'''Dry Dry Outpost''' is a small town at the east end of [[Dry Dry Desert (Paper Mario)|Dry Dry Desert]] in ''[[Paper Mario]]''. [[Little Mouser]]s and [[Dryite]]s live in the town. [[Moustafa]] is the leader here. [[Mario]] and his partners come to this town in Chapter 2. After some information gathering (specifically, buying a [[Dried Shroom]] and a [[Dusty Hammer]] in order in the shop), they are allowed to see the town leader, Moustafa, and receives the [[Pulse Stone]] from him. The Pulse Stone then allows them to proceed further in Dry Dry Desert.

There is a [[Little Mouser's Shop|shop]] and a [[Toad House]] in the outpost. [[Merlee]] also lives here and can, for a fee, cast a spell on Mario which will occasionally give him several advantages in battles. Later in the game, Mario can optionally go back here to complete several sidequests such as [[List of letters in Paper Mario#Normal Letters|letter delivery]], [[Koopa Koot's favors]], and [[Master Poet]]'s favor. There is a shortcut warp pipe in the [[Toad Town Tunnels]], which provides a faster way to go to Dry Dry Outpost. The in-game map description reads, "''It's a small desert town that has many inhabitants for its size. You'll find a Toad House and a shop here.''"

In ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', [[Lumpy (character)|Lumpy]] mentioned that he visited Dry Dry Outpost during his quest to strike oil. Mario can learn about Lumpy's visit by listening to "Part 3: A Helping Hand", the third tale in his adventure.
