The Underwhere: Difference between revisions

:''This article is about the underworld. For the bar in [[Flipside]], see [[Underwhere (bar)]].''

'''The Underwhere''' is a location in ''[[Super Paper Mario]]''.

Ruled by [[Queen Jaydes]], The Underwhere (also called '''[[Minus World|World -1]]''' by the residents) is where people from any dimension go when they receive a Game Over (though this is never shown).  This is like the [[Marioverse]]'s version of Hell. Once there, the people become what are known as [[Shayde]]s (a corruption of the word "Shades").  They typically chat about how they got a Game Over (such as being hit in mid-jump by a [[Micro-Goomba]] and falling into a bottomless pit). The Underwhere seems to be the Mario equivalent of the Greek Underworld, while its inversion, [[The Overthere]], is the equivalent of Mount Olympus.

In ''Super Paper Mario'', [[Mario]], [[Princess Peach]], and [[Bowser]] are teleported "to the next world" by [[Dimentio]] between Chapters 6-2 and 6-3. The game acknowledges this as Chapter 7, and the beginning of The Underwhere is Chapter 7-1.  It is here that [[Luigi]] loses his identity as Mr. L and joins Mario's party.   

Throughout the beginning of the chapter, only Mario and Luigi may be used. [[Tippi]], the [[Pixl]]s that Mario gathered, Peach, and Bowser are all unavailable at the start (as is Luigi, until Mario finds him). Tippi and the Pixls become available at the end of Chapter 7-1 (when Mario and Luigi receive the then-revitalized Pure Heart from [[Sammer's Kingdom]] and return to [[Flipside]]). Neither Bowser nor Peach are found until Mario's trek through the [[Underwhere Road]] and the [[Overthere Stair]], respectively.

At some point in Chapter 7, a vicious monster known as [[Bonechill]] escaped his prison beneath the Underwhere.  [[Luvbi]] had to be protected from him by Mario, Princess Peach, Bowser, and Luigi.

==References made in the Underwhere==

In the Underwhere and its counterpart, the Overthere, many characters or places that are encountered are references to other things, in most cases the names are specifically based off of Greek Mythology.

*The ''Underwhere'' itself, a corruption of ''Underworld''

*Additionally, the Underwhere's name is also a pun on the word ''underwear''.

*The Underwhere and the [[The Overthere|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 bar that serves milk beneath [[Flipside]] is named, "The Underwhere."  Whether this is a coincidence or not is unknown.

*According to [[The InterNed]], the music of the Underwhere goes by the same name, "The Underwhere."
