| All right, the trivia section has finally been shortened to only include the essential information; there was a lot of garbage in that section. I think the section is perfect now, but some might want to add more. If someone wants to add something, please just discuss it on this page. Stuff like Dimentio having a perfume brand, which I think Dimentio was just lying about, is not important enough to be included as you can play through the whole game without even going through that scene unless you refuse his offer three times. Make sure that the information hasn't been stated in the article previously and isn't too long or long at all with unnecessary wording. Like I said before, I think the section is fine the way it is now, but you never know.

| ==Could Dimentio Be the Pixl Queen?==
| |
| If you talk the Carson in the bar in [[Flopside]] and if you pay him enough he says that there was a first pixl the queen. Now in the game it never says that if [[Dimentio]] is a boy or girl its just him making it possible that [[Dimentio]] might be a she. The man also said the Pixl Queen had been forced to study the [[Dark Prognosticus]] he had also said the the pixl queen wanted to take over the world similar to [[Dimentio]] current goal throughout the game and also being old may had gained intelligence while she aged. If [[Dimentio]] (who might be queen) had studied the [[Dark Prognosticus]]he knew what was happening next that could be a reason how she knew everything. [[Dimentio]] even proposed to [[Count Bleck]] to be part of his team because he was meant to be in it now how did [[Dimentio]] know this? Also Carson Bar owner of [[Flopside]] said that Dimentio might've created the [[Dark Prognosticus]] and the [[Dark Prognosticus]] is very old and so is the story of the Pixl Queen another reason! Many reasons why [[Dimentio]] might be the Pixl Queen. [[User: Dundas502|Dundas502]] NOTE:THIS IS ONLY AN OBSERVATION NOT A FACT Thanks for the people who are responding to my theory to compare and stuff
| |
|
| |
| Dimentio is clearly a guy. Tippi describes him as a he when you tattle Super Dimentio and the minions also refer to Dimentio as a he numerous times. I'm a little confused how the game saying him would still make it possible for Dimentio to be a she. The game never specifies if any character is male or female, it's just obvious what they are based on their appearances. Bleck looks male as does O'Chuncks and Dimentio looks male as well. This theory is a very interesting one, but it can't be put into the article because it's pure speculation. Very good theory though.-Darknessofheart
| |
|
| |
| I doubt sex matters. Look at [[Birdo]]. Or [[Bowletta]] - is s/he male or female? Just because Dimentio is male and the Pixl Queen is female doesn't mean they automatically couldn't be the same. The Pixl Queen could have very easily become male, especially since this game features an interdimensional Void that threatened to destory ''everything''. Surely changing your sex wouldn't be very difficult compared to that.
| |
|
| |
| But yeah, this seems like speculation, so it's probably best not put in the article. -- {{User|Son of Suns}}
| |
|
| |
| Wait, it couldn't be Dimentio because it says the Queen was ''forced'' to read the Prognosticus and Dimentio would be forced to read it by just making it. And he wouldn't need to be forced-he's that crazy.{{User:M&L'[[User:M&L|M&L Baby_mario.gif]] 18:37, 8 January 2012 (EST)'}}
| |
|
| |
| Nope I am pretty sure the Shadow Queen from paper Mario 2 is because she is evil sealed away and has hand minions and stuff like that hands of souls of dead pixls Shadow Queen is the dead pixl queens soul seeled away is my theory. Dimentiofan25
| |
|
| |
| == Author? ==
| |
| I think that it is impossible for Dimentio to have written the Dark Prognasticus. He learns that Luigi is the key to conquering the world from reading it. You can't learn something from a book that you wrote unless you forget about it, which I highly doubt Dimentio did! {{User:Jaffffey/sig}}
| |
|
| |
| He could simply be trying to avoid suspicion. The way he said it " oh that's the first thing I learned from that book" made it seem like he was really going out of his way to say that he never wrote the book.-darknessofheart.
| |
|
| |
| he probably doesn't want anyone to know,(because then bleck and his army wouldn't trust him if they did) like bleck doesn't want anyone to know he was blumiere. [[User:Luigi time!|Luigi Time!]]
| |
|
| |
| Pretty possible the pixl manual would be the dark book THEN Dimentio could add on to it. Seems like a good theory to me. Dimentiofan25
| |
|
| |
| == Yes and No ==
| |
|
| |
| Whenever I played Super Paper Mario, Dimentio didn't give you a second chance to say yes. The next bubble is either "No way!" or "Forget it!" And before I saw on the history that he was offering you stuff(in the trivia) so you'd say yes. I dont understand... can someone please explain?[[User:Dimentio 06|Dimentio 06]] 19:08, 6 February 2009 (EST)
