The Overthere is a place visited in the second half of Chapter 7 ofSuper Paper Mario. It is essentially the opposite ofThe Underwhere, and is the land where people who lived sinless lives spend their afterlife. It is ruled byGrambi. While The Underwhere is clearly based on theGreek underworld, The Overthere bears more resemblance toHeaven, rather than theElysian Fields of Greek mythology: it is a land of clouds, and its residents are the angelicNimbis, who speak in pseudo-Elizabethan English (reminiscent of the language found in theKing James Bible). The only way to reach The Overthere is via theOverthere Stair, a series of clouds andjump-over clouds leading up fromUnderwhere Road. According toThe InterNed, the music in The Overthere and the Overthere Stair is simply titled "Overthere Stair". There is anItty Bits shop in The Overthere, located near the Rainbow Bridge. Its most notable item in stock is theHot Sauce, and it also sellsHot Dogs.

Chapter 7-4: A Bone-Chilling Tale[edit]

Storyline text

White clouds as far as the eye could see...

Mario and Co. had climbed through the clouds and finally reached The Overthere.

"Odd. No party springeth forth welcometh us," wondered Luvbi aloud.

"It mattereth not. Father's shrine is just ahead, so we can walk there with ease."

But they would not arrive at the shrine as easily as Luvbi predicted.

Why not? Because something unexpected and dramatic was about to happen...

At some point shortly before the heroes' arrival in the dimension,Bonechill, a self-proclaimed "master of the cold dark" and a fallenNimbi (a reference to the story ofLucifer), and his army ofSkellobits were released from their prison inThe Underwhere due to an earthquake. They escaped from the dark realm and laid siege on The Overthere in an attempt to capture thePure Heart said to be held byGrambi. As Bonechill took over Grambi's abode, the Skellobits, reaching as far as the upper reaches of theOverthere Stair, attacked and imprisoned the Nimbis and destroyed the rainbow bridge leading to Grambi's sanctuary.

AsMario,Princess Peach,Bowser, andLuigi arrive, they learn fromLuvbi that Grambi is her father. Luvbi then talks about how overprotective her parents are andTippi suggests that the party move on in an attempt to shut her up. The level begins with a few clouds and a shrine, where a Skellobit lies. To the right of the shrine is a Skellobomber and a cloud moving up toward a Skellobit andSpiky Skellobit. To the right is a cloud moving side to side, toward another shrine, a sign reading "Overthere Sector 1", and a locked door. Beneath the shrine is another Skellobomber, several? Blocks, one containg aMushroom and another aSpeed Flower, and a door leading to Sector 2. Through the door, the heroes find two Skellobits tormenting a Nimbi namedSunbi. The heroes save Sunbi, who gives them thekey to the previously mentioned locked door.

The next area holds yet another locked door and another shrine next to aSave Block. To the right is a Skellobit, a flip block that can be used to hit a ? Block in 3D, anda Nimbi standing next to her frozen boyfriend,Novbi. Bowser frees Novbi with hisFire Breath and in thanks, he activates theOvervator. Using the Overvator, the heroes are able to move upward, where they find two more Nimbis frozen. The heroes move through a door into Sector 4, finding a large shrine, on top of which is anItty Bits shop, and several frozen Nimbis, includingWhibbi. Whibbi tells the heroes that the rainbow bridge leading to Grambi's shrine has been destroyed. in order to rebuild it, the heroes must findRebbi,Blubi andYebbi, the holders of three colored orbs. He gives the heroes the key to the locked door in Sector 3, allowing them access to Sector 5.

In Sector 5, there is a horizontally moving Overvator, activated with a red Switch Block. To the far right is a shrine containing a door and an army of 3D Skellobits and Spiky Skellobits. There is aShooting Star on top of the shrine. The door leads to Sector 8, containing some floating pillars,Boomerang Bros., a Slow Flower, and a Nimbi playing dead. There is another door behind the shrine in Sector 5, leading to Sector 7 and accessed via 3D. In Sector 7, the heroes find Rebbi battling some Skellobits. After helping defeat the assailants, Rebbi gives the heroes hisRed Orb. Also in Sector 7 is a large chest far below, containing a Nimbi apparently practicing an escape act. The Nimbi gives the heroes anUltra Shroom Shake.

To the far left of Sector 5 is some more clouds, a Skellobit and Skellobomber and a door leading to Sector 6. In Sector 6, there are some pillars and ? Blocks, one of which contains aMushroom. Byflipping, Mario finds some clouds leading to another area, filled with blocks and various types of Skellobit, as well as aMega Star. At the end of this stretch is another bridge of clouds, leading back to the other side of the main area, where the heroes find a bathroom stall. The person inside asks if the Skellobits are gone and then asks the player's name, to which they can answer Mario, Peach, Bowser, Luigi (depending on the current player character), Grambi, or a monster. If the player claims to be Grambi or any of the playable characters, the person assumes that they are a monster trying to trick them. If the player says that they are a monster, the person will realizes that no monster would admit who they were and comes out, revealing himself to be Yebbi, who gives them aYellow Orb.

To find Blubi, the heroes return to Sector 2, where they saved Sunbi. The area contains several pillars, Skellobombers,Skellobaits and aCursya. The pillar to the farthest right is actually a pipe, leading to an underground room containing aGigabite. Upon the Gigabite's defeat, a chest containingCooking Disk PU will appear. Back in Sector 2, there is a ? Block containingPal Pills is above the pipe. The player ascends some clouds, finding another Skellobomber and some blocks containing aSuper Shroom and aGhoul Shroom. At the top, Blubi is found frozen. Upon being freed by Bowser, Blubi realizes that he has lost his memory, which will only return if the heroes have spoken to Whibbi. Upon remembering who he is, Blubi yields theBlue Orb.

The rainbow bridge restored byPeach.

Back in Sector 4, the heroes place the orbs on a platform to the far right, creating a new rainbow bridge out of blocks. This allows them to cross over to Grambi's shrine. Once the bridge is reconstructed, the heroes and Luvbi encounter a Spiky Skellobit. In response to Luvbi asking whether Grambi is fine and threatening to hurt the Skellobit if he is not, the Skellobit summons an army mostly made ofSkellobombers to challenge them. However, it is then that Rebbi and an army of Nimbis (referred to as the Nimbi Brigade) show up to take care of the Skellobits. While the battle takes place, the heroes are able to defeat the Spiky Skellobit and a few other Skellobits and access Grambi's palace.

Once inside, the heroes encounter Bonechill and learn that Luvbi is an embodiment of the Pure Heart, created to keep it out of the hands of beings like Bonechill. Shocked, Luvbi confronts Grambi but is then ordered by Tippi to get him to safety while the heroes combat and defeat Bonechill. After the ice king disintegrates,Queen Jaydes arrives and Luvbi confronts her parents about her identity. Following an heated exchange between the three of them, Luvbi becomes resigned to her fate and assumes her Pure Heart form, asking Mario and co. to save all worlds as her dying wish.

Storyline ending text

"Heroes... My daughter wanted thee to save all worlds. 'Twas her final wish."

Grambi spoke slowly through his tears as the brave Nimbis cleaned up The Overthere.

Draped in sadness, Queen Jaydes walked slowly to her palace in The Underwhere.

Mario, his friends, and the eighth Pure Heart were all that remained...

This Pure Heart had come at a high price. Let us hope it was all worthwhile.

If the player revisits The Overthere after defeating Bonechill, the enemies that once appeared in Chapter 7-4 will not appear again, with the exception of theGhoul Shroom contained within one of the blocks and the Gigabite present in the secret area.
