'''Super Dimentio''' is a gigantic clown-like puppet monster that serves as the final boss of ''[[Super Paper Mario]]''. It was created through a fusion of [[Mr. L]], [[Dimentio]] and the [[Chaos Heart]], and the official ''Super Paper Mario'' player's guide refers Super Dimentio as "Dimentio/Mr. L". According to [[the InterNed]], the battle theme of Super Dimentio is called "The Ultimate Show", and is composed of [[Dimentio]], [[Mr. L]] and the [[Chaos Heart]]'s themes remixed together.
'''Super Dimentio''' (also referred to as '''[[Mr. L]]/[[Dimentio]]''' by the ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'' [[Nintendo Power|Player's Guide]]<ref>''Super Paper Mario'' Player's Guide. Page 130.</ref>) is a gargantuan clown-like puppet monster that serves as the final boss of ''Super Paper Mario''. It was created through a fusion of Mr. L (after [[Luigi]] was brainwashed again), Dimentio, and the [[Chaos Heart]]. According to [[the InterNed]], the battle theme of Super Dimentio is called "The Ultimate Show," and is composed of [[Dimentio]], [[Mr. L]] and the [[Chaos Heart]]'s themes remixed together, though a majority of the theme's motifs are from Dimentio's theme.

Super Dimentio was born shortly after Dimentio assumed control of the Chaos Heart, which he obtained following the defeat of [[Count Bleck]]. It was stated in the [[Dark Prognosticus]] that [[Luigi]] is the ideal host for the Chaos Heart's power, so before the final battle, Dimentio placed the seed of a mind-controlling [[Floro Sprout]] in Luigi's head, and activates it when he seizes the Chaos Heart, causing Luigi to revert back into [[Mr. L]] and combine with the Chaos Heart. Dimentio then enters the monstrous puppet through its mouth, adding his power to the mix and creating the fully-realized Super Dimentio.

Super Dimentio harvested the power of the Chaos Heart, rendering him invincible to any of [[Mario]]'s, [[Peach]]'s, or [[Bowser]]'s attacks and thus putting into motion the destruction of all worlds. This is similar to the final bosses of two previous ''Paper Mario'' games: both Bowser and the [[Shadow Queen]]'s final form were initially invincible when faced in ''[[Paper Mario]]'' and ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', respectively. Earlier in ''Super Paper Mario'', Bleck also started off the battle as being untouchable.

==Powers and Abilities==
With Bleck, Nastasia, and Dimentio being the only one left of the team, Bleck and Dimentio face off against Mario, Luigi, Peach, Bowser and Tippi. Dimentio's only attack is to create a portal that tries to suck the four heroes in, but only Luigi falls into it. The portal is later revealed to lead to Dimension D. Dimentio sneakily steals the Chaos Heart and then reaches Luigi in his dimension and manages to fuse together. Meanwhile, Tippi is hit with one of Bleck's spell, and the Pixl's lost memory finally comes afloat. While Bleck promises to undo his plan, Super Dimentio appears right on top of him, squashing him (much to Tippi's despair). After briefly explaining to Mario what he has done, Super Dimentio attacks Mario, Bowser, and Peach, but the three resist each of his devastating blows and, full of hope and tenacity, they activate the Pure Hearts, which gives them the power of the [[Mega Star]]. Against three Mega heroes, Super Dimentio is defeated and disappears, leaving behind only an unconscious Luigi, signifying the Chaos Heart's (and the Void's) disappearance with Dimentio.
Super Dimentio seems to have physical (as opposed to Dimentio's magical) abilities in the game, which include a giant punch to the ground, jumping, and when its health is low, sliding along the ground from one end of the arena to the other. Other abilities seem to be based on Luigi's, including his signature super jump. The platforms around the arena gain a demonic grin reminiscent of Dimentio and move horizontally, in order to make jumping on Super Dimentio's head more difficult (though this can be used advantageously). Each platform can help Super Dimentio by shooting a flashing square projectile and, when signaled by Super Dimentio, a select few will fire at Mario one after the other (the projectile will be identified by a crosshair that appears where Mario was at the time). Flipping to 3D makes avoiding them easier and also makes the ones fired prior to flipping completely harmless. He also seems to possess an ability similar to the [[Pal Pill]] item, in that, should he be provoked by guarding techniques, Super Dimentio will then create several grunts that resemble 8-bit Luigis, that run and jump in the direction the player was when they were summoned, although they are incredibly weak enemies that die if they hit anything, including the walls surrounding the arena.

