10 Nintendo stars from different games are swept away to a secret
location. For four weeks they partake in mental and physical tests,
trying to
collect up to a $1,000,000 raise in their salary. But there is a catch:
one
of the contestants is actually a saboteur, a programming glitch, trying
to
keep the rest of the group from succeeding.
Here's how it works: The ten players are taken to a secret location
in a
foreign land, where an amazing adventure begins. Cut off from friends
and
family, the group is given specific tests to complete. If successful,
the
group collects a bigger pay raise. However, one member is "The Glitch,"
put
there to prevent the group's success.
Every few days each player must take The Glitch Quiz: a quiz
containing
25 questions about The Glitch, questions like: "Is The Glitch a man or
a
woman?" "Where is The Glitch's homeworld?" "What type of organism is
The
Glitch?" "How many games has The Glitch starred in?" "Who is The
Glitch's
main enemy?"
The player who gets the most questions wrong (knows the least about The
Glitch) must leave the game...immediately. Players are eliminated, one
by
one, until three people are left: The Glitch and two players. With one
last
quiz, another contestant is eliminated, the Glitch is revealed, and the
winner takes home all of the money.
The group must work as a team to complete mental and physical
tasks, all
the while trying to figure out who is The Glitch. Guess wrong and they
are
sent home. Figure it out and they might last to the end. So get ready
for the
game of the century.
Get ready for The Glitch.
Below are profiles of the ten players on the show for you to look

(most are somewhat amusing, so take a look!) Tune in next time for the
beginning of The Glitch: Episode One. New episodes will be released
frequently, so be sure to check back often so that you don't miss a
show!
Player profiles:
Mario Mario
Homeworld : Mushroom Kingdom
Occupation: Plumber
Most loved thing: Princess Toadstool
Most hated thing: Bowser Koopa
Thing he likes the most about being selected: "I don't-a have to save
the
princess if Bowser captures her…Luigi will just have to try instead."
Thing he will miss the most: "I will-a miss pasta…it is a very good-a
thing,
you know…"
Comments on the player field: "It's-a good thing that Luigi didn't get
picked
for this-a show. One Mario brother is enough-a. That Link guy is
bugging me
with his-a games…he's already had two for the 64 platform, and I only
got-a
one."
Comments when asked if he is The Glitch: "That's-a stupid. Nintendo
wouldn't
make its-a biggest the star the bad-a guy."
Link
Homeworld: Hyrule
Most loved thing: Princess Zelda
Most hated thing: Ganon
Thing he likes the most about being selected: "Well, Navi wasn't
allowed to
come along…which is a really good thing, because that little ball of
light
with wings bugs the heck out of me."
Thing he will miss the most: "Gosh, going a month without Epona will be
tough…I'll have to walk around everywhere on foot…"
Comments on the player field: "Nintendo did a really good job covering
players from all arenas of games. Not quite sure why they included Ash
Ketchum in the game, considering that he doesn't even do anything, his
Pokemon always battle for him."
Comments when asked if he is The Glitch: "My goodness, this game would
be
easier to figure out if they had put some BAD guys in it. And no, I'm
not
The Glitch, so stop asking me that question."
Kirby
Homeworld: I'm not sure…
Most loved thing: Food
Most hated thing: Bad tasting food
Thing he likes the most about being selected: "They've promised me a
lot of
edible items will be available in the game. I REALLY like edible
items."
Thing he will miss the most: "Hmmm…absolutely nothing."
Comments on the player field: "I seem to be the only round player
(unless
Mario counts). I just hope that Ash Ketchum guy doesn't mistake me for
that
Jigglypuff that I fought in Super Smash Brothers. Sheesh, what an
idiotic
creature...all it could do was punch."
Comments when asked if he is The Glitch: "Heck, I can suck things from
across
the room and eat them in less then five seconds. It would be kind of
easy
for me to sabatoge the challenges if I was The Glitch, don't you
think?"
Mega Man
Homeworld: Earth (I think)
Most loved thing: Rush
Most hated thing: Dr. Wily
Thing he likes the most about being selected: "Well, I could really use
that
pay raise. I mean, ever since 64 came out Nintendo kind of forgot that
my
series existed…I'm starring in some game in a couple months, but
that'll
probably be overshadowed by the success of Paper Mario."
Thing he will miss the most: "…"
Comments on the player field: "It'll be interesting with Samus Aran, a
fellow
robotic type-person, playing at the same time. Perhaps she and I can
use
that fact to better ourselves."
Comments when asked if he is The Glitch: "If I am, then I'm
disappointed. I
really wanted that pay raise…"
Samus Aran
Homeworld: Planet Zebes
Most loved thing: Killing bad guys
Most hated thing: The Mother Brain
Thing she likes the most about being selected: "Who knows, maybe fame
gained
on the show will boost Nintendo's chances of putting me on GameCube?
Hey, it
could happen…"
Thing she will miss the most: "Having to think really hard for long
periods
without causing something to die. That will definitely be hard, since
that's
all that I've been doing since Super Metroid II."
Comments on the player field: "Well…first of all, I'm the only girl
on the
show. I'm not sure why, but I am. Secondly…yeah, just that I'm the
only
girl on the show. And the fact that Mega Man, an android, is on the
show as
well…very interesting."
