'''Merlee's Mansion''' is the home of [[Merlee#Super Paper Mario|Merlee]] in ''[[Super Paper Mario]]''. It is the setting of Chapters 2-2, 2-3, and 2-4. Merlee's Mansion is a large manor that lies in the perpetually twilit [[Gloam Valley]]. 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]]. During Chapter 2, Merlee's Mansion was taken over by [[Mimi]], one of [[Count Bleck]]'s lackeys. The mansion itself has no enemies, though the traps and basement are full of them.

===The Entry Room===
'''Storyline text'''
[[File:MerleesEntry.PNG|thumb|right|200px|Mario next to a crystal ball.]]
<blockquote>''On the far-side of a beast-ridden swamp, Mario and Co. found an imposing residence.''
The area of Merlee's Mansion in Chapter 2-2 has only one room which serves any plausible purpose: the entry room, which also has Merlee's crystal ball. It is here that players can initially earn charms from Merlee (after beating Chapter 2), though the mysterious charmer moves to [[Flopside]] once the player is able to access that area. The mansion is guarded day and night by Merlee's pets, the [[Gnip]]s and her favorite pet [[Gnaw]]. After beating Chapter 2, the Gnips and Gnaw no longer appear.


===Story===
''"This must be Merlee's Mansion!" squealed Princess Peach with glee.''
In the twilit Gloam Valley, [[Mario]] discovered Merlee's Mansion, home to [[Merlee]]. To advance, Mario and [[Princess Peach]] had to enter the Mansion in Chapter 2-2, because according to [[Merlon]], Merlee had the Yellow [[Pure Heart]].


Merlee's Mansion was guarded by Merlee's pets, the Gnips. Instead of hurting Mario, they simply removed him from the Mansion when they caught him. According to [[Tippi]], they do this for Mario's own protection. 
''If our friends could only find the Pure Heart quickly, their quest here would end.''


If Mario and Princess Peach progressed further through the Mansion, they entered a hallway where [[Mimi]] could be found, a girl who claimed to be Merlee's maid. She gave him false advice as to which room he had to go to. Chained to a locked door on the far side of the hallway was Gnaw, Merlee's favorite pet.
''But when has fate ever set Mario on such a simple path?''


Several doors in the hallway lead to rooms with traps, that were of no further use. One door lead to a room with a lowering, spiked ceiling. Would Mario flip to 3D, then he could escape being crushed and jump on the ceiling that would soon go up again. This way, he could reach a key to open the locked door and free Gnaw, who would then chase away Mimi.
''Brimming with anticipation, our plucky heroes plunged into Merlee's Mansion...''</blockquote>


After this scene, if Mario entered the door, he would find the end of Chapter 2-2.
[[File:MerleesEntry.PNG|thumb|Merlee is gone.]]
In the twilit [[Gloam Valley]], [[Mario]] and [[Princess Peach|Peach]] discover Merlee's Mansion. Outside, Mario can find a [[Coin Block]] behind the bushes by [[Flip]]ping, as well as a sign in front of the mansion reading:<br>
<blockquote>"Believers, open the door!
Non-Believers open it NOW!<br>
--Mysterious Magical [[Merlee]]"</blockquote>
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]].
 
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 area the elevator leads to has a [[? Block]] on the right and a platform leading up to another level on the left. The top level has alternating walls of [[Brick Block]]s and hard blocks. [[Boomer (Super Paper Mario)|Boomer]] can destroy the bricks, but Mario's flip must be used to get past the hard blocks. 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.

[[Image:Merleemansion.jpg|thumb|One of the floors in the main area of Merlee's Mansion.]]
The interior of Merlee's Mansion, traversed in Chapter 2-3, contains mainly generator rooms, along with a bank ran by Mimi. The generator rooms power the electricity (most notably the lights) in the mansion. During Chapter 2-3, Mario meets the [[Pixl]] named [[Slim]].

[[Image:VIP Room Wheel.jpg|thumb|left|One of the wheels in the VIP generator room.]]
The '''VIP Generator Room''' is located in Merlee's Mansion and can be accessed by paying 100 [[rubees]] to Conn after which he gives the player a pass code which is 5963.


As opposed to the normal generator room, where Mario needs to hit generator blocks by jumping, the VIP generator rooms contains three gerbil wheels. Mario must run for almost six minutes, to earn the 10.000 rubees needed to get another pass code (this time given by [[Stock]]) which is 41262816. In the VIP generator Room, the rubees can be gained ten times faster compared to the regular room.

[[File:SPM Chapter 2-3.png|thumb|Mario seeking faster methods to reach 1,000,000 Rubees.]]
As Mario and Peach delve deeper into [[Merlee]]'s Mansion, they come upon a [[? Block]] with a [[Shy Guy]]-themed vase on it. They hit or jump onto 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 discover some other men who fell for the same trick and so became [[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 rate at which the "sparks" are produced from the wheel spinning at various speeds does not affect the Rubees earned. That means [[Mario]] will earn the same amount of Rubees by  running, sliding, or using [[Dashell]]; Rubees gained only depend on the amount of time spent.


