“This is Bob-omb village, DA-BLOOIE! There is nothing here, DA-BLAMMO!”

—Nob,Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door

Fahr Outpost is an icy village thatMario and his partners can access fromPath to Fahr Outpost in the gamePaper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. It is home to manyBob-ombs, includingGeneral White. Fahr Outpost is located in an icy region far away fromRogueport. The outpost consists of several buildings and houses, all of which look like bunkers. The area resembles theFar North region ofRussia, with the indigenous Bob-ombs displaying Russian-inspired accent and headwear. There are stone walls around the outpost, most of which are cracked and have barbed wire over them. The Bob-ombs here dislike foreigners, particularly non-Bob-ombs. InPaper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, it isAdmiral Bobbery's presence in Mario's party that helps build trust between Mario and the Bob-ombs.

Mario and his allies must getGoldbob'spermission to useBig Bob here to get to themoon. There is a small statue of a cannon at the end of the outpost, but the real cannon is in a massive underground chamber. The first building in the area is always locked. It is the cannon's control center.

"Fahr" is word play onFahrenheit, in reference to the area's cold climate, and "far", in reference to the location's distance from Rogueport. "Fahr Outpost" could also be a play on the phrase "far out," a term that describes something as being extreme or radical.

  • In the Switch version, "a part" is changed to "part".
• "This is part of Fahr Outpost. There's a shop and an inn here, so that's something... They have a huge, cannonlike monument over there, too. Very Bob-ombish!"

Notes[edit]

• Unlike other locations in the game, Mario does not have to place the previous Crystal Star (theGarnet Star) at The Thousand-Year Door to visit Fahr Outpost, but he cannot progress onwards to the moon until then.
• Most of the characterizations of the Bob-ombs in the village, the environment, and their use of a secret weapon and wanting to closely guard it from enemy usage, are similar to the Cold War, specifically Soviet Russia. In the Official Nintendo Power Player's Guide forThe Thousand-Year Door, the commentary stated "Considering most of the Bob-ombs speak with Russian accents, those of you who grew up in the '60s may feel a bit nervous when you see the enormous weapon rise from a silo. Resist the urge to hide under a desk and tuck your head between your legs.",^[1] referring to a standard method during the early Cold War of trying to evade a nuclear attack, called duck and cover, as well as the events of theCuban Missile Crisis.
  • On a similar note, the Bob-ombs at Fahr Outpost incorporate "Da" into their explosion tics in speech, referring to a common reply in Russian. The English version of theSwitch remake omits the "Da" from their dialogue, possibly in light ofRussia's invasion of Ukraine at the time of the game's release.
