This is a bit of a "well, duh" topic. I just thought I'd post it, to bring life to the boards.
In Chapter 7 of Super Paper Mario, Mario and co. visit the Underwhere, home of the deceased. The game makes it very clear this is the afterlife. And not just for Super Paper Mario- stuff from the main series, such as Micro-Goombas is also mentioned. So the Underwhere could, at the very least, be the afterlife for the Mushroom Kingdom.
However, it could go further than that. Given how Super Paper Mario is a multidimensional story, as well as a sequel to the other Paper Mario games, SPM's baddies may not be the only ones down there. As Mario defeated the Shadow Queen in TTYD, she could be somewhere deep below. Prior to Paper Jam's framing device, other vanquished villains like Cackletta and Elder Princess Shroob could have been down there. Depending on how Nintendo decides to proceed, they still could.
While this may be a dumb thought, why stop at the games? While Nintendo can't/won't acknowledge it for legal and personal reasons, perhaps the Dennis Hopper version of Bowser is down there, too.
One more thing. Given how people can leave the Underwhere/Overthere with special methods, the Underwhere's existence could explain how, despite being destroyed in Sticker Star, Kamek and Petey came back for Paper Jam. Sure, they could have been called from just Sticker Star itself- but there is another established way they could have been summoned after said game, despite their grisly demises.
