It is a game show, hosted by [[The InterNed]], which makes the player try to find out which [[Merlee]] is real after [[Mimi]] makes herself look identical to Merlee. The game show is very similar to the [[64th Trivia Quiz-Off]] from ''[[Paper Mario]]'', as well as the [[65th Trivia Quiz-Off]] and [[66th Trivia Quiz-Off]] from ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''. The InterNed calls it the '''''66th Annual... "That's My Merlee!" show!''''', which is a reference to these quizzes.


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.
In the ''"That's My Merlee!" show'', the contestant asks both Merlees a total of five questions. For the most part, the answers will point to the real Merlee. After asking them five questions, the player gets to pick the right Merlee; however, the answers are not the only way to identify the real Merlee from Mimi. In the end, it does not make any difference whom the player picks, since Mimi will attack the player either way.


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.

*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.
*[[List of Super Paper Mario quiz questions and answers in other languages|List of ''Super Paper Mario'' quiz questions and answers in other languages]]
**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 [[Super Fun Quirk Quiz|the quiz show]] ran by two [[Thwomp]]s 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.
