Super Dimentio
- “GREEEEEEN!”
- —Super Dimentio, Super Paper Mario
Super Dimentio is a colossal clown puppet that serves as the final boss of Super Paper Mario. It was created through a fusion of Luigi, Dimentio and the Chaos Heart. Luigi was stated in the Dark Prognosticus as the ideal host for the Chaos Heart's power. After the giant puppet was created, Dimentio added his own power to the combination of Luigi and the Chaos Heart by having the clown eat him, forming Super Dimentio.
Super Dimentio was born shortly after Dimentio assumed control of the Chaos Heart, which he obtained following the defeat of Count Bleck. Super Dimentio harvested the power of the Chaos Heart, rendering him invincible to any of Mario's, Peach's, or Bowser's attacks and thus putting into motion the destruction of all worlds.
Meanwhile in Dimension D, where Dimentio had imprisoned Count Bleck, Tippi and Nastasia, Bleck and his minions expressed feelings of hope and love, restoring the Pure Hearts. The Pure Hearts were then used upon Super Dimentio to weaken the power of the Chaos Heart, nullifying his imperviousness and starting the real final battle. Super Dimentio had many attacks, including smashing his hexagonal appendages on the ground, activating a homing blast, and doing a super jump and smashing onto the ground. Super Dimentio was finally defeated in a magnificent explosion, releasing Luigi and the Chaos Heart from control and sending Dimentio to oblivion (albeit still smiling).
Powers and abilities
Super Dimentio seems to have physical (as opposed to Dimentio's magical) abilities in the game, which include a giant punch to the ground, jumping, and when its health is low, sliding along the ground from one end of the arena to the other. Other abilities seem to be based on Luigi's, including his signature super jump. the platforms around the arena gain a demonic grin reminiscent of Dimentio and move horizontally, in order to make jumping on Super Dimentio's head more difficult (though this can be used advantageously). Each platform can help Super Dimentio by shooting a flashing square projectile and, when signaled by Super Dimentio, a select few will fire at Mario one after the other (the projectile will be identified by a crosshair that appears where Mario was at the time). Flipping to 3D makes avoiding them easier and also makes the ones fired prior to flipping completely harmless. He also seems to possess an ability similar to the Pal Pill item, in that, should he be provoked by guarding techniques, Super Dimentio will then create several grunts that resemble 8-bit Luigi's, that run and jump in the direction the player was when they were summoned, although they are incledibly weak enemies that die if they hit anything, including the walls surrounding the arena.
For some unexplained reason, none of the abilities used by Dimentio are used by Super Dimentio, nor vice versa. That is, Super Dimentio does not levitate, teleport or even use any magic based attacks, while Dimentio on the other hand cannot physically harm characters (unless one were to collide with him), and that his arsenal is purely magic based. The reason could be that Super Dimentio is in the strictess sense not Dimentio's powerful form, and in fact a new form of Luigi's (though only when fused with the Chaos Heart), which would explain why half of Super Dimentio's abilities are based on Luigi's while the rest are purely original to itself (possibly a result of the Chaos Heart's power). Although this reason is speculation.
