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. | 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.

In Greek mythology, souls of the dead are ferried across the river by [[wikipedia:Charon (mythology)|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. | ||
