The '''Glitz Pit''' is an arena located in [[Glitzville]] in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''. It is where Mario takes on the fighter name "The Great Gonzales" and fights his way through along with his partners in [[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door#Chapter 3: Of Glitz and Glory|Chapter 3]].


The '''Glitz Pit''' is an arena located in [[Glitzville]] in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'' and [[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Nintendo Switch)|its Nintendo Switch remake]]. It is the main attraction of Glitzville, with fighters competing in the Glitz Pit seeking glory, and wealthy individuals betting on the outcome of matches in the arena. Mario and his partners are introduced to the Glitz Pit as they search for the third [[Crystal Star]], the [[Gold Star]], within Glitzville. Realizing that it forms part of the [[Champ's Belt]], Mario joins the Glitz Pit as a fighter to win the championship and the belt for himself.
==Storyline==
There are many fighters encountered here, including [[Rawk Hawk]], [[KP Pete]], [[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 learn about the mysterious events happening around the arena.


The public-facing areas of the Glitz Pit consist of the main lobby, and the arena itself, which is accessed through either the lower or upper doorways in the center of the lobby. Mario can talk to some of the spectators, but will not be able move through the dense crowd. Random fighters can be seen competing on stage, jumping on or bumping into one another. Occasionally, a huge crowd of red and orange Toads and Lakitu appear in the lobby, but can be cleared away using the [[hammer]].
[[Grubba]], the promoter, used the Gold Star to power his [[power-draining machine|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. They eventually fight him as [[Macho Grubba]], the true final boss of the Chapter, and thwart his plans.


Backstage, there is a long corridor surrounding the arena, two minor-league and two major-league locker rooms, the champion's room, the promoter's office, and a locked storage room. The locker rooms are divided into red and blue teams, though Mario can typically only access the red locker rooms on the left side of the corridor. The blue locker rooms on the right side are only accessible shortly before Mario's fight with [[Rawk Hawk]].
After Chapter 3, Jolene takes over Grubba's duties and becomes the arena's manager. Mario and his partners can optionally return to the arena and resume fighting from the minor leagues. Several sidequests in the [[Trouble Center]] also require returning to the arena to interact with Jolene.


==Synopsis==
==Description==
In [[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door#Chapter 3: Of Glitz and Glory|Chapter 3]], Mario and his partners witness a match between [[The Koopinator]] and the arena's reigning champion, [[Rawk Hawk]]. During the fight, they discover that the [[Gold Star]] forms part of the [[Champ's Belt]]. Knowing that they cannot steal the belt from Rawk Hawk, Mario signs up as a fighter to become the Glitz Pit champion and win the belt through legitimate means. At the insistence of the arena's promoter, [[Grubba]], Mario takes on the mantle of "''The Great Gonzales''" as he fights his way up the ranks of the Glitz Pit. Grubba's assistant [[Jolene]] guides Mario through the process of matches in the Glitz Pit, but is otherwise cold towards him and his partners.
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 the many spectators, but will not be able get through the dense crowd. The fighters change whenever Mario enters the arena, but will always fight by jumping onto and bumping into each other.


During the chapter, Mario faces numerous opponents and learns of several mysteries surrounding the Glitz Pit, including the disappearance of the previous champion [[Prince Mush]]. After one match, a friendly rival, [[King K]], suggests to Mario that he visits the [[Hot Dog Stand]] outside. There, he discovers a bouncing egg attempting to escape the vendor's proprietor, [[Mr. Hoggle]], who reluctantly agrees to allow the egg to accompany Mario. [[King K]] retires from the Glitz Pit, and Mario's progress to the major league is met with a roadblock when facing [[The Iron Adonis Twins]]. He is forced to forfeit the match due to their seemingly impenetrable durability. Upon returning to the locker room, the egg is revealed to have hatched into a [[Yoshi Kid]] who joins Mario's party and who easily dispatches The Iron Adonis Twins by swallowing one and spitting it at the other.  
There are two sets of locker rooms: one blue and one red. The red major league and minor league locker rooms that Mario and his friends are assigned to are all on the left, while the blue ones are on the right. The blue ones are not accessible except for when Mario and Co. are temporarily trapped in the blue minor league room (and by extension the blue major league room) before their fight with [[Rawk Hawk]].