===Story===
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 contains 1,000,000 Rubees. 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 and Peach pay 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.
As Mario delved deeper into Merlee's Mansion, he came upon a [[Question Block|? Block]] with a vase on it. He hit the block, but as a consequence the vase fell off and broke. In rushed Mimi, Merlee's maid. Mimi scolded Mario (or Princess Peach, whoever the [[player]] is controlling), saying that it was her favorite vase, worth 1,000,000 [[Rubees]]. As punishment, Mario is enslaved by Mimi until he can pay off his debt to Mimi's bank, [[Rubee Savings and Loan]]. Seeing as Merlee was still nowhere to be found, Mario had no choice but to accept his punishment.


As it turned out, Mario wasn't the only one enslaved by Mimi. Many others, such as [[Conn]] and [[Tib]], were slaves just because they had come to see Merlee. Most of the slaves (red ones and skinny green ones, similar to Mario and [[Luigi]]) had to run tiring generators to make their Rubees, while [[Ackpow|others more favored by Mimi]] (though still slaves) had to make sure the other slaves did their jobs. Mario tried the labor, but found that it paid too little to his debt.
The debt can also be paid off without ever stealing from Mimi's safe, but Slim is required to reach the Star Block to end the chapter.


However, by paying Rubees to his inmates, Mario discovered secrets to making more Rubees - such as the secret password to the VIP generator room. He also learned of a secret vault hidden away in the attic. If he were to get the Rubees in that vault, he'd be able to pay off the debt instantly. Although one of the inmates was able to tell him the vault's password, Mario discovered that it was impossible to reach the vault, thanks to moving electric walls that were even impossible in 3-D.
Much later on in the game, in [[Castle Bleck Interior|Chapter 8-3]], [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] chase [[Dimentio]] through this area to where the safe is located.
{{br}}


This could be solved with the help of a flip-flopping [[Pixl]]. Mario met [[Slim]] in the Mansion Interior. Slim needed to make sure that Mario had enough thrills; but as the plumber did, Slim happily joined Mario's party of Pixls. Slim was able to make Mario immune to the moving electric walls, allowing him to get to the vault and pay off the debt.

Upon paying off the debt, Mimi's magic apparently wore off. In a violent act, Mimi self-destructed and the path to the [[Merlee's Basement|basement]] became clear.

“Beautiful, mysterious Merlee! Mistress of the house, it's me! So glad it's you I see!”
—Merlee, Super Paper Mario

Merlee's Mansion is the home of Merlee in Super Paper Mario. It is the setting of Chapters 2-2, 2-3, and 2-4. Merlee's Mansion is a large manor that lies in the perpetually twilit Gloam Valley. During Chapter 2, Merlee's Mansion was taken over by Mimi, one of Count Bleck's minions. The main part of the mansion has no enemies, though the traps and basement are full of them.

Chapter 2-2: Tricks, Treats, Traps[edit]

Storyline text

On the far-side of a beast-ridden swamp, Mario and Co. found an imposing residence.

"This must be Merlee's Mansion!" squealed Princess Peach with glee.

If our friends could only find the Pure Heart quickly, their quest here would end.

But when has fate ever set Mario on such a simple path?

Brimming with anticipation, our plucky heroes plunged into Merlee's Mansion...

Merlees Mansion Entry Room
Merlee is gone.

In the twilit Gloam Valley, Mario and Peach discover Merlee's Mansion. Outside, Mario can find a Coin Block behind the bushes by Flipping, as well as a sign in front of the mansion reading:

"Believers, open the door!

Non-Believers open it NOW!

--Mysterious Magical Merlee"

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 Card.

The mansion's entryway is protected by two Gnips, 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 area the elevator leads to has a ? Block on the right and a platform leading up to another level on the left. The top level has alternating walls of Brick Blocks and hard blocks. Boomer can destroy the bricks, but Mario's flip must be used to get past the hard blocks. 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.

Chapter 2-3: Breaking the Bank[edit]

Storyline text

Mario and friends kept up their search, delving ever deeper into the mansion.

Wherever they looked, though, they found no sign of Merlee.

Where was this mysterious woman?

"Ah, maybe...this way..." So said Tippi, trying to sense the Pure Heart's location...

With dread dangling like a broken chandelier, our heroes hurried through corridors...

Merlee's Mansion
Mario seeking faster methods to reach 1,000,000 Rubees.

As Mario and Peach delve deeper into Merlee's Mansion, they come upon a ? Block with a Shy Guy-themed vase on it. They hit or jump onto the block, but the vase falls off and breaks. Mimi rushes in and forces Mario and Peach to pay her 1,000,000 Rubees as a consequence for breaking the vase. Unable to pay, they are forced to work off their debt. They also discover some other men who fell for the same trick and so became 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 rate at which the "sparks" are produced from the wheel spinning at various speeds does not affect the Rubees earned. That means Mario will earn the same amount of Rubees by running, sliding, or using Dashell; Rubees gained only depend on the amount of time spent.

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, Mario and Peach reach the vault, which contains 1,000,000 Rubees. 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 and Peach pay 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.

The debt can also be paid off without ever stealing from Mimi's safe, but Slim is required to reach the Star Block to end the chapter.

Much later on in the game, in Chapter 8-3, Mario and Luigi chase Dimentio through this area to where the safe is located.
