**Transcript**

**Castle Crawl** is the is the sixth episode of the first season of *Glitch Techs*, was premiered on Netflix on February 21, 2020.

## Synopsis

Miko and High Five arrive at a house where other Glitch Techs have gone missing — and walk right into a familiar game full of surprises.

## Plot

After Nix and Bergy and two other teams go AFK on a glitch capture, Five and Miko are sent in to resolve the Mapper Glitch, which overlays a game setting atop real environments, finding the interior to be a massive castle from "Castlestein." Once inside, Miko and Five are locked in the game and shut down their gauntlet to save batteries. Seeking the game boss, Nogrog, they encounter a mini-boss, who Five struggles to fight as Miko spectates. He admits to never finishing the game, having lied out of feeling left out. Miko surmised this, and pulls him out to continue, saying she doesn't think less of him. Reaching Nogrog, they learn his pattern to win, but realize the still active game is unbeaten, thus there's an unseen component. Remembering his riddle, Five uses a random drop key he found earlier to access the next step, and they reach the "unreachable" Loot Drop from a mystery chest: a spork. At the true final round, Five realizes the statue behind Nogrog is his weak point, and the spork becomes a magic super sword, which allows them to co-op a win, catch the Mapper Glitch, and free the other Glitch Techs.

Glitch Techs Drawing Tutorials

This page contains the known drawing guidelines for characters in *Glitch Techs* (currently, exclusively High Five and Miko Kubota). Some of them are created for artists on the show's creative team to instruct them on how to draw characters properly, what are and are not considered "off model" and thus incorrect.

These, along with new unofficial references, were released by creator Eric Robles to assist fanartists in accurately portraying the characters.

Ally is a large bird resembling an ostrich that has red and yellow feathers all over her body. Her beak and legs are cerulean. Ally has two toes on each of her feet with visible talons. She has two large red wings and the tips of her wings are burgundy. Ally's face is covered with yellow feathers and the top of her head has three head feathers. Ally has three tail feathers with one tail feather being brighter than the others.

* Normal

* Jet Skin

* Fire Form

## Powers and Abilities

**High Speed**: She is agile and can run fast.

**Teleportation**: Can turn glitch energy to teleport in a short-range. This ability can't be used if an organic it retains or mounts her, but can teleport no life matter with her like the game controllers Miko uses to tie her in **Going, Going, Gauntlet!**.

**Flight:**  She can fly carrying a person

**Power Absorption**: Can use the power of anything she eats being glitches or technological devices like Miko's gauntlet.

**Power absorbed**:

* Fireballs (from a glitch).
* Energy blasts (from Miko's gauntlet).

* Can enter this form from a berry (might be from her game).
* This form enhanced her normal abilities and increases her health points.
* She can throw fireballs in this form.

## Trivia

* For Miko, Ally is a beloved friend, but she also says she doesn't want to think too hard about whether or not as a glitch she counts as being alive or not.
* When Ally seems to be broken, Five asks why Miko doesn't just get a new one (using the logic that no one would know), Miko states that *she* would know that it wouldn't be the *real* Ally.
* Ally is most likely based off the ostriches from the Williams arcade game Joust, or Banjo's bird sidekick Kazooie from the Nintendo 64 game Banjo-Kazooie. Ally might also be based off Chocobos from the Final Fantasy franchise. Her ability of eating glitches bears some similarities to Yoshi's abilities in the Super Mario franchise.
* Ally's name may be a pun on the word *ally*, in video games meaning a helpful NPC.

**Quotes**

* Work Uniform
* GT Uniform
* Younger

**Phil Altiere** is the manager of the Hinobi store in Bailley and director of Glitch Techs' Bailley branch.

## Biography

Phil, as the boss, dispatches the Glitch Techs to take care of Glitches and to clean up the messes they cause. This role is shared with BITT, who helps with directing Glitch Techs around, arranging for backup, and dispatching specialized powerups. He is also a veteran Glitch Tech himself, and while he rarely joins in the hunt himself, he is capable and skilled in his own right.

It's revealed in "BITT Prime" that, when he was younger, Phil was mindwiped by someone from Hinobi to hide something he discovered in the development labs. Knowing it was coming, he prepared a message to himself with the relevant data, and covertly programmed BITT to be able to lead him back to it. It just took longer than expected to happen.

