Globnar, described as gladiatorial time combat, is a contest used in the future for accused people to find justice and win a Time Wish.
The games
A person can invoke Globnar and specify who they want to combat in the games. The battle commences in the Globnar arena. The challenger and chosen combatant then fight in a series of games in a point based system. In the final game, not only do the competitors have to gain the most points, they also must get the time wish globe.
The winner of Globnar is granted a time wish by Time Baby; wherein they can wish for anything without the threat of a time paradox. The winner also determines the fate of the loser, including death.

History
In "Blendin's Game", time convict Blendin Blandin escapes from the Infinetentiary. While running away he stumbles on a barrel, and right before Lolph and Dundgren sentence him to court, he invokes Globnar against Dipper and Mabel Pines from the 21st century. When Dipper and Mabel are about to commence the competition, Dipper steals Lolph's measuring-tape machine and travels back to Soos' early childhood to discover why he hates celebrating his birthday, which is due to his father never visiting for his birthdays, even when promised.
Dipper, Mabel and Blendin then compete in Globnar, and in a slight victory, the Pines twins win. They decide their wish is for Soos to have seen his father on his birthdays. However, Soos appears and decides instead to fix up Dipper and Mabel and for an infinitely-regenerating slice of pizza, claiming his father was a "jerk" and for them to be his real family. The fate for Blendin decided by the twins is for him to be part of the time anomaly removal squadron again and to have a head of "pretty" hair.
