'''Shaydes''' are the residents of [[The Underwhere]] in ''[[Super Paper Mario]]''. After someone dies in the 2-D dimension, they become these. Some actually believe that their lives in the aftergame are better than they were before their games ended. Conversations that they have include the conditions of one another's deaths, what happens to those who falls in the [[River Twygz]], and whether or not they can go to the [[Overthere]].

*The name "Shayde" is a corruption of "shade", a similar undead spirit that existed in the Greek underworld.

*Shaydes bear some resemblance to [[Skellobit]]s from the same game. It can seem as if the Skellobit's are shaydes equipped with weapons (primarily spears). It is also implied that Shaydes who were evil in life become Skellobits when [[Jaydes]] condemns them to suffer for eternity.

Shaydes are the residents of The Underwhere in Super Paper Mario. Their name is a corruption of "shade", the spirit of a person residing in the underworld in Greek mythology. While relatively sinless people are sent to The Overthere and become Nimbis and evil people are turned into Skellobits and have to suffer in the depths of The Underwhere, people who fit in between the two poles in life become Shaydes after they get a Game Over (i.e., after they die). They neither suffer nor prosper in The Underwhere, although some do feel that their so-called "aftergames" as Shaydes are better than their former lives. Mostly, they seem to spend their time sitting around The Underwhere talking to each other. They muse about their chances of going to The Overthere, the fates of others, and most commonly, how they died. For example, one Shayde was killed by a Micro Goomba, while another said he got sick with multicolored viruses (which is a reference to Dr. Mario). Another said he died by a Poison 1-Up, while another turned into a "Boss Bass Snack".
