{{quote|Whoa... Is this... Am I back in the Glitz Pit?|Prince Mush|Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door}}
'''Prince Mush''' is the first champion of the [[Glitz Pit]]. He is mentioned by several characters throughout [[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door#Chapter 3: Of Glitz and Glory|Chapter 3]] of ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'' and appears at the end of it. Prince Mush was captured and had his power drained by [[Grubba]]'s [[power-draining machine]] after he found out that Grubba was using a [[Gold Star|Crystal Star]] to drain fighters' powers. As such, Mush was missing for an extended amount of time. Afterward, his older sister [[Jolene]] went undercover in the Glitz Pit to look for him, and after accidentally seeing Grubba power up by using his machine, she carefully guided [[Mario]] to defeat Grubba. After Grubba's defeat, Grubba claimed to have sucked the life out of Mush with his machine to benefit himself, saddening Jolene before Mush suddenly appears out of the Gold Star. Now united with his sister Jolene, they rejoice.

Later in Mario's adventure, he receives an [[Mailbox SP#Jolene: Doing well?|e-mail]] from Jolene saying that Prince Mush is planning on making a comeback. However, he can never be fought in the game. Mush is also the answer to a [[66th Annual Quirk Quiz|question]] of the [[X-Naut Fortress]] [[Thwomp]], who asks the name of the very first champion of [[Glitzville]]. Unlike other languages which give him a real name that differs from his stage name, Prince Mush's real name is simply Mush in the English version.

In the [[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Nintendo Switch)|Nintendo Switch remake]], Prince Mush is available as a postgame boss, as the internal files of the game show that he has an entry in the [[Tattle Log]]. Once defeated, he gives Mario [[Prince Mush's Belt|his belt]] as a token of appreciation, and can be refought at any point. During the battle, he repeatedly switches fighting styles, indicated by his stance.
