Template:Quote2 Glitzville is a Chinese-style city built on an artificial floating island. It is the setting of Chapter 3 in the game Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door and its Nintendo Switch remake. The city has a Hot Dog Stand and souvenir shop on its left and a juice bar on the right, but the main attraction is the Glitz Pit in the middle. Glitzville is popular and gets visitors from all around the world, according to Goombella's Tattle. There is also a pay phone in the left of the foreground. It also has a Hot Dog cut-out next to the Hot Dog Stand.
