Dimentio

**Dimentio** is an enigmatic man of mystery who is in charge of the Collective. He is a major antagonist of the series, acting as the main antagonist of the *Dimentio Saga*, while also having a background presence earlier on in the series.

As the direct cause of the Quantum Collision, Dimentio can be seen as effectively being the main antagonist of the series as a whole; even beyond the *Dimentio Saga*. His goal is to destroy all worlds using the Void, in order to create his own perfect world in their place.

## Biography

### Past

At some point, Dimentio approached Count Bleck and asked to be recruited by him in order to fulfil the latter's plans. Bleck refused, but later changed his mind after reading about a man of similar description in the Dark Prognosticus.

Dimentio later served Count Bleck in his bid to destroy all worlds, secretly plotting to betray him. His first order of business was to corrupt Fracktail into attacking Mario and Tippi. He later confronted Mario and friends in the Bitlands, but was soundly defeated.

Dimentio later appeared in the Floro Palace to meet with an acquaintance to test Floro Sprouts, mind-controlling plants, that they had created. Encountering the herpes here, he decided to test the Floro Sprouts by sprouting one on O'Chunks. After O'Chunks was defeated, they both left.

Dimentio later conspired to send Count Bleck's minions after Mario and friends after Count Bleck ordered them not to. After Mr. L's failure, Dimentio appeared to him in order to "eliminate" him. Following this, he appeared in Merlon's House to enact the same deed to Mario, Peach and Bowser, sending them all to the Underwhere, where they could restore their drained Pure Heart, and later find the final one.

Dimentio later reappeared deep within Castle Bleck, where he revealed to Mario and Luigi his plans to dispose of Bleck and take his place, attempting to trick them into joining him. They refused, so Dimentio plotted to destroy them, coaxing Luigi into fighting him alone, in order to enact the final stage in his plan.

After Mario and friends defeated Count Bleck, Dimentio revealed himself and took control of the Chaos Heart, intending to destroy all worlds and replace them with perfect new ones. Luigi suddenly sprang into action, thanks to a Floro Sprout planted deep into his subconscious, and was forcibly fused with the Chaos Heart to create a monstrous beast that Dimentio quickly fused with, calling himself Super Dimentio. Using his new Chaos Heart powers, Dimentio rapidly expanded the Void.

Tippi soon returned with the revitalised Pure Hearts, stripping Dimentio of his invulnerability, allowing Mario and friends to defeat him once and for all. Despite Luigi being freed and the Chaos Heart ejected from his body, Dimentio announced one last trick up his sleeve as he exploded, leaving a shadow of his power to continue to control the Chaos Heart, though it was later destroyed for good by the Pure Hearts and the love of Tippi and Count Bleck.

Secretly, however, this same shadow of power continued to live on, making its way to the Paracosm, Dimentio's personal hideout, inhabiting a cloned body created by his three scientists, seemingly serving as a contingency plan.

Dimentio later planned to manipulate events, planning to bring three worlds together in his new bid to annihilate all of creation. For this, he travelled to the Sol World, stealing the Jeweled Scepter. He was met with resistance from Blaze and Gardon, but they were easily defeated.

### Background Presence

Dimentio laid waste to Maginaryworld in order to steal the Precioustone. He briefly fought Illumina, but defeated her, splitting her into Lumina and Void. Void vowed to become stronger and use the Time Stones of his ancestors to travel back through time to defeat him. Later, a time-travelling Void was forced to watch as the destruction unfolded along with Mario.

Dimentio later discarded the Jeweled Scepter by selling it to Nitros Oxide, informing him of its properties, aware that Oxide was an obsessive racer. He also suggested on how Oxide should use it, ominously referring to how another was able to annex planets together in the past, both with and without the staff.

### Legacy

Dimentio's meddling with the Rift later caused the Brotherhood of Metallix's assault ship to crash in the Sol World, where Metallix would set up a base. The ship Tartarus, containing the loyalists of Velo's broken regime, were also displaced and stranded.

The weakened state of the Rift later allowed Erazor Djinn to escape his prison and travel to Mario's world seeking revenge. The fault also allowed Nazo to move between Rifts in a destructive rampage.

## Trivia

* Dimentio's continued survival following the events of *Super Paper Mario* is based on how Emperor Palpatine used the Force transfer his consciousness to a new clone body moments prior to his death aboard the second Death Star during the events of *Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi*, as revealed in *Star Wars Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker*.
	+ How he does this, however, is shown onscreen during a flashback, unlike with Palpatine.
* Dimentio's powers and abilities seen in the series are based on those exhibited by the G-Man from the *Half-Life* series, as well as that of Bill Cipher from *Gravity Falls*, and Vex from *Sackboy: A Big Adventure*.
	+ Dimentio also has the ability to distort his voice much like Bill Cipher does.
	+ Dimentio's facial expressions, physical movement and general personality seen throughout the *Dimentio Saga* are derived from those of Vex.
		- His use of Uproar is also based on Vex's abilities.
