The Underwhere (bar)



The Underwhere is a bar (described in-game as a "beveragarium") located on the first basement floor of Flipside, in the game Super Paper Mario. It is named after The Underwhere, the realm of the dead which can also be visited during the course of the game.

The bar specializes in serving milk, although Mario himself cannot purchase any during the game. Instead, he can talk to the barkeeper, Garson, for gossip. Each story costs ten coins, and provides insight into the backstories of some of the other characters and shed light on several aspects of Super Paper Mario's storyline, such as the histories of the Pixls and the Tribe of Ancients. After Mario defeats Super Dimentio, The InterNed will appear resting on a table in the bar. He will offer to play any song that Mario or the other heroes have "heard" (the background music) for ten coins each. Also, hidden behind the wall is a golden Warp Pipe that leads to The InterChet's Flipside Arcade.

The Underwhere's Flopside counterpart is The Overthere, which serves coffee rather than milk, is run by Carson, and is named for a specific region of The Underworld, where the sinless spend their afterlives.

Music
Most of the soundtrack is available, only a couple of tracks are missing. In total, 87 tracks are playable. The InterNed will pick a random track each time the player would pay 10 coins. The music is played indefinitely unless: The last two propositions revert the background music back to the default (Flipside). There will be no repeat until all of the 87 tracks have been played at least once.
 * the player want to change the music and pay another 10 coins;
 * the player exit the bar;
 * one of those 3 tracks with no loop point is played (Today's Story; Open the Next Door or Goodnight).

Trivia

 * If the player wish to hear everything in one sitting, it would cost him 870 coins.
 * You can pay to listen 99 times in a row until you run out of money (the maximum amount of coins the player can have is capped at 999).
