Outer Space
Outer Space is the setting of Chapter 4 in Super Paper Mario. It should be noted that Chapter 4 may not take place in the outer space above the Mushroom Kingdom, but instead the outer space of a different dimension. At first, the heroes are unable to survive in Outer Space, as there is not any air to breathe. Instead, they need a space helmet or something like it. Merlon had previously given a fishbowl to Pook, but the fish, Captain Gills, was getting too big for it. Pook agrees to give Mario the fishbowl, but only if he finds Captain Gills a place nearby to live. After setting Captain Gills in the canal on the basement floor of Flipside, the heroes proceed to Outer Space. Here, the heroes meet Squirps, a mysterious alien creature. He functions as their ray gun for stages 4-1 and 4-3, as well as in the battle against Brobot. They got attacked by Fotons, Jelliens, and Warpids. They had to do a Squarp Hole maze, before the goal.
Outer Space will also appear in the upcoming Super Mario Galaxy. However it is unknown if the Outer Space in this game will get a name different that "Outer Space" or if it even will get a name.