## Personality

Phil tends to be rather deadpan and stone-faced and very no-nonsense, but he does have a soft side. He is firm, but reasonable. He is also good at hiding problems from the higher-ups until they're resolved.

According to BITT, he’s really into buddy cop shows.

Episode 2 also showed that he tended to take a lot of shortcuts when running the store.

## Relationship

### Barbara

They show to go along well for being former companions in their youth. Even so, Phil shows to be a little nervous in the inspections of Barbara.

### Joan Fishback

He shows that he doesn't like to deal with her, as he was initially blatantly dismissive and tried to ignore her call. They show to have a rivalry and are very bad terms, for a misunderstanding for the Glitch Kodama. Even after Phil demonstrated he was telling the truth, she still proceeded to catch the Glitch Kodama.

### Ridley

He initially firmly opposed to her joining, but agreed after she repaired and upgraded BITT so that he was able to make donuts. She then caused an outbreak of glitches in the Hinobi tech headquarters, which resulted in Phil being forced to regretfully fire her.

### **BITT**

BITT is Phil's bot partner who also helps run the Hinobi tech store and headquarters. They have been partners for over 20 years. Within BITT's files there are great secrets about Hinobi corporate that they both have been investigating.

### Kodama

Kodama is Phil's Glitch pet, which was promptly taken away by Joan Fishback, as he seemed to have taken him from Dabney "territory" and lied about it.

## Powers Abilities and Equipment

Bubble shield: a sphere shaped shield that can contain him and few more people, it's more durable and resistant then the normal shield as it is able to resist for a long time against an outbreak of glitches

## Trivia

To catch whatever bugs get loose from your gaming consle

But you won't see any of our glitchy energy

* Luckily after striking a new deal with Netflix, Nickelodeon decided to rely on them to release Glitch Techs. This is good because unlike cable television, Glitch Techs now has a more worldwide audience on a streaming service like Netflix.

**Alpha Leader** is the seventh episode of the first season of *Glitch Techs*, was premiered on Netflix on February 21, 2020.

## Synopsis

What makes a good leader? High Five finds out the hard way when he steps up to head a team against four glitches that are on the loose.

## Plot

Five & Miko, going by "Dream Team," aid Mitch's Raid Squad to derez a Glitch swarm, but Mitch gets an infection from the boss Glitch and is quarantined. Elsewhere, four MMO Avatar Glitches manifest in an abandoned amusement park, so Five is made Dream Team's Raid Leader with Haneesh and Zahra as add-ons. However, Mitch convinces Five's to "act like a leader", making Five replicate Mitch's toxic Leadership style, and dismissing Haneesh and Zahra's advice. After Miko destroys a Control Point Rod, their victory is short lived when all four MMO Glitches retaliate, forcing Dream Team to retreat. Once Five derezzed one of the Glitches, he learns they can respawn via a command ship, which Haneesh tried warning about all mission. Five realizes his team's capture is his fault, and with Ally's help to free Dream Team, Five makes amends so they can strategize to destroy the Respawn Ship. While Five fights the MMO Glitches, Dream Team use one of Haneesh's hacks to mod the control rods and destroy the respawn ship. With the glitches defeated, Dream Team commends Five for his leadership and being himself; Haneesh and Zahra decide to rotate leadership on missions to better their command skills.

**Joystick Jr. Pizza Arcade** is a pizzeria and arcade located in Bailley. It is a popular place to visit for locals and a frequent site of Glitches.

### Games

* *Allora*
* *Graham's Maze*
* *Hyunjoo*
* *Smashozaurs*
* *Sock-Em Rockers*

### Attractions

* Pizza restaurant
	+ Ralphie Bear birthday show
		- Cakey Von Smasher
		- Ralphie Bear
* Ball pit

### Employees

* Jimmy Alcorn (owner)
* Adam Michael Nix

## History

Joystick Jr. Pizza Arcade was presumably founded by its current owner, Jimmy Alcorn, 15 years before the series begins. Because the technology used for its games all originates from Hinobi, it is a frequent origin site for Glitches; for this reason, Jimmy is uniquely aware of Glitches and does not have his memory wiped.

