The '''Whoa Zone''' is an area in [[Outer Space|Chapter 4]] of ''[[Super Paper Mario]]''. It gets its name from its appearance:  bizarre and disorienting. According to [[Squirps]], this area is also known as the "Space Graveyard", a prohibited zone and complicated maze. Squirps says it is impossible to get out of the area, and the [[Pure Heart]] of Outer Space is supposedly hidden at its end. [[Mario]], [[Princess Peach|Peach]], and [[Bowser]] must, with the aid of special [[door]]s and blocks, walk on the walls and ceilings to traverse this area. At the end waits [[Mr. L]] and [[Brobot]]. Squirps was instructed by [[Squirpina XIV|his mother]] 1,500 years before ''Super Paper Mario''<nowiki>'s</nowiki> setting to bring the heroes here so that they may claim the Pure Heart.

The Whoa Zone is reached by going through the [[Outer Limits]], also known as the "Space Bypass" or "Space Byway."  It is unknown if there is any other way to access the area (though there is technically not in-game); the Outer Limits entrance is actually a mere shortcut.
