Fahr Outpost is an icy town that Mario and his partners can access through the Rogueport Sewers in the game Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. It is home to many Bob-ombs, including General White. Fahr Outpost is located in an icy region far away from Rogueport. The outpost consists of several buildings and houses, all of which look like bunkers. The area has a very North Russian appearance, and the Bob-ombs speak with Russian accents as well as wearing Russian-inspired headwear. There are stone walls around the outpost, most of which are cracked and have barbed wire over them. The Bob-ombs here are isolationists and dislike the presence of foreigners, particularly non-Bob-ombs. In Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, it is Admiral Bobbery's presence in Mario's party that helps build trust between Mario and the Bob-ombs.

Mario and his allies must get Goldbob's permission to use the Giant Cannon here to get to The Moon. 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 on Fahrenheit, in reference to the area's cold climate, and far, to reflect the world around Fahr Outpost as being very far away from the area of Rogueport. "Fahr Outpost" could also be a play on the phrase "far out," a term that describes something as being extreme or radical.

Area Tattles

 * This slowly falling snow is totally beautiful, but it's super-SUPER-cold out here! If I lived here long enough, I'd probably turn into an abominable Goomba!
 * Say, Mario, did you know... Walking in the snow leaves really cool footprints! Thing is, the snow's falling so hard, they totally disappear pretty quickly.
 * Hey, Mario, check it out! I can totally see my breath! Must be really cold, huh? That is just SO awesome! I grew up in a warm place, so this is totally new to me!
 * This is a part of Fahr Outpost. It's a village full of Bob-ombs. How do they survive out in this cold anyway? Don't their fuses freeze off? You'd think these people would be bitter, living here... But they all look just fine!
 * 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!

Trivia

 * Being the only known "true" Bob-omb village (as opposed to Koopa Village), it is possible that Bob-ombs are native to the region Fahr Outpost is located in.
 * Unlike other locations in the game, Mario does not have to place the previous Crystal Star (the Garnet Star) at The Thousand-Year Door to visit Fahr Outpost, but he cannot progress onwards to The Moon until then.