Comments when asked if she is The Glitch: "Heck, I'm a galactic bounty
hunter. I've fought against thousands of huge lizards and monsters and
such.
I think I could definitely be The Glitch, if I am, that is."
Ash Ketchum
Homeworld: Pokemon Earth
Most loved thing: Pikachu.
Most hated thing: Team Rocket
Thing he likes most about being selected: "I can brag to Brock about
getting
to meet Samus Aran. Also, I'd like to advertise the new Johto Journeys
products, including Pokemon Gold and Silver. You know, my salary is so
huge
that I don't even need to win here, I'm just here for fun."
Thing he will miss the most: "All of my lovable Pokemon…who are so
loyal and
friendly, cuddly and cute…and they also make me a lot of money, too!
Also,
if you didn't know yet…I have a secret crush on Misty…"
Comments on the player field: "Gosh, I wish that they had put Gary on
this
show so that I could beat him down. Also, I wish that they had put
those
stupid Digimon kids on here so that I could bash their heads in as
well…those
little freaks over at Fox think that they're all cool…"
Comments when asked if he is The Glitch: "Nope."
Banjo
Homeworld: I don't know…
Most loved thing: Kazooie
Most hated thing: Gruntilda the Witch
Thing he likes most about being selected: "Well, I just finished
Banjo-Tooie,
which was a big money bringer. I don't know…I just wish that Mumbo
Jumbo
could come along to tell me who The Glitch is…"
Thing he will miss the most: "Kazooie…and also, Kazooie…thirdly, I
will miss
Kazooie…"
Comments on the player field: "Maybe me and Donkey Kong can strike a
deal…you
know, I'm a bear, and he's a gorilla. I'm sure that we could work
something
out if he will co-operate. Besides that, I don't know. But you've
gotta
work as a team when you're playing on The Glitch."
Comments when asked if he is The Glitch: "Only Kazooie knows…and
Kazooie is
in a secret bunker in Russia. Oops, was I supposed to tell you that?
I
guess not…sorry Kazooie…I can't ever keep a secret."
Donkey Kong
Homeworld: Kong Country
Most loved thing: Candy Kong
Most hated thing: King K. Rool
Thing he likes most about being selected: "It's just plain cool. I
mean,
getting to meet all of my favorite Nintendo co-workers…that's just
cool…I'm
definitely gonna get Mario's autograph before I leave, get executed,
all that
junk…"
Things he will miss the most: "Funky just made one awesome new
jetski…but I
didn't get to ride it before I was brought to the filming site for the
filming of the show…"
Comments on the player field: "It's looking good…looking very good.
I wish
that Diddy could have come along and played with me…that would've
been a
really big help…"
Comments when asked if he is The Glitch: "Are you kidding? I may be a
gorilla who fights big alligators for stealing my hoards of bananas,
but I'm
not an idiot. If I am The Glitch, then I'm not going to tell you…if
I'm not,
well, then I'm still not going to tell you."
Bomberman
Homeworld: Somewhere with bombs, I guess…
Most loved thing: Bombs
Most hated thing: Anything that is cute or cuddly
vThing he likes most about being selected: "Maybe this show will help me
get
some recognition in the realm of Nintendo heroes and stars. It could
even
get me my own series, something like the Legend of Zelda would be
nice."
Thing he will miss the most: "Bombs. Explosives. The smell of smoke
and
ashes…these are a few of my favorite things…"
Comments on the player field: "Just that all of the other players are
name-brand stars…and I'm not. Kind of gives me a bad feeling, like
I'm gonna
be one of the first ones to go. But I'm not. I'll stick it out."
Comments when asked if he is The Glitch: "No, I'm not. I'd be too
obvious,
considering that I'm the least acknowledged as a huge Nintendo star.
Heck,
my Game Boy game didn't even have my name on it! Instead, that dumb
Wario
got the title, and I was in the subtitle. Sheesh."
Fox McCloud
Homeworld: Lylat System
Most loved thing: Arwing
Most hated thing: Andross
Thing he likes most about being selected: "This sure as heck beats
flying
missions for that dumb general on StarFox 64. For some reason that
idiot
couldn't think to send his own stinking troops to fight Andross. I'm
really
happy to be selected as a contestant. Besides, after I made it onto
Super
Smash Brothers, Falco has been locking on to me with a few too many
missiles
in our latest practice runs…"
Thing he will miss the most: "Throwing bombs into Andross' mouth and
then
watching him cough on them…it's fun EVERY SINGLE TIME!!!"
Comments on the player field: "Well, I love a wide variety. I mean,
heck, a
plumber is the star of Nintendo! Who would have thought, huh? Only
some
Japanese maniac with mad programming skills, that's who. Kirby? How
did he
become a hero? When I saw him in Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards, I
couldn't
quite make out how he was so great. 'Oh look, I can suck things and
get
special powers!' Looked like something from Digimon to me."
Comments when asked if he is The Glitch: "I'm not The Glitch, but I
know who
is! TOAD IS THE GLITCH! Oh wait, he's the host! DANG IT!"
