Glitzville (ウーロン街 Ūron-gai?, Oolong Town) is a floating city that hovers above Rogueport in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. The city is the main setting for Chapter 3.
Layout[]
The city is actually not much of a city at all. It is in a large oval-like shape and is rocketed into the sky, high above Rogueport. This makes the city only accessible via a Cheep Blimp. To ride on the blimp, one must have a special ticket and Mario obtains one from the mob boss on the far west side of Rogueport. On the left side of the city, a shop can be seen. Inside of the shop is a variety of items with some ranging prices. North of the shop is a hot dog stand which is the only place to get hot dogs and, if a certain task is completed, hot sauce too.
On the other side of the city, another shop is found. This shop isn't an actual shop, rather a bar of sorts. Mario goes here to collect a special gift, this gift being the Super Hammer. Above this building is a large billboard, which is used to get on top of the hot dog stand. Once on top, Mario gets Yoshi Kid as his newest partner.
Glitz Pit[]
The Glitz Pit is located here, in this floating city. Inside of the Glitz Pit are many adoring fans of the fights that take place there. The Glitz Pit is a huge fighting arena in which travelers from all over duel in battles of skill and fighting prowess. The long-time champion of the Pit has gone missing and a new challenger, Rawk Hawk, has stepped forward. The stadium is owned by a mysterious Clubba who goes by the name of Grubba. Grubba owns and operates the facility as well as oversees all fights in the arena.
Trivia[]
- Throughout the city, Mario can see many billboards of the teams in the Glitz Pit.
- Mario is "The Great Gonzales" to the people of Glitzville.
- Only the rich can gain access to the city, thus Goldbob, a Bob-omb who reappears during Chapter 6, is there.
- This is the only place in this game where a telephone booth is located. By using the phone inside, Mario can get calls from Professor Frankly, a pizza place, Luigi, and many others.
- Glitzville is the most urbanized city in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, despite the fact that, by size and population, it's one of the smallest.