TBA

By present day, Joystick Jr. is considered the largest arcade in Bailley.

## Trivia

* Joystick Jr. is based on the pizza restaurant and arcade chain Chuck E. Cheese.
	+ Chuck E. Cheese also inspired the popular video game series *Five Nights at Freddy's*, which itself is the inspiration for the episode "Ralphie Bear Is Back" and the Cakey Von Smasher Glitch.
	+ Chuck E. Cheese was founded by Nolan Bushnell, a co-founder of Atari, after which the local pet store Nolan's Ark is named.
* Jimmy Alcorn, the establishment's owner, is named after Allan Alcorn, the creator of *Pong*, the first video game (and inspiration for *Ping*).
	+ Ironically, *Ping* was instead created by Emilio Nieves.
* Nix's Scorekeeper/arcade uniform shirt is inspired by Walter Day, founder of the Twin Galaxies organization that keeps track of world records pertaining to video games.
	+ It is unknown if the shirt is actually part of his uniform, as it does not resemble Jimmy's, or if he chooses to wear it on the job.
* The three games Nix says Ryu Simms has the top scores in are all named after series directors:
	+ *Hyunjoo* is named after Hyunjoo Song.
	+ *Graham's Maze* is named after Chris Graham (who directed this episode specifically).
	+ *Allora* is named after Phil Allora.
* One arcade cabinet features a tropical island on its top, a mounted machine gun on its panel, and grenades on its lower front. This may be based on the Sega arcade game *Let's Go Jungle!: Lost on the Island of Spice*, a game set on a tropical island using mounted machine guns.

Castlestein

***Castlestein*** is a video game series that first appeared in "Castle Crawl".

## History

TBA

Bergy tried to scan a copy of *Castlestein*, but the scanner device wouldn't work when he did. When he pointed the scanner at his face, it went off and blinded him, causing him to drop the game.

## Description

*Castlestein* is a game playable on Hinobi home consoles.

## Characters

* Count Nogrog (main antagonist and final boss)
* Skele-Tomes
* Iron Knights
* Blade Demon of Truth

## Trivia

* This game is a parody/expy of the *Castlevania* video game franchise.
	+ Count Nogrog and his monster form are based on *Castlevania's* primary antagonist, Dracula. His design is also based on Demitri Maximoff and Morrigan Aensland, vampires from Capcom's *Darkstalkers* video game series.
* The game is rated C, presumably for "Classic Jane".
	+ The rating logo is a "C" inside a box, with "CLASSIC" on top and "JANE" at the bottom. Real world video games released in Canada and the United States are rated by the ESRB, with ratings being displayed as a similar design: the word on top corresponds to the letter logo in the center (such as "E for Everyone", "M for Mature", etc.), while the bottom of the box reads "content rated by the ESRB". Thus, it is unclear if the full C rating is meant to be "*for* Classic Jane", or "C for Classic, rated by JANE".

## Synopsis

Miko suspects that something is very, very wrong when Mitch suddenly starts acting nice. At a bizarre party, High Five sees that she might be right.

## Plot

Mitch Squad and Dream Team arrive to a Copycat Glitch, but Mitch orders everyone to wait outside as he solo wins; Five points out that Mitch used to be a good gamer on his channel, postulating that being a Glitch Tech changed him for the worse. Back at HQ, a straggler Copycat stowed away in Mitch's coat takes him and pretends to be a better version of him to slowly replace other Glitch Techs with "BUDS"; Miko notes this behavior and warns Five, to no avail. At a party "Mitch" organized, Miko follows Glitch-Mitch and discovers the true nature of the Glitch it really is, only to be replaced herself. Five slowly discovers that everyone was replaced with Copycat plant Glitches, and narrowly escapes. Finding the main Glitch, he frees Miko but is caught by the Glitch and Glitch-Mitch tries to offering Five to join, but he refuses as Miko backs him up. To even the odds, they free the other Techs to group raid the BUDS Glitch, and real Mitch informs them to aim for the original Copycat and Five leads the derez. Afterward, Mitch thanks Five and Miko, but also takes everyone's XP, which his copycat gave away while impersonating him.
