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 and The Overthere follow a similar opposite-naming theme to [[Flipside]] and [[Flopside]]. In addition, there is a "beveragarium" that serves milk beneath Flipside named "[[The Underwhere (bar)|The Underwhere]]", and another in Flopside named "[[The Overthere (bar)|The Overthere]]."
Chapter 7 is the only chapter where none of [[Count Bleck]]'s minions are fought.

Before Chapter 7, Mr. L, a brainwashed Luigi, fails to defeat the heroes. [[Dimentio]], believing Mr. L incapable to show his face after such a failure, summons a gigantic fireball that blasts Mr. L, undoing the hypnosis. Believed to be dead, Luigi is sent to the Underwhere.

Afterward, Dimentio arrives on [[Flipside]] and repeats the process with [[Mario]], [[Princess Peach]], and [[Bowser]], seemingly "ending their games" as well. 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".

The first area contains The Underwhere fountain, which fully restores Mario's [[Heart Point|HP]]. There several Shaydes, a [[Save Block]], and a door to the next area. Mario does not go far before he is stopped by [[Luvbi]], a [[Nimbi]], who hopes to meet her "special someone". She disregards Mario as being a "mustachioed fatty" and ignores him.

[[Merlon]] and [[Tippi]] met up with Mario and Luigi at [[Flipside Tower]]. At Merlon's house, Mario explains what happened and introduces Luigi. With the Pixls back, they placed the revitalized Pure Heart into the seventh Heart Pillar in [[Flopside]] B1 Outskirts, revealing the purple door. Once they are ready, they enter the door on Flipside Tower but find that they are back in the Underwhere.

The group venture towards Queen Jaydes's palace once more. Surprised, Queen Jaydes asks why Mario and Luigi have returned. 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]]. At that moment, Luvbi arrives, ready to return to The Overthere. Queen Jaydes asks the heroes to accompany Luvbi to The Overthere, as a [[Bonechill|monster]] has recently escaped from The Underhwere and Luvbi needs protection. Mario and company accept the task, hoping to speak to Grambi when escorting Luvbi, and Queen Jaydes opens the way to [[Underwhere Road]]. Through the door is the [[Star Block (Super Paper Mario)|Star Block]], which ends the chapter.

==Trivia==
*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.