Despite being the final boss, [[Shadoo]] (with the heroes' dark clones' HP added altogether) is stronger than Super Dimentio. Interestingly enough, the [[Dark Muth]] also has higher HP and attack power, although Super Dimentio has significantly higher defense and was even invincible at the onset of the battle. Once he can be damaged, there are ways to avoid an arduous battle, such as using Slim to hide from attacks, or simply jumping onto Super Dimentio's shoulders when he extends his neck, and remain there, safe from most attacks and persistently jumping until he is defeated.

Super Dimentio (also referred to as Mr. L/Dimentio by the Super Paper Mario Player's Guide[1]) is a gargantuan clown-like puppet monster that serves as the final boss of Super Paper Mario. It was created through a fusion of Mr. L (after Luigi was brainwashed again), Dimentio, and the Chaos Heart. According to the InterNed, the battle theme of Super Dimentio is called "The Ultimate Show," and is composed of Dimentio, Mr. L and the Chaos Heart's themes remixed together, though a majority of the theme's motifs are from Dimentio's theme.

History[edit]

Super Paper Mario[edit]

Super Dimentio was created shortly after Dimentio assumed control of the Chaos Heart, which he obtained following the defeat of Count Bleck. It was stated in the Dark Prognosticus that Luigi is the ideal host for the Chaos Heart's power, so, before the final battle, Dimentio placed the seed of a mind-controlling Floro Sprout in Luigi's head and activates it when he seizes the Chaos Heart, causing Luigi to revert to Mr. L and combine with the Chaos Heart to create a giant puppet. Dimentio then enters the entity through its mouth, adding his power to the mix and creating the fully-realized Super Dimentio.

Super Dimentio right after being created.

Super Dimentio harvested the power of the Chaos Heart, rendering him impervious to any of Mario's, Princess Peach's or Bowser's attacks and thus putting into motion the destruction of all worlds. This is similar to the final bosses of two previous Paper Mario games: Both Bowser and the Shadow Queen's final form were initially invincible when faced in Paper Mario and Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, respectively. Count Bleck also started off his battle as being invincible.

While the three heroes tried to fight it, in Dimension D, where Dimentio had imprisoned Count Bleck, Tippi and Nastasia, Count Bleck and his minions expressed feelings of hope and love, restoring the Pure Hearts. The Pure Hearts were then used upon Super Dimentio to weaken the power of the Chaos Heart, nullifying his invincibility and starting the real final battle.

Super Dimentio also appears in the Super Mario-kun manga's Super Paper Mario storyline, where he fills the same role as in the original game but with some differences.

With Bleck, Nastasia, and Dimentio being the only one left of the team, Bleck and Dimentio face off against Mario, Luigi, Peach, Bowser and Tippi. Dimentio's only attack is to create a portal that tries to suck the four heroes in, but only Luigi falls into it. The portal is later revealed to lead to Dimension D.

Super Dimentio has physical (as opposed to Dimentio's magical) abilities in the game, which include a giant punch to the ground, jumping, and (when its health is low) sliding along the ground from one end of the arena to the other.

Power[edit]

Despite Super Dimentio being the final boss, Shadoo (with the heroes' dark clones' HP added altogether) is stronger than Super Dimentio; additionally, Brobot has higher health and has the same defense as Super Dimentio on the body. The Dark Muth also has higher HP and attack power, although Super Dimentio has significantly higher defense on the body and was even invincible at the start of the battle.
