In ''Super Paper Mario'', a Game Over is the equivalent of death, as extra lives make "death" a mild inconvenience.<ref>A Shayde: "Huh? What'd you say? "What's The Underwhere?" ...You're kidding, right? Man, for a guy with no extra lives, you're sure hilarious! Isn't it obvious? This is where people go when their games are OVER! Some call it "World -1"..."</ref>

In that game, Dimentio sends Mario and his teammates to "the next world," albeit "while still very much alive,"<ref>Queen Jaydes: And by the way, it may please you to know that your game is not truly over. Somehow, you were sent to The Underwhere while still very much alive... My power can return you to your world if you so wish...</ref> which is similar to the philosophy of the afterlife. Mario, Luigi, and Bowser end up in The Underwhere, which resembles {{wp|hell}}, where some [[Shayde]]s ask Mario how his "game," referring to his life, was. Also, many Shaydes can be seen discussing how they got a Game Over. [[The Overthere]] resembles {{wp|heaven}}, surrounded by clouds, the sun, and rainbows. Princess Peach ends up there.

That said, all the conversations in The Underwhere seem to suggest that Shaydes can request an audience with Queen Jaydes, who will weigh in their sins and send them to The Overthere, submit them to punishments befitting of their crimes, or even return them to the land of the playing if the situation calls it.

One Shayde speculates that if a person dies in The Underwhere or The Overthere while already dead, their aftergame ends and they go to a "post-aftergame."

When Count Bleck was using [[The Void]] to destroy all worlds, The Void also appeared in The Overthere, indicating that it would even destroy the aftergame. Where all the dead characters (or even all the characters altogether) would have gone following the aftergame's destruction is unknown; however, a young [[Flip-Flop Folk|Flip-Flop]] girl speculates that the souls of the deceased would be forced to drift aimlessly in the empty white space left behind by The Void due to being left without a world or aftergame to reside in, a fate deemed both sad and boring.

[[File:MOM Game Over.png|thumb|150px|The Game Over screen in ''Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis'']]
In ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong]]'', the Game Over screen depicts a depressed [[Mario]] and the outlined words "GAME OVER," as well as two choices: "Restart" and "Quit." If the player selects "Restart," the stage where the player lost is restarted, but if the player selects "Quit," the game returns to the stage-selection screen. If the player stays on the Game Over screen, Mario can be heard snoring while saying, ''"Spaghetti,"'' or ''"Ravioli."'' In the [[Mario vs. Donkey Kong (Nintendo Switch)|Nintendo Switch remake]], the "GAME OVER" text is red with a white outline. [[Toad]] appears alongside Mario upon the player getting a Game Over during multiplayer. Instead of snoring and saying, ''"Spaghetti,"'' or ''"Ravioli,"'' Mario sighs on occasion if the player stays on the Game Over screen.
