'''The Void''' is an interdimensional rift in the game ''[[Super Paper Mario]]''. Its purpose is to increasingly grow in size before it starts to consume and destroy "[[all worlds]]". The Void was caused by the bringing of the [[Chaos Heart]], which was created by [[Count Bleck]] after marrying [[Bowser]] to [[Princess Peach]]. According to [[Merlon]] the center of The Void is where [[Castle Bleck]] is situated, or at least an area similar to such.

*The Void could be seen in [[the Overthere]], indicating that it was going to destroy the aftergame as well. What would have happened to the victims of The Void, or any characters who died in general had this dimension been destroyed is unknown. The Void could not be seen in [[The Underwhere]], though, implying that The Void's victims might be sent there (since it is one of the most unpleasant worlds a person could be sent to). However, it is also likely that the Void couldn't be seen in the Underwhere due to fact that the Underwhere is underneath the Overthere, and thus underground. Additionally, it is mentioned a few times by various [[Shayde]]s that the Underwhere is not so unpleasant and it is implied there is a worse place below the Underwhere, where [[Bonechill]] was imprisoned. Also, The Void is supposed to destroy everything, so there is no reason why it would spare a single dimension or place. Instead, it is likely that the places would have been completely erased, like Sammer's Kingdom, leaving only empty space.

“It is a hole in the very dimensional fabric of space! Such a strange phenomenon... Is it near or far? None know. It may appear small now, but it will only grow. And in the end, it will swallow all existence... All worlds, all dimensions...”

The Void in its beginning stage

The Void is an inter-dimensional hole in the game Super Paper Mario. Its purpose is to grow in size increasingly and consume and destroy "all worlds" in accordance with a prophecy outlined in the Dark Prognosticus. The Void was created by the summoning of the Chaos Heart, formed by Count Bleck through the forced marriage of Bowser to Princess Peach. According to Merlon, the center of The Void is where Castle Bleck is situated.

The Void appears as an ominous, pulsing black hole that hovers in the skies above. Its size varies depending on the dimension one is in, as each dimension is a different distance from The Void, on top of the part of the story the player is in, as the Void grows larger throughout the story. Frequent waves of tremors show that The Void is becoming large enough to be destructive. When The Void finally becomes large and close enough to destroy a dimension, the tremors become earth-shattering, space begins to warp, and flashes of light consume all matter, leaving behind a stark, white realm of nothingness. An example of this occurs when the purple Pure Heart is sucked through The Void with Sammer's Kingdom and is turned to stone in the World of Nothing that remains.

Other than Sammer's Kingdom, The Void also destroys Yold Town, Flopside, and the Land of the Cragnons during the final battle with Super Dimentio in Chapter 8-4. The Void is closed following the destruction of the Chaos Heart, which occurs through the voluntary marriage of Count Bleck to Tippi thus restoring all the destroyed worlds.
