
Mimi has a large number of powers. The most notable are Mimi's shape shifting ability and the | Mimi has a large number of powers. The most notable are Mimi's shape shifting ability and the invicibility that Count Bleck gave her. She has numerous powers that involve her beloved Rubees and can also transform into a spider-like form. First her head turns upwards to the right, then it swings back (whilst emitting a number of loud cracks). After which, it starts spinning almost uncontrollably with her eyes large and round (a tribute to [[wikipedia:The Exorcist|''The Exorcist'']]). It stops upside down. In the first fight, her bow loses colour and the lines unfold into a pair of her legs. Her eyes and arms stretch out into the other two pairs after a casino-esque jackpot noise. | ||
When in her spider form she can shoot Rubees at the heroes; she can also tuck in her legs and fly around the room with pointed Rubees sticking out of her, | When in her spider form she can shoot Rubees at the heroes; she can also tuck in her legs and fly around the room with pointed Rubees sticking out of her. When in her girl form, she can form a barrier of Rubees around her. In both forms she can cause a wave of Rubees to come out of the ground, dealing damage to anything it touches. Like Mario and Dimentio, Mimi is gifted with the ability to flip to 3-D. Mimi can also float in the air, fly and warp to different locations. | ||
== | ===Identity=== | ||
Mimi's true identity is shrouded in mystery. When she prepared to turn into her spider form in Merlee's Mansion, Mimi shouts "True Mimi, come forth". The monstrous and robotic spider form of Mimi may be her true self, with the girl appearance merely being another disguise; it could also be a transformation, however it is different from her other disguises. Changing into other forms causes a purple "poof" cloud to appear, however turning into the spider requires a specific process; and, unlike with her other transformations, a vestigial part of Mimi's girl form remains when she turns into a spider. Strangely, when Mario flips into 3D mode while she's in her "spider form", you can see gears inside her. | |||
According to [[Carson]], some say she's a failed [[Pixl]], possibly even [[Pixl Queen|the first Pixl ever created]], which had revolted against the [[Tribe of Ancients]], although this is unlikely as she is somewhat childish and fun-loving and does not show any desire to take over the world, like the Pixl Queen does. Others say she's the unintended creation of a witch who was researching potions that would allow shape shifting. | |||
== | ==Quotes== | ||
:''Please see [[List_of_Quotes_in_Super_Paper_Mario#Mimi|here]] for a full list of quotes.'' | |||
== | ==Trivia== | ||
*Aside from the intermission that took place during the Super Dimentio battle in Chapter 8-4, Mimi is only found in chapters that have the number 2 inside them. They are Chapters 2-2, 2-3, 2-4, 6-2, and 8-2. | |||
*Mimi's first battle theme sounds slightly similar to that of [[Doopliss]], and both of them can transform into anyone. | |||
*Whenever Mimi is in her "True" form, her dialogue box is in a shade of black with white text. This text is just like the [[Shadow Queen]]'s and [[Bonetail]]'s text. | |||
*Due to Luigi not being on Mario's team in Merlee's Mansion and Sammer's Kingdom and Peach fighting Mimi alone in [[Castle Bleck]], Luigi can never face Mimi. The same thing applies to [[O'Chunks]]. | |||
*It is possible that mimi is a robot altogether, since her mechanical features show in her "true" form. | |||
*A notable fact about Mimi is that her name is the word "mimic" with the "C" taken out. | |||
