However, since Mario was not around, Luigi went in his place.

When Luigi arrives in the Waffle Kingdom, he is given a piece of the Marvelous Compass. If Luigi could find all the pieces, he would be able to track down Princess Eclair.

While the sinless are allowed to spend eternity in The Overthere (which bears more similarities to Hell's counterpart,, than to the Greek ), the inhabitants of The Underwhere do not suffer for their crimes.
