Glitz Pit



The Glitz Pit is an arena that Mario and company must fight their way through in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. There are many fighters here, including Rawk Hawk, King K, Bandy Andy, the Armored Harriers, The Koopinator, Hamma, Bamma and Flare, every fighter with the exception of King Bowser, who can barge into the ring and fight Mario and his teammates after they defeated an opponent. Grubba, the promoter, used the Gold Star to power his machine that's hidden under the arena. Ever since Jolene's brother, Prince Mush found out about his machine, Prince Mush mysteriously disappeared, so Jolene went undercover and enlisted Mario and his friends' help to defeat Grubba.

The Glitz Pit can be accessed by either the first doorway in the main hall, or the second story door, up a flight of stairs. Mario can talk to spectators but can't get through the crowd. The fighters change whenever Mario enters the arena. Watching them is a little boring since all they do is bump into each other.