| |
| :If I remember correctly, the game doesn't give you a chance to accept Dimentio's bribery, but as far as the ''plot'' goes, Dimentio ''is'' trying to turn the heroes. Hope that clears things up. - {{User:Walkazo/sig}} 18:26, 1 May 2009 (EDT)
| |
|
| |
| == Dimentio's Kill Count ==
| |
| It says somewhere that Dimentio directly murders six characters and indirectly kills two more within the course of the storyline. But for the "directly killed by Dimentio" I only counted five (Mario, Luigi, Peach, Bowser, and Nastasia) and for the "indirectly killed by Dimentio" I counted one (Fracktail). Am I missing one for each or what? I don't want to change it because I could very well be missing it, it's been almost a month since the last time I've played the game... [[User:Ghostkaiba297|Ghostkaiba297]] 22:14, 22 March 2009 (EDT)
| |
| :Actually, the only characters Dimentio really kills are Fracktail (though you're right that it's indirect, as Mario delivers the fatal blow) and Nastasia (though she comes back to life). Everyone else he either sends to the Underwhere (where Jaydes herself says they're not actually dead) or Dimention D (as is the case with Count Bleck and Tippi). Or at least, that's what I think; I haven't played ''SPM'' in a while either. - {{User:Walkazo/sig}} 23:26, 22 March 2009 (EDT)
| |
|
| |
| Intentionally: Mario,Bowser,Peach,Mr. L,Super Dimentio and himself. Indirectly: nastasia and fracktail.[[User:Luigi time!|Luigi Time!]]
| |
|
| |
| == Magic Tag ==
| |
| I think we should include the fact that Dimentio challenges the heroes to a game of Magic Tag. Y'know, the part the heroes get warped to different places and they have to chase Dimentio. [[User:Lemmy Koopa Fan]]
| |
|
| |
| == A Mysteriouse Relationship ==
| |
| There are two rumors about Dimentio that I think are somewhat related. The first one is that Dimentio wrote the Dark Progonosticus. The second is that Dimentio is descended from one of the Tribe of Ancients, Merloo (See Merloo's wiki page for details). I'd just like to point out that Merloo is the supposed author of the Light Progonosticus. If we're to assume that Dimentio actually IS related to Merloo, we should also consider the author theory... It makes sense. {{unsigned|Dimentia44}}
| |
|
| |
| Well, we have included both theories in the trivia section. Since they are just that, theories, they can't be included as facts within the context of the article. Very interesting by the way in connecting the theories. Makes a lot of sense.-darknessofheart.
| |
|
| |
|
| |
| == Similar Evil Duo ==
| |
|
| |
| Dimentio is very similar to Mephiles from the sonic the hedgehog series. So i added the similarities in the article. is it okay? (read it yourselves in the trivia section for more.) {{unsigned|MarioMaster720}}
| |
| :We're not here to make similarities between two characters from different series. {{User:Reversinator/sig}}
| |
| ==Tattle==
| |
| Why does the Dimentio Card at the top of the page have Tattle information? You can't use Tattle on him, because during Battle 1, Tippi is kidnapped by Francis and during Battle 2, you can only play as Luigi. Mario and the Pixls had already gone furhter then.
| |
|
| |
| Oh, I understand, it's the Tattle of Dimentio's Duplicates in Castle Bleck.
| |
| {{unsigned|Zaimoon}}
| |
| ==Attack power==
| |
| All of Dimentio's attacks during his first battle at the [[Dotwood Tree]] do 2 damage, so I conclude that his Attack power during that battle is 2 and I just changed it. We can't be sure, because [[Tippi]] can't use her [[Tattle]].
| |
| {{unsigned|Zaimoon}}
| |
|
| |
| Then let him attack you and find out! Yeesh, once again, they let ANYBODY on these wikis...{{User:M&L'[[User:M&L|M&L Baby_mario.gif]] 18:40, 8 January 2012 (EST)'}}
| |
| :That kind of disrespect is not necessary. Please take more care in the future. {{User:Mario4Ever/sig}}
| |
|
| |
| == Carson's Stories ==
| |
|
| |
| In one of Carson's stories, he implies that Dimentio wrote the Dark Prognosticus. This would mean that Dimentio existed before the magician who created the Pixls, because the magician who created the Pixls used the Dark Prognosticus. But the article says that Carson also implies that Dimentio is a descendant of the magician. Not only is this a contradiction, but I also wonder which one of Carson's stories implies that Dimentio is a descendant of the magician.{{unsigned|Marionumber1}}
| |
|
| |
| == FAWFUL AND DIMENTIO ==
| |
|
| |
| Fawful and Dimentio seem to be alike because both are crazy or insane and both first start as a minion of the main antagonist and later in the same game or not they are the main antagonist and while Dimentio speaks in simile Fawful speaks in metaphor and they both soon get defeated at the end but still lives as a head only but still have a chance to defeat the heroes and then they both self destruct and they both always smile

