Head to the Monotoli Building and take the elevator to the 47th floor. Enter the elevator to the right to head to Mr. Monotoli's office.

Before you can get to Monotoli, however, you'll have to go through some hallways and face some Sentry Robots. These robots can be pretty powerful, and can even fire bottle rockets at you. 

Ness will learn Lifeup Theta at Level 39. This spell is a full heal, but it uses a lot of PP.

As you check the doors, you'll find Elektra, the maid. She will give you some trout-flavored yogurt if you talk to her.

The Clumsy Robot is a pretty clumsy robot, and there will be turns where it does something clumsy instead of attacking. If it does attack, however, it can be very powerful, so be ready to heal Ness and Jeff when necessary. After you fight it for long enough, The Runaway Five will appear, and they will shut off the robot.

You'll be able to head into the next room, where Mr. Monotoli will be waiting with Paula. Mr. Monotoli will give up, no longer under the control of the Mani-Mani Statue. If you talk to Paula, she will tell you If you talk to him, Paula will rejoin your party. You'll then find out that the Mani-Mani Statue creates illusions, attacts evil spirits and weakens hearts, and that the statue told him to stop Ness and ensure Ness and his party never make it to Summers or learn anything about a certain pyramid. 

Monotoli will then press a secret button opening a stairway in the wall. Go through it to reach the helipad. Unfortunately, Porky will have made it to the helicopter before you and fly off, having no use for Monotoli now that the Mani-Mani Statue does not control him anymore. Head back through the door you came into Monotoli's office from, and Paula will tell you to go to back to Threed to get to Summers.

You'll then meet with The Runaway Five, who will give you a ride to Threed when you get back outside. The Sentry Robots will be gone, so if you want to look around for items or Elektra, you can. When you approach the elevator, you'll get a call from Apple Kid on the receiver phone. He will tell you that he has discovered Giygas, and that he will have to find Dr. Andonuts in Winters and create a Phase Distorter. At the elevator, the bellhop will ask if it is too much to ask for The Runaway Five's autographs.

At the lobby, you'll get a call from Orange Kid if you gave him money. He will tell you that he is working on turning boiled eggs into raw eggs.

Once you're outside, you'll be able to take The Runaway Five's tour bus to Threed immediately.

Back at Threed, go down the ladder in the cemetery. You'll find out that the Sky Runner has been repaired, and by "repaired," it means the damage has been painted over. Jeff will go into the machine to fix it when you go up to it and press A, and you'll land in Dr. Andonuts' lab.

You'll find out that the bubble gum monkey from Winters has finally tied the knot and that he and the female monkey are trying to leave Winters, then the monkey will tell you to head to the cave north of Stonehenge and go to the Your Sanctuary locaion there. Dr. Andonuts will tell you about the cave as well as Rainy Circle, the next "Your Sanctuary" location, and to head there while he further fixes the Sky Runner.
