==Storyline==
There are many fighters encountered here, including [[Rawk Hawk]], [[King K]], [[Bandy Andy]], the [[Armored Harriers]], [[The Koopinator]], [[Hamma, Bamma, and Flare]], and even [[Bowser]] at one point, who barges into the ring and fights Mario and his teammates after they reach Rank 5. At first, Mario and his partners fight for the [[Champ's Belt]] which has the [[Gold Star]] on it, which later turns out to be fake. In the meanwhile, they gain a [[Mini-Yoshi|Yoshi partner]] and the [[Super Hammer]], and begin to learn about the mysterious events happening around the arena.

==Fighting orders==
==Battle conditions==
Below is a list of the various orders Grubba (Jolene if the Glitz Pit is replayed) gives [[Mario]] during his time at the Glitz Pit. Most of the time the order will be chosen at random (and is prone to save & load manipulation). For Mario's first battle, however, the order will always be to appeal to the crowd at least once.<ref>Malleoz et al (March 2, 2014). [https://tasvideos.org/4148S.html Submission #4148: Malleoz, CoolKirby & Masterjun's GC Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door in 4:52:30.72]. ''TASVideos''. Retrieved on August 9, 2016.</ref> At one point Grubba also instructs [[Sir Swoop]] to "do a triple flip and meow." And for Mario's final battle (with [[Rawk Hawk]]), the order is to use a special move, but it is unnecessary.<ref>Mark Wong (February 18, 2009).

To progress in the Glitz Pit, Grubba (or Jolene once [[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door#Chapter 3: Of Glitz and Glory|Chapter 3]] is completed) will impose a special condition on [[Mario]] during his battles. The condition must be fulfilled for a victory to be counted and to move up the rankings. There are several possible conditions and usually it is randomly chosen, though some battles in Chapter 3 have fixed conditions. For Mario's first battle the order will always be to appeal to the crowd at least once.<ref>Malleoz et al (March 2, 2014).

Retrieved on August 9, 2016.</ref> For the championship match against [[Rawk Hawk]], [[Mario]] will always be instructed to use a special move, though uniquely it is not actually required to be performed.<ref>Mark Wong (February 18, 2009). [https://speeddemosarchive.com/PaperMarioTTYD.html Speed Demos Archive - Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]. ''Speed Demos Archive''. Retrieved August 12, 2016.</ref> Evidently, other fighters are given conditions that Mario will never be instructed to perform, as at one point Grubba instructs [[Sir Swoop]] to "do a triple flip and meow."
*Use a [[List of moves|special move]] at least once.
 
*Don't use any special moves.
The condition Mario is given will be displayed briefly at the start of a battle in the Glitz Pit. In the [[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Nintendo Switch)|Nintendo Switch version]], the condition will also be displayed for the full duration of battle in the lower-left corner of the screen. Additionally, it will be highlighted in green and marked with a green checkmark when it is successfully fulfilled.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=STN-18qLKKM Paper Mario: TTYD Gameplay Compilation IN ORDER - Direct Feed No Commentary] Retrieved April 28, 2024.</ref>
