(In the next scene, Mario and Co. are back in Flipside, next to the red door.)
Mimi: ''I feel really bad for that wind guy…''
Bowser: ''He's a wimp if he has to rely on air. All I have to rely on are my huge muscles!''
(Mario makes hand gestures)
Bowser: ''What do you mean? I could do what I do without my minions! I only keep them around out of pity!''
Princess Peach: ''Te he he!''
Nastashia: ''So, um… We should probably go have Merlon make another Pure Heart pillar.''
(Mario nods, the other characters disappear, and the player takes control of him. They should go to Merlon's house.)
(The next scene starts at Merlon's house.)
Merlon: ''Welcome back! I see that Breezus combined the red and orange Pure Hearts. How is he?''
Princess Peach: ''Well, he attacked us because Dimentio hypnotized him, and he probably also hypnotized the other sorcerers…''
(Merlon looks surprised)
Merlon: ''What? This is horrible! How did that fiend survive?''
O'Chunks: ''Well I guess we'll haf ta put 'im in 'is place!''
Merlon: ''Yes, there's nothing we can do about that now, and he probably did hypnotize the other sorcerers… but I can see that he helped you. How did he break free from Dimentio's spell?''
Luigi: ''He was set free from the hypnotism after we beat him! Maybe all the others will be like that.''
Merlon: ''Well, we must hope so. If defeating them doesn't free them, the worlds are doomed… But Dimentio must be weaker than he was before, so I'm hopeful that this will work.''
Bowser: ''It will! I'll Bowserize 'em! Their stupid spells are no match for my raw power!''
(Mario nods and says ''Oh yeah!'')
Merlon: ''Well, I will create a pillar for this new Pure Heart you have created that will lead to the second sorcerer, Metaniph. Please follow me.''
(The cutscene ends. In the next cutscene, Merlon and Mario and Co. are next to the pillar that once help the orange Pure Heart. There is a second pillar next to it that wasn't there before. Mario is holding the vermilion Pure Heart. He puts it in the new pillar, and the orange door disappears, and a new orange door with a different pattern takes its place.)
Merlon: ''Although I can't help you fight Metaniph, I can describe his powers to you so you will be prepared.
Princess Peach: ''Oh, thank you! That will really help us!
Bowser: ''Pttb. I could crush that dork either way.''
Merlon: ''Well, let me tell you, just in case. He can control metal with his mind. He can make metal shoot from the ground and throw it at his enemies. He will make a powerful foe, but I have faith that you can defeat him. I wish there was another way to free the sorcerers from Dimentio's wrath, but there's not… Anyway, you should get the yellow Pure Heart before you go, so he can mesh it with the Pure Heart you have now. Good luck!''
(Mario nods, and the player gains control of him. They should get the yellow Pure Heart from its location in the first game and enter the orange door.)
(An intro the second level, Metal Factory, plays. Metal Factory is a dark factory with machines to navigate around. The NPCs are workers that barely talk. There is a hidden Pixl in one of the machines, named Cobalt, that can shoot out metal arrowheads at enemies, but only two can be on screen at a time.)
(Finally, Metaniph is reached. He has a brown and gray color scheme with yellow slit eyes. Suddenly, a chunk of bronze shoots from the ground and flies toward Nastashia. O'Chunks knocks it out of the air, and the battle begins.)
(Metaniph will shoot three different types of metal at the player in the first phase, bronze, silver, and gold. They will all come from one spot on the ground next to him. The player must use Cudge to send the metal back at him. Bronze is the fastest and does the least damage. Silver is the second fastest and does more damage. Gold is the slowest and does the most damage. After he takes 30 damage, which will take a while because he has very high defense, the second phase will start. He will send different types of metal out of the ground in most of the arena, except for where he is standing. The ground shakes for a second before the metal shoots out, so they have to run to the right side and jump on his head. After he takes 10 damage from this, he will fall to the ground, dazed, and be defeated. His color scheme changes to gold and silver, and his eyes return to normal.)
Metaniph: ''I'll end your game, you stupid clown!''
(He looks shocked)
Metaniph: ''Why am I back in my factory? Wasn't I just in that weird green place?''
Bowser: ''I like your style, metal guy! Do you wanna help me end that joker?''
Metaniph: ''More like you'd be helping me.''
(They both look mad)
Mimi: ''BREAK IT UP, YOU TWO.''
Luigi: ''If you don't mind, Metaniph, could you combine our Pure Hearts? It would really help us.''
Metaniph: ''Oh, so that time has come… Well, I will, after I'm done trouncing that wanna-be dragon.''
Bowser: ''I am a dragon! It's on!''
Nastashia: ''We should probably just let them fight… Our attempts to stop them are going nowhere…''
(Mario nods, and they watch them fight. Bowser claws Metaniph, and Metaniph makes gold shoot out of the ground and hit Bowser in the stomach. They wrestle, and a cloud of dust surrounds them. When the dust settles, Bowser has a black eye and Metaniph has a gash on his leg.)
Metaniph: ''I admit, you're not as pathetic a fighter as I was expecting.''
Bowser: ''You're not either! Those metal powers are almost as cool as my strength!''
Metaniph: ''Wanna call it a draw?''
Bowser: ''Sounds good to me!''
Nastashia: ''Now that that's out of the way, can you please mesh the Pure Hearts?''
(Mario places the vermilion and yellow Pure Hearts on the ground.)
Metaniph: ''I'll miss my powers, but I guess I have to do this, or the worlds will be doomed. And they'll come back eventually...''
(He makes two pieces of silver shoot out of the ground, surrounding the Pure Hearts. They push them together, with the player shaking the Wii remote, until they form a yellow orange Pure Heart. Metaniph collapses from the effort of forming a new Pure Heart.)
Metaniph: ''There… I better get credit for helping to save the worlds…''
Princess Peach: ''You will. Thank you for helping.''
(Metaniph nods, and Mario picks up the yellow orange Pure Heart. The end of chapter jingle plays, and the screen fades to white. The words END OF CHAPTER can be seen on the screen.)
