'''The Underwhere''' is the setting of chapter seven in the game ''[[Super Paper Mario]]''. It is also called '''World -1''' by one of the residents, a reference to the famous "[[Minus World]]" glitch from the original ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]''. Ruled by [[Queen Jaydes]], The Underwhere makes up one half of the "afterlife" dimensions, and is where people who have been neither good nor bad from "all worlds" go when they die. Once there, the people become ghost-like creatures known as [[Shayde]]s (a corruption of the word "Shades"). | '''The Underwhere''' is the setting of chapter seven in the game ''[[Super Paper Mario]]''.

The Underwhere can be compared to the {{wp|Asphodel Meadows}} of the ancient {{wp|Greek underworld}}. 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. | |||