| |
| :There isn't really anything to indicate Dimentio is based on Kefka, so any similarities would be coincidental. {{User:Mario4Ever/sig}} 15:47, 11 May 2014 (EDT)

| |
| ==Dimentio is really...==
| |
| Does anyone else think that Dimentio could be the Fire and Thunder Gods from mlss.
| |
|
| |
| To be quite honest with you, they don't quite look similar enough, but there is a vague similarity between Dimentio and Fire God, yeah. I highly doubt they're related, though- they come from two entirely different continuities! --http://i.imgur.com/VG4JnjG.png [[User:AVeryFluffyYoshi|(Profile)]] [[User_talk:AVeryFluffyYoshi|(Talk to me!)]] 04:47, 16 July 2015 (EDT)

| == Dentji Meno ==
| |
|
| |
| On the Villains Wiki, it says that Dimentio's real name is Dentji Meno. It is nowhere on here, so could this statement be false? Or is it something never added? {{User:Joseph/sig}}
| |
|
| |
| It's probably fanon. It isn't true, as far as I know. Someone probably just came up with a headcanon and things just escalated from there.

| :::@Bazooka Mario: Good point. If Dimentio clones get an article, so should all clones.

I think the same was done for Magikoopa. It's called Magikoopa (copy) and I doubt it's called that in-game, but I could be wrong.

I've gone ahead and added the text, but made a note that Tippi is unavailable during normal gameplay. [[User:Justink ase|Justink ase]] ([[User talk:Justink ase|talk]]) 05:45, 15 January 2017 (EST)

| == Bowser's Recognition ==
| |
|
| |
| At one point in the game, I believe when you make it to the top of the Dotwood Tree in Chapter 3-3, (though it may be right before the O'Chunks fight in Chapter 5-2) if you have Bowser out, he'll recognize Dimentio. This might be proof that it ''was'' Dimentio that sent Bowser and some of the Koopa Troop to the Bitlands. However, I don't want to add this to the article because I don't have the exact quote as a citation (like how Tippi's recognition of him right before fighting Fracktail has the quote of her directly implying she recognizes him).

| == On Tippi recognizing Dimentio ==
| |
| [https://youtu.be/KCXQ_SvTUwA?t=485 The corresponding line in Japanese] has her simply affirming that Dimentio is one of the count's minions (ディメーン… 伯爵の…手下…). It could go either way whether she outright ''recognized'' him or not, given that this is right after he introduced himself. The localizers interpreted the line as certain recognition but that doesn't mean it was the original intent. --[[User:PaperSplash|PaperSplash]] ([[User talk:PaperSplash|talk]]) 15:54, August 21, 2020 (EDT)

