“What?! A parallel world...identical in every way?! What are we waiting for, Mario? Let's go!”
—Huey,Paper Mario: Color Splash

Theparallel world is a dimension visited duringPaper Mario: Color Splash. LikeSubspace fromSuper Mario Bros. 2 andFlopside fromSuper Paper Mario, the terrain resembles a gloomier version of its counterpart world, including houses and most other structures. Across the Violet Isles are mysteriously hummingpipes with an ornate, circular pattern beneath, which are used to traverse between the parallel and normal worlds. This design corresponds to the traits of each world: in the normal world the design resembles a sun with eight points which spins clockwise. In the parallel world, it resembles a partial eclipse or crescent moon, composed of two rings with offset centers that spin counterclockwise.

Certain objects and features in the Violet Isles and parallel world are intrinsically linked. For example, stone posts in the one world will reflect the positions of wooden posts on the other side. Despite being described by various residents as identical to the world it mimics, there are various aspects which differ:

  • The oceans are replaced with dark clouds and humid air,[1] exposing the barren, rocky surface beneath.
  • Torches burn blue rather than the usual red.
  • Shadows are cast in the opposite direction compared to the normal world.
  • The peaceful residents areShy Guys instead of Toads.
  • Bloopers andSwoops are replaced withBoos,Koopas becomeDry Bones, andFire Bros becomeIce Bros.
  • During transitions, the screen fades to purple rather than the typical black.
  • Many sound effects undergo pitch distortion.
  • Adistorted version of the music will play both on the field and in battles.
