Editing The Void

{{quote|It is a hole in the very dimensional fabric of space! Such a strange phenomenon... Is it near or far? None know, It may appear small now, but it will only grow. And in the end it will swallow all existence.. All worlds, all dimensions...|Merlon|Super Paper Mario}}

'''The Void''' is an inter-dimensional hole in the game ''[[Super Paper Mario]]''. Its purpose is to increasingly grow in size and consume and destroy "all worlds" in accordance with a prophecy outlined in the [[Dark Prognosticus]]. The Void was created by the creation of the [[Chaos Heart]], formed by [[Count Bleck]] through the forced marriage of [[Bowser]] to [[Princess Peach]]. According to [[Merlon]], the center of The Void is where [[Castle Bleck]] is situated.

The Void appears as an ominous, pulsing [[Black Hole]] that hovers in the skies above. Its size varies depending on the dimension one is in, as each dimension is a different distance from The Void. Frequent waves of tremors show that The Void is becoming large enough to be destructive. When The Void finally becomes large and close enough to destroy a dimension, the tremors become earth-shattering, space begins to warp, and flashes of light consume all matter, leaving behind a stark, white realm of nothingness. An example of this occurs when the purple [[Pure Heart]] is sucked through The Void with [[Sammer's Kingdom]] and is turned to stone in the [[World of Nothing]] that remains; ultimately, [[Queen Jaydes]] of [[The Underwhere]], with her "power over life and death", is able to restore the pure heart.

Other than Sammer's Kingdom, The Void also destroys the [[Land of the Cragnons]], [[Flopside]], and [[Yold Town]], while [[Flipside]], [[Lineland]], [[The Underwhere]], [[The Overthere]], [[Gloam Valley]], [[Outer Space]], [[Whoa Zone|The Whoa Zone]], [[The Bitlands]], and Castle Bleck narrowly avoid destruction. The Void is closed following the destruction of the Chaos Heart, which occurs through the voluntary marriage of Count Bleck to [[Tippi]] thus restoring all the destroyed worlds.

==Trivia==
*In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s Adventure Mode, the large patch of [[Subspace (Super Smash Bros. Brawl)|Subspace]] that Subspace Bombs leave resemble the Void.
*The Void is similar to [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/The_Void the similarly-named Void] from ''Final Fantasy V''. Both are inter-dimensional rifts controlled by the main villain of the story to consume worlds and leave nothing behind. They are even similar in appearance.
