Serving as the backdrop for the final level in this chapter, it is found within Merlee's Mansion, where Merlee herself is found along with a Pure Heart.

Chapter 2-4: The Basement Face-Off[edit]
Storyline ending text
The mysterious handmaid Mimi disappeared in a bizarre explosion...
What exactly was her plan, and why did she try to enslave Mario and friends?
After the incident, Princess Peach noticed stairs going down. "Here we go!" she said.
"I wonder if Merlee is down here?" thought our heroes as they traded worried glances...
The two solemnly made their way down, knowing there was no other path to follow.
As Mario, Peach and Tippi start off in the basement of Merlee's Mansion following the events of the previous level, Tippi informs Mario of the Pure Heart being nearby. Abruptly, Merlee appears via a magical projection to contact them. She informs them of her being somewhere in the basement, in addition to someone being after her, referring to Mimi. Just before her feed cuts out and turns to static, she warns them to exert caution when they do find her, foreshadowing what will happen then.
Mario and the others must proceed through the first rooms in this level's maze-like structure. Several of the rooms are similar in design, excluding different enemies and signs to distinguish them. Soon, Mario and the others encounter what appears to be Merlee, who formally introduces herself and offers the Pure Heart in exchange for 10 million Rubees. When she asks them to sign a contract, another Merlee appears as an apparition, warning them not to sign said contract. As Mario and Peach decline to sign the contract, the other Merlee offers more conditions before giving up and revealing herself as Mimi.
