'''The Underwhere''' is the setting of chapter seven in the game ''[[Super Paper Mario]]''. It is also called '''World -1''' by one of the residents, a reference to the famous "[[Minus World]]" glitch from the original ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' Ruled by [[Queen Jaydes]], The Underwhere makes up one half of the "afterlife" dimensions, and is where people who have been neither good nor bad from "all worlds" go when they die. Once there, the people become ghost-like creatures known as [[Shayde]]s (a corruption of the word "Shades"). | '''The Underwhere''' is the setting of chapter seven in the game ''[[Super Paper Mario]]''.

The Underwhere can be compared to the {{wp|Asphodel Meadows}} of the ancient {{wp|Greek underworld}}, hence its name, which is a humorous play on the words "underworld" and "underwear". Queen Jaydes herself was named for the Greek god of the underworld, {{wp|Hades}}, and there are numerous other aspects of The Underwhere taken from Greek mythology ([[#References made in the Underwhere|listed below]]). However, the Underwhere's counterpart, [[The Overthere]], where the sinless can spend eternity as angelic [[Nimbi]]s, is more heavily based on {{wp|Heaven}} than the Greek {{wp|Elysium|Elysian Fields}}. [[Bonechill]]'s prison, the place where people go when they have been very bad in life, is equivalent to {{wp|Tartarus}}, also from Greek mythology, although the fact that he was a fallen Nimbi and his association with ice does bear resemblance to the story of {{wp|Lucifer}}, who, according to {{wp|Inferno (Dante)|Dante's ''Inferno''}}, is trapped in ice in the deepest circle of Hell. | The Underwhere can be compared to the {{wp|Asphodel Meadows}} of the ancient {{wp|Greek underworld}}, hence its name, which is a humorous play on the words "underworld" and "underwear".

After [[Mario]], [[Princess Peach]], and [[Bowser]] "had their games ended" by [[Dimentio]] from [[Flipside]], Mario awakens near the [[The Underwhere fountain]] without any of his [[Pixl]]s, while Princess Peach and Bowser are nowhere to be found. A [[Shayde]] approaches him and tells Mario about the Underwhere, where people with ended games go. When Mario rejects the claim that his game has ended, the Shaydes tells him to go to [[Queen Jaydes]] to "weigh his sins". | |||

Mario does not go far before he is stopped by [[Luvbi]], a [[Nimbi]], who hopes to meet her "special someone".

Tippi explains that they are trying to find the Pure Heart hidden in The Underwhere. After realizing that they are the heroes mentioned in the [[Light Prognosticus]], Jaydes tells them that the Pure Heart's location is top secret and the heroes will need to consult with [[Grambi]] in [[The Overthere]].

Through the door is the [[Star Block]], which ends the chapter. | ||

*The Underwhere and [[The Overthere]] are comparable to [[Flipside]] and [[Flopside]]. While Flopside is the inverted Flipside (behind Flipside horizontally), The Overthere is the inverted Underwhere (the Underwhere is below, and The Overthere is above) | |||
*A "beveragarium" that serves milk beneath [[Flipside]] is named "[[The Underwhere (bar)|The Underwhere]]"; another one in [[Flopside]] is named "[[The Overthere (bar)|The Overthere]]." | |||
*This is the only chapter where none of [[Count Bleck]]'s minions are fought. | |||