Following his victory, Mario is promoted to the major league. He is confronted in the locker room by [[Rawk Hawk]], and Mario's partner is able to determine that the Gold Star on his belt is a fake. Mario works to solve the mysteries of the Glitz Pit in between matches with the aid of a mysterious individual known as "X", who contacts Mario exclusively through email. During the course of his investigation, a fighter known as [[Bandy Andy]] has gone missing, and is believed to have been spirited away by Rawk Hawk. Mario acquires the [[Super Hammer]] and discovers King K and Bandy Andy drained of their vitality, trapped under a large block in the arena's storage room. Bandy Andy advises Mario not to go to the arena when strange lights are showing, before collapsing from exhaustion. As Mario and his partners leave the room, they catch Jolene spying on them and ponder what it happening.
== Seven Wonders of the Glitz Pit ==
According to [[Bandy Andy]], the fighters within the Glitz Pit are said to pass stories of a set of mysteries that surround the arena, at least prior to Mario's interference. Bandy Andy himself sets out to study these mysteries, but is forcibly silenced by Grubba when he learns too much. Throughout the subplot, all seven wonders are encountered and explained.


Eventually, Mario reaches the top rank and faces off against the champion, Rawk Hawk, winning the match and the [[Champ's Belt]]. While inside the champion's room, Mario and his friends overhear a conversation through an air vent in which Grubba states that he will eliminate Jolene and Mario, as they are getting too close to discovering his plans. Mario confronts Grubba in the arena, discovering that he is using the real Gold Star to charge a [[power-draining machine|machine]] hidden under the stage in order to drain fighters of their vitality, and use it to keep himself forever young and strong. Grubba uses the power stored within the machine to greatly enhance his abilities, becoming [[Macho Grubba]], the true boss of the chapter. Mario defeats Macho Grubba and claims the Gold Star. Prince Mush reappears, revealing that he was imprisoned by Grubba after learning of his secret. It is revealed that Jolene is Prince Mush's sister, as well as the mysterious "X", who went undercover as Grubba's assistant to solve the mystery of Prince Mush's disappearance.
* The Sealed Wall - The remains of fallen athletes are rumored to be stored behind a sealed wall in a minor-league locker room. The wall is actually a large [[yellow block]] breakable with Mario's new [[Super Hammer]]. The room behind it does not contain the remains of fallen fighters, but research about the Crystal Stars in the form of a [[Dubious Paper]].
* The Man-Eating Toilet - A toilet in a major-league locker room is said to devour anyone that attempts to use it. Mario encounters this toilet while escaping from [[Rawk Hawk]]'s trap, using the "man-eating" toilet to travel to the toilet in the other major-league locker room for the Championship Match.
* The Stairs of Mystery - An unknown room in the Glitz Pit has a second floor but no stairs, and groaning voices can be heard coming from above. This room is the Glitz Pit's storage room, which has a hidden switch to reveal the stairs. The groaning voices belong to the fighters that Grubba drained.
* The Haunted Boudoir - The champion's room is rumored to be haunted. People within the room claim that they hear voices whispering from nowhere, supposedly the voices of athletes who lost to the champion. The voices are actually voices from Grubba's office, which is connected to the Champion's room by an air vent.
* The Spooky Ring-Lights - Strange lights supposedly leak from under the ring doors when nobody is inside. This light is the light of Grubba's [[power-draining machine]] and/or the [[Gold Star]]. It is implied that Bandy Andy was caught investigating this secret.
* The Missing Ones - Sometimes fighters disappear for no reason and never return, including the first champion, Prince Mush. These athletes disappeared as the result of their power being drained by Grubba's machine, and the three known vanished fighters return after Macho Grubba is defeated.
* Grubba and Jolene - The first part of this wonder is that Grubba is muscular despite being past sixty-years old. This is explained mostly by his use of the [[power-draining machine]]. Secondly, Jolene has been known to suddenly vanish. This is explained by Jolene taking up an alternate identity (e-mailing Mario under the pseudonym of "X"), who can frequently be seen in the juice bar outside the arena.


After the completion of Chapter 3, Jolene takes over from Grubba as the promoter of the Glitz Pit. Mario and his partners can optionally return to the arena and resume fighting from the minor leagues, starting over at Rank 20.

==Seven Wonders of the Glitz Pit==
|-style="background:yellow" align="center"
According to [[Bandy Andy]], the fighters within the Glitz Pit are said to pass stories of a set of mysteries that surround the arena. Throughout the chapter, all seven wonders are encountered and their true nature is discovered.

