Everlasting, I played through Super Paper Mario again and I remembered that Mario never was killed by Dimentio, simply blasted to another dimension.

We see the door to the Underwhere open later, and was already implied to be separate dimensions. When Mario is first blasted to the Underwhere, Queen Jaydes, the queen of the dead, even says Mario's game isn't over, so he didn't actually die. Hell, everyone beforehand says ask Queen Jaydes and she'll tell you your game is over. Mario talked to her, and she said his game wasn't over...

So, it wasn't PIS actually.
