The '''River Twygz''' is a subsection of the [[Underwhere]] in ''[[Super Paper Mario]]''. It is evidently filled with the tears of evildoers that somehow give it a purple color. [[Charold]] will ferry the player across the river for 4 [[coins]], but it is not required. The river is inhabited by [[Underhand|Underhands]], almost invincible, skeletal hands that will damage [[Mario]]. Near the bottom of the river, the river turns deep purple, and the music becomes eerie and distorted, filled with strange shrieks and moans. Before the events of Chapter 7, [[Luigi]] fell in the River Twygz. While he managed to get out of it, he was severely shaken from his experiences in it. Mario descends into the river in search of him.
The '''River Twygz''' is a subsection of [[The Underwhere]] in ''[[Super Paper Mario]]''. It is said to be filled with the tears of sinners, giving it a purple color. [[Charold]] will ferry the player across the river for 4 [[coin]]s, but it is not required. The river is inhabited by [[Underhand]]s, invincible, skeletal hands that lunge towards [[Mario]] and co. to damage them.


When [[Mario]] is asked by [[Queen Jaydes]] to search for [[Luvbi]], she mentions to him that someone dressed in green clothing was seen falling into the river; while remarking that this could not be the missing [[Nimbi]], she advises that the hero investigate the sighting, granting him a key so that he can explore the riverbed and the tunnels beneath it. The man in green, [[Luigi]], presumably fell into the River Twygz after being sent to the Underwhere by [[Dimentio]]. After solving a series of puzzles, Mario is reunited with his brother, and the two continue the search for Luvbi.
==Trivia==
*The name of the river is a pun on the [[Wikipedia:Styx|River Styx]] (commonly pronounced "sticks"), a similar river in the Greek Underworld, while this river is called Twygz (commonly pronounced "twigs").
*Also in Greek Mythology, if one were to go in the River Styx, they'd become immortal. However, once the person dove in, they'd be pulled under by the hands of souls trying to escape the river. The [[Underhand]]s are likewise based on the souls in the River Styx.
*Oddly, Luigi fell into the part of the river that was cut off by a locked door, with [[Queen Jaydes]] having the only key. It is possible that [[Dimentio]] teleported him right into there, but then Jaydes could not have seen him fall in and advised Mario to search there.
*In the music that plays at the river's bed, unintelligible whispers (possibly ghosts) can be heard.
*Also, the music that plays at the bed of the river is almost exactly the same backwards as it is forwards.


The name of the river is a pun on the [[Wikipedia:Styx|River Styx]] (commonly pronounced "sticks", whereas this river is pronounced "twigs"), a similar river in the [[wikipedia:Greek underworld|Greek underworld]]. In Greek mythology, souls of the dead are ferried across the river by {{wp|Charon}} (himself represented by Charold) after paying him a coin. If one was not able to pay Charon, then they might instead try swimming across the river, and most likely be stuck in it for all eternity. The Underhands are likewise based on the souls in the River Styx, which may also be referenced by the unintelligible voices that can be heard in the music that plays at the river's bed.
