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...
In this part of the mansion, you'll find a vase on an item block. Tippi says it probably cost no more than 100 coins. Hit the block or try to jump on the item block and the vase will fall to the floor and break. Mimi runs into the room, saying they broke her favorite vase. She calls them doofuses and says she loved that vase more than anything. She will make them pay for it or they're done for. It costs 1 million Rubees. Tippi says they don't have Rubees and asks if they're similar to coins. Mimi calls them peasants, as no one uses coins anymore, according to her. If they don't have Rubees, they'll have to work off their debt and she now owns them. They can earn Rubees in the generator room on the top floor. They can pay off their debt in the room on the first floor, as well as check their debt balance.
Go upstairs and flip on the right side. Use Boomer on the brick blocks in the wall to find a chest with a Boo card. Use Peach to float to the left, flip, and follow the arrow to the left to a large chest. Someone asks if they know the secret. The funky Pixl music starts playing and a triangular Pixl appears. It's divided into three sections, which periodically flip around, and it talks like a cowboy. It knows the secret: if you close your eyes and imagine the world's gone, it's the biggest thrill ever. He senses that they're the heroes, but they're lacking in thrills. He can't lend his power to anyone lacking in thrills, so he'll recharge their thrill gauge in ten seconds. He counts, "One, two, three, five, four, seventeen, 3.14, 1 marzillion, ten!" He says that Pixls have loads of power, so the heroes must be careful with them. The Pixls had a dustup with the ancients 2,000 years ago, but they're partners now. The Pixl named Slim is now your pard. Slim allows you to turn sideways to avoid traps and enemies. You won't take damage as long as you're standing still. He says playing hide-and-seeks is the best thrill ever.
Now, what you're supposed to do is go up to the third floor, through the right door. This is the generator room, where you jump to hit a block to generate electricity, while avoiding the electrical sparks on the floor. It's a slow and tedious way to earn some Rubees. Get 100 of them by talking to the Ackbow, the guy dressed as a pharaoh, then go to the second floor. Go through the door near Slim's chest and talk to the prisoner near the door. For those 100 Rubees, he'll give you the passcode 5963, which opens up the treadmill room on the third floor, where you can earn Rubees much faster. Hop into the treadmill and hold either left or right for a long time. You'll need 10,000 Rubees. Take them to the into the room on the right and flip. There's one prisoner in 3D. Exchange the Rubees for a set of numbers he heard Mimi say in her sleep: 41262816. This is the real number you need, so if you want to save time, just get Slim, go to the third floor and flip. Walk to the left and you'll find a brick block with a ladder. Take it to the top floor, where you'll see electric beams moving back and forth. In 2D, use Slim to flip sideways. Approach the area with the electric beams, then stand still when they pass by you so you won't get hurt. Move while flipped sideways to the right. On the other side is a door. Enter the passcode 41262816 and you'll open up a vault with 1 million Rubees. Grab them all, go past the electric beams, and go to the room on the first floor.
Mimi is in this room, running Rubee Savings and Loan. She thanks the heroes for taking out the special Rubeee loan. Select the option to pay off your balance and she'll thank you for paying off the loan in... full... She's confused, saying this wasn't supposed to happen. Now that they've earned enough to pay off the debt in full, they've broken her wonderful curse. She floats up and yells, saying she'll get them, then explodes. The star appears on the other side of some bars. Tippi says that imp put a curse on the mansion and she wonders who she was. Tippi's more worried about Merlee, however. Flip into 3D, and while in 3D, flip sideways with Slim to pass between the bars to reach the star.
