Template:Articleabout Template:Level The Overthere is a place visited in the latter half of Chapter 7 of Super Paper Mario. It is essentially the opposite of The Underwhere. The ruler of The Overthere is King Grambi, husband of Queen Jaydes, ruler of The Underwhere. The Overthere is inhabited by Nimbis, angel-like beings who speak in pseudo-Elizabethan English. The only way to reach The Overthere is via the Overthere Stair, a series of clouds and Jump-Over Clouds leading up from Underwhere Road. There is an Itty Bits shop in The Overthere, located near the Rainbow Bridge. Its most notable item in stock is the Hot Sauce, and it also sells Hot Dogs.

Chapter 7-4: A Bone-Chilling Tale

At some point before the heroes' arrival in the dimension, Bonechill, a self-proclaimed "master of the cold dark," and his army of Skellobits were released from their prison in The Underwhere by Count Bleck. They escaped from the dark realm and laid siege on the Overthere in an attempt to capture the Pure Heart said to be held by King Grambi. As Bonechill took over Grambi's abode, the Skellobits--reaching as far as the upper reaches of the Overthere Stair--attacked and imprisoned the Nimbis.

Mario, Princess Peach, Bowser, and Luigi scour the various sectors of the Overthere for three colored orbs (the Red Orb, the Blue Orb, and the Yellow Orb) needed to reconstruct the bridge leading to Grambi's palace. Once inside, the heroes encounter Bonechill and learn that Luvbi, daughter to Grambi and Jaydes and traveling companion of the heroes, is an embodiment of the Pure Heart. Shocked, Luvbi confronts Grambi but is then ordered by Tippi to get him to safety. Once this is done, the heroes combat and defeat Bonechill, after which Luvbi learns the truth about her identity from her parents. Following an emotional exchange between the three of them, Luvbi becomes resigned to her fate and assumes her Pure Heart form, asking Mario to save all worlds as her dying wish.