| == Dimentio's design inspiration? (And the "dementia" thing) ==
| |
|
| |
| The very first sentence of the first paragraph says, ''"Dimentio is the true main antagonist in Super Paper Mario. His name is a pun on "dementia" and "dimension""''.
| |
|
| |
| I've never understood this. Where does the "dementia" thing come from? Admittedly I haven't played the game all the way through myself, but even looking it up I haven't found an answer why, and if there's some sort of connection in the original Japanese version then it wasn't translated properly into the localization. The only possible connection I can think of is his use of the Floro sprouts, which I guess can ''sort of'' count. Dementia is the cognitive functions degrading, which can cause memory issues, bizarre thought and language patterns, etc, which you can sort of see how Mr. L and O'Chunks/O'Cabbage show some of that. But... really? Is that really what that's supposed to reference? Intuitively (at least, I think it is,) it feels more natural that his name is a pun on ''"demented"'' and "dimension." I will admit, that probably depends on your perspective on how his name is pronounced ("Di-men-ti-yo" or "Deh-men-ti-yo" fits the demented/dimension pun, but "Di-men-chi-yo" or "Deh-men-chi-yo" or even "Deh-men-chyo" does somewhat connect to the "dementia" thing, I guess?) I feel like I've gone on about this bit for too long but I'm just so genuinely confused as to how his name is supposed to pun on dementia.

|
| |
| As for his design, I have an idea as to what it references: Venetian masks, or specifically just the costumes in general. If you look up "venetian carnival masquerade mask" and check images for whatever search engine, you'll hopefully see exactly what pictures I'm talking about because they bear a VERY STRONG resemblance to Dimentio's outfit, and especially his face + hat shape. Some costume designs just look similar to Dimentio's entire design in general! Not to mention, Venice is in Italy, and Dimentio's word choice? "Ciao" isn't just Italian, [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ciao THAT WORD CAME FROM VENETIAN SPECIFICALLY.]
| |
| (I'm aware that Dimentio drops far more French phrases in the Japanese release than he does in the English, which DOES still have him say a few things in French. This puts a bit of a hole in my theory, admittedly. It's possible that his design references a different culture, or that he's referencing multiple instead of just one. I'm hoping to get a Japanese copy of SPM at some point to try and figure out what was first intended.)

|
| |
| I've said all of this so it can explain my suggestions: Change "... pun on "dementia"" to "... pun on "demented"". The trivia section is probably the best spot to mention his (potential) connection to Venetian carnivals, but for right now I can't think of a good way to word it, I've been typing this on-and-off for an hour. I invested way too much time getting mad about the dementia pun. --[[User:Scribblementio|Scribblementio]] ([[User talk:Scribblementio|talk]]) 03:06, August 5, 2023 (EDT)

| |
| addendum: Apparently in a Nintendo Power issue it's confirmed his name is indeed a pun on "dementia." I cannot find an archive of any issues released within a few months of SPM's release since that's the best bet to confirm, so I guess maybe its best to leave that bit alone until I or someone else finds the specific issue that says it. --[[User:Scribblementio|Scribblementio]] ([[User talk:Scribblementio|talk]]) 15:02, August 5, 2023 (EDT)

| == Name Pronunciation ==
| |
|
| |
| Is it "Dim-en-tio" or "Dim-en-shio/chee-o". I like to pronounce it as the former, but I've seen some other people pronounce it as the latter. Which one is correct? [[Special:Contributions/98.114.59.56|98.114.59.56]] 10:24, December 15, 2024 (EST)
| |
| :According to the Russian transliteration, it's pronounced Dee-men-tee-o, if it was pronounced the latter, it would be spelled as "Дименшио". I guess either pronunciation is correct depending on the language, since there is no official way to pronounce the name. {{User:Ray Trace/sig}} 21:56, January 2, 2025 (EST)

| == "Deceased" category ==
| |
|
| |
| Isn't it confirmed that the explosion near the climax killed Dimentio? Because it's treated in-universe as such, plus, the other Mario Wiki reads him as dead. [[Special:Contributions/98.114.59.56|98.114.59.56]] 21:43, January 2, 2025 (EST)

| :Yeah, but we only use the deceased category for characters that are dead for a larger portion of the game than just the very end / final boss fight. See [[:Category:Deceased characters]]. [[User:Technetium|Technetium]] ([[User talk:Technetium|talk]]) 21:45, January 2, 2025 (EST)
