Glitz Pit

The Glitz Pit is a place in Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door in the world in the sky called Glitzville. The Glitz Pit is the main attraction in Glitzville. it is a huge stadium where fighters can battle each other, and can be awarded with Coins. The Glitz Pit is run by Grubba, and later, Jolene. The Glitz Pit's first known champion is Prince Mush, then Rawk Hawk, then Mario, and most recently, Baby Yoshi.

When Mario, Goombella, Koops, and Flurrie first arive at the Glitz pit, they see the champion, Rawk Hawk in action, and can see that he is wearing a Crystal Star on his Championship Belt. Mario and the gang decide they should join the Glitz Pit's fighters and work their way up through the ranks to get the Champ's Belt, and then get the Crystal Star. The group starts out in the Minor League, where they meet King K. Koopa, Bandy Andy, and Cleftor. The gang eventually gets an adition to their team, a newly hatched Baby Yoshi, who is the only one who can defeat the tough fighters, the Armored Harriets. King K and Bandy Andy suddenly dissipear, and are found later stuffed under a giant yellow block, struggling to stay alive. The heroes advance to the Majors, and eventually are about to fight Rawk Hawk.

The group gets locked in their locker room, as Rawk Hawk planned, so he could win by default. The gang finds a way to get out, and challenge Rawk Hawk, and defeat him, becoming the champ. The heros later find out that Grubba, who owns the Pit is the one who made Bandy and King K "dissipear", and sucks the life out of them for ever-lasting youth. The heroes fight Grubba, killing him and getting the Crystal Star. Prince Mush, the original Champ is released from Grubba's machine and is re-united with his sister, Jolene. The heroes claim the Crystal Star and are on their way.
