Editing The Void

[[Image:SPM_TheVoid.JPG|right|thumb|'''The Void''' in its beginning stage.]]
'''The Void''' is an interdimensional rift in the game ''[[Super Paper Mario]]''. Its purpose is to increasingly grow in size before it starts to consume and destroy "[[all worlds]]". The Void was caused by the bringing of the [[Chaos Heart]], which was created by [[Count Bleck]] after marrying [[Bowser]] to [[Princess Peach]]. According to [[Merlon]] the center of The Void is where [[Castle Bleck]] is situated, or at least an area similar to such.

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 indicate that The Void is becoming large enough to be destructive. When The Void finally becomes large and close enough to destroy, the tremors become earth-shattering, space begins to warp and flashes of light consume all matter, leaving behind a stark, white realm of nothingness. If a [[Pure Heart]] goes through The Void it turns to stone and cannot be placed in a [[Heart Pillar]]; only [[Queen Jaydes]] of [[The Underwhere]] can restore its power.

The only dimension to be utterly obliterated by The Void was [[Sammer's Kingdom]], while [[Flipside]], [[Flopside]], [[Lineland]], and the [[Land of the Cragnons]] only became dangerously close to destruction. The Void was closed after the Chaos Heart was destroyed by the Pure Hearts brought forward when Count Bleck and [[Tippi]] married, and Sammer's Kingdom was restored as a result.

== Trivia ==
*Although The Void is always referred to as "The Void" (with a capital "the") in-game regardless of position in sentences, Count Bleck calls the dark hole "the Void" in [[Nintendo]]'s [http://wii.nintendo.com/site/spm/ ''Super Paper Mario'' website].

-'''The Void''' is an inter-dimensional hole in ''[[Super Paper Mario]]''. Its purpose is to grow in size increasingly and consume and destroy "all worlds" in accordance with a prophecy outlined in the [[Dark Prognosticus]]. The Void was created by the summoning 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, on top of the part of the story the player is in, as the Void grows larger throughout the story. 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.

-Other than Sammer's Kingdom, The Void also destroys [[Yold Town]], [[Flopside]], and the [[Land of the Cragnons]] during the final battle with [[Super Dimentio]] in [[Castle Bleck Inner Sanctum|Chapter 8-4]]. 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.

-* The Light Prognosticus refers to the Void as "the chaos world" in addition to being a hole in the dimensional fabric, suggesting that it may also have been a pre-existing realm in addition to being a space between worlds.
