Queen Jaydes

"So it must fall to you!"

- Queen Jaydes

Queen Jaydes is the kind-hearted (yet strict) queen of the Underwhere in Super Paper Mario. She is also the wife of King Grambi and "mother" to Luvbi.

She resides near the entrance to the Underwhere, at the other side of the River Twygz. She is pampered by her busy D-Men while she keeps watch on those who have received a Game Over.

Queen Jaydes's magic chant is very similar to that used by the Merluvlee featured in the game.

Powers and Abilities
Queen Jaydes is a very powerful woman who has control over the dead and where they go. Not only is she able to send those who were wrongly sent to the Underwhere back to the mortal world, but she is able to revitalize and transform Pure Hearts. She revitalized the Pure Heart found in Sammer's Kingdom, and years ago had transformed her Pure Heart into Luvbi to protect it. Eventually, Queen Jaydes felt a mother-daughter bond between herself and Luvbi, and was very sad when Luvbi had to change back. She also has the ability to summon magical lightning to strike those who angered her, seen if Mario refuses to find Luvbi for her. If Mario says yes, Jaydes won't try such a thing on him, because she loves Luvbi.

Trivia

 * Queen Jaydes was probably based on three Greek gods: Persephone, a goddess who became the wife of Hades, the god of the dead; Hera, the goddess of the home and wife of Zeus, the ruler of Mount Olympus (Queen Jaydes is married to King Grambi, the ruler of the Overthere); and Hades, the god of the dead. There is also probable influence from the Norse death goddess Hel, who presided over a gloomy realm sharing her name.
 * Queen Jaydes' name may be a corruption of "Hades". The "Hades" in question may be the name of the Underworld, or the name of the God of the Dead (both have the same name). Queen Jaydes' name might also be a pun on "jade" and Shayde.
 * When Jaydes is bringing Mario and Luigi back to Flipside before Chapter 7-1, she says "GAME OVER" exactly 5 times and then says "Continue!" making a magical portal appear and send them to Flipside. This is a reference to the times when in some games, after the player gets a Game Over. If the player has extra lives ,the player can choose to continue their game.
 * If Mario refuses to help Jaydes find Luvbi, she gives him a game over.
