For those without comedic tastes, the so-called "experts" at MarioWiki have a real article on Glitz Pit. |
The Glitz Pit is an arena that exclusively hosts gory heart wrenching, punch of head, freeze and break to tiny pieces, rip of head, blow up head, slice into tiny pieces, head eating, squishing, and burning alive death matches. It's located in Alaska which is why it's totally legal. Mario fought in the Glitz Pit in Cardboard Mario: The Clogged Warp Pipe, but he killed every fighter, and then killed its owner. The whole thing went bankrupt and empty a few hours later. It is now haunted by elephant ghosts.
The champion was Rawk the Hawk. He was very powerful, but somehow, that Italian plumber managed to rip his head apart and kick his ass. However, Rawk the Hawk returned when Mario was ruling the world after Chapter 9.