*'''The Sealed Wall''' — "''They say...there's a sealed wall in the minor-league locker room. Some say...the remains of fallen athletes are stored in there...''"
|-style="background:lightyellow" align="center"
**The wall is actually a large [[Yellow Block|yellow block]] breakable with the [[Super Hammer]]. The room it conceals does not contain the remains of fallen fighters, but research about the Crystal Stars in the form of [[Dubious Documents]]. The part about fallen athletes appears to have been conflated with the large block in the storage room.
|width="5%"|'''Rank'''
*'''The Man-Eating Toilet''' — "''They say...in one of the arena's bathrooms, a man-eating toilet lurks. Some say...the anyone who sees this toilet never sees anything again...''"
|width="10%"|'''Picture'''
**The toilet is in fact a toilet that functions as [[Warp Pipe]], connecting both major-league locker rooms. Mario uses the toilet to escape from [[Rawk Hawk]]'s trap to prevent Mario from turning up to the Championship Match.
|width="15%"|'''Name'''
*'''The Stairs of Mystery''' — "''They say...there's a room in the Glitz Pit with a second floor but no stairs... They say...no one has ever gone upstairs... And some say...that groaning voices sometimes come from that second floor...''"
|width="15%"|'''Secondary Name'''
**The stairs are concealed in the Glitz Pit's storage room, activated with a hidden switch. The groaning voices belong to the fighters that Grubba drained and imprisoned under a large block on the upper floor of the room.
|width="25%"|'''Members'''
*'''The Haunted Boudoir''' — "''They say...that the champion's room is haunted... Some say...if you keep still in the room, you'll hear voices whispering from nowhere... Some even say...the voices are athletes who lost to the champion...''"
|width="30%"|'''<span class=explain title="Unless otherwise noted, the events described below is what happens after Mario reaches the rank. They happen in reverse order listed here. Note that other fighters' rank sometimes shuffle.">Storyline</span>'''
**The voice are actually the sound of voices coming from the promoter's office, with sound travelling through air vents connecting both rooms.
*'''The Spooky Ring-Lights''' — ''"My friend's friend's friend told me this one... He said...he saw a strange light  leaking under the ring doors when no one was there. He couldn't see inside since the doors were locked. I plan to investigate this myself...''"
**The strange light is in fact generated from Grubba's [[power-draining machine]] on the arena stage. It is implied that Grubba catches Bandy Andy investigating this secret, and so drains his power and imprisons him alongside the other victims.
*'''The Missing Ones''' — "''They say...sometimes fighters disappear for no reason, never to return... Some say...that the very first champion,  Prince Mush, was spirited away in this way...''"
**The missing fighters disappeared after Grubba drained their power using his machine, and are imprisoned under a large hammer block in the storage room. The known missing fighters are [[Prince Mush]], [[Bandy Andy]], and [[King K]], and all three recover after Macho Grubba is defeated.
*'''Grubba and Jolene''' — "''Grubba is a strange one... His body is incredibly toned, even though he's past 60. He must have an exceptional training regimen. Then there's the matter of Ms. Jolene. They say...she suddenly vanishes at times. Some say...a fighter saw her go into a bathroom and waited for her to come out. But she never did. Huh? You think it's stranger that someone staked out her bathroom? Good point.''"
**Grubba is revealed to be using his [[power-draining machine]] to drain others of their vitality, and using it to enhance his own. Jolene's unexplained absences are revealed to be her taking on the pseudonym of "X", who contacts Mario via email from the [[Fresh Juice Shop]].
 
==Ranked Match==
Mario is required to compete in Ranked Matches throughout the course of Chapter 3. As ''The Great Gonzales'', Mario begins in the minor-league at Rank 20. Upon reaching Rank 10, Mario will join the major league, receiving a 30 coin bonus and gaining access to the major-league locker room. Upon defeating Rawk Hawk, Mario will become the champion, receive a 100 coin bonus, and gain access to the champion's room.
 
All matches can be initiated from a computer terminal in either locker room, or in the champion's room. Mario will face each opponent in a fixed order, based on the opponent's own ranking within the Glitz Pit. Mario will also be imposed a [[#Battle conditions|condition]] that must be fulfilled in order to rank up. If Mario fails to meet the battle condition, he will not rank up and he will continue to face the same opponent in until meeting the condition and winning the match. If Mario loses the match, he will go down a rank in the Nintendo GameCube version of the game, but in the Nintendo Switch version Mario will remain at his current rank with no change.
 
