Currently Paper Mario is listed as having Immortality Types 4 and 8 due to a line from Queen Jaydes saying she'll "tip the scales in the Heroes' favor should their games be over"
While this would be pretty cool, it's a very vague statement. While yes, she does have power over life and death, her primary role as Queen of the Underwhere is to weigh the sins of the previously living, and therefore deciding if they should be allowed into the Overthere. (If the timestamp doesn't work skip to 9:34)
It's not exactly a leap in logic to assume this is actually what she's talking about. Scales refer to a weighting system, which is her primary thing she dles in judging the souls of the dead. She never canonically revives anyone because the Party isn't dead as well when Dimentio does his thing, which I think is part of this assumption.
There's also the Japanese text of this quote, which only really says "If you die, come to me and I will give you sweet treats" (again if it doesn't work skip to 24:20 and pause)
It's very clear this isn't remotely what the quote is supposed to imply. Considering the context it's just Jaydes being sweeter on Mario and Co. when they die, not specifically saying she's granting them immortality that would completely cheat death. That doesn't even seen remotely in character for her.
Conclusion: Immortality Types 4 and 8 gotta go.