Winning a Ranked Match will award [[coin]]s, starting at 5 coins for the first ranked opponent defeated, and increasing by 1 coin for each subsequent opponent defeated. If Mario fails to meet the imposed battle condition, he will be paid a flat fee of 4 coins in the minor league, and 10 coins in the major league. If Mario loses or flees the battle, he will only receive 1 coin.

|Before the battle, Rawk Hawk tricks a [[Glitz Pit Security|security guard]] into locking Mario in a damp room. Mario and his partners make an escape through the toilet. Grubba orders Mario to use a Special Move at least once, but it is actually unnecessary for the storyline to progress. After Mario defeats Rawk Hawk, he receives the [[Champ's Belt]]. In the champ's room, Mario and his partners hear a voice in the air vent, and are told via [[List of e-mails in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door#Anonymous: No title 11|e-mail]] to find it. In the air vent, they hear Grubba saying that he is going to eliminate Jolene and Gonzales (Mario). In Grubba's office, they find a paper about how the Gold Star powers a machine that sucks the power out of people, and that Grubba is running the arena in order to find strong people to drain like [[King K]] and [[Bandy Andy]]. When Grubba drops in, they confront him, and defeats him at the arena. Finally, Jolene comes and thanks Mario for defeating Grubba. She reveals that she has been instructing Mario via email under the name of X, and that she has become the helper of Grubba just to approach him and find out about her missing brother. In the meanwhile, her brother, [[Prince Mush]], is released from the machine and reunites with Jolene. Jolene gratefully allows Mario to take the Crystal Star, marking a happy ending of Chapter 3.

In the Nintendo GameCube version, these teams can only be challenged during Chapter 3 by losing matches and ranking down low enough to be matched with them. In the Nintendo Switch version, they can only be faced in an Exhibition Match, as it is not possible for Mario to lose rank.

===Battle conditions===
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 against [[The Goomba Bros.]], the order will always be to [[appeal]] to the crowd at least once.<ref>{{cite|author=Malleoz et al.|date=March 2, 2014|url=tasvideos.org/4148S.html|title=Submission #4148: Malleoz, CoolKirby & Masterjun's GC Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door in 4:52:30.72|publisher=TASVideos|accessdate=August 9, 2016}}</ref>
*For the match against the [[Iron Cleft]]s, the condition will never disallow FP or partner attacks, as [[Gulp]], the only move that can damage them, would violate either condition. In the remake, the condition is further restricted to only ever be "Use a partner skill at least once," which guarantees that the condition is fulfilled when using Gulp.
*For the championship match against [[Rawk Hawk]] in the Nintendo GameCube version, Mario will always be instructed to use a special move, though it is not actually required to be performed and only serves to de-rank Mario if it is not and he loses.<ref>{{cite|author=Wong, Mark|date=February 18, 2009|url=speeddemosarchive.com/PaperMarioTTYD.html|title=Speed Demos Archive - Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door|publisher=Speed Demos Archive|accessdate=August 12, 2016}}</ref> In the Nintendo Switch version, Mario will instead be told that there is no condition.
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."


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, or a red cross if it is failed.

==Exhibition Match==
===Before Battle===
The [[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Nintendo Switch)|Nintendo Switch remake]] introduces Exhibition Matches, which can be partaken at any point after Mario has joined the Glitz Pit. Mario can face previous opponents any time after beating them, while a selection of special opponents can also be challenged once certain prerequisites are met. Exhibition Matches do not have any battle conditions nor have any affect on Mario's rank, but will still award prize money like Ranked Matches do, albeit only half as much.

==Notes==
==Trivia==
*If the player chooses to return to the Glitz Pit after completing Chapter 3 and makes it to 1st place, during the Championship Match, the crowd chants "GONZALES! GONZALES!". One spectator will say "JUMPMAN!!! Wait, who?". This is a reference to Mario's alternate name for the classic arcade game ''[[Donkey Kong (game)|Donkey Kong]]''. Should the player also win the championship, there will be a crowd that goes after the champion once in the foyer.

*The Mario posters that are seen in the foyer do not reappear should Flurrie blow them out.
