The '''X-Naut Fortress''' is [[Sir Grodus]]' main base of operations which is located on the [[moon]] and the home to the [[X-Nauts (organization)|X-Nauts]] in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''. [[Princess Peach]] is also taken to here. The last [[Crystal Stars|Crystal Star]], the [[Crystal Star]], is held there and [[Mario]] and his friends have to use [[Big Bob]] in [[Fahr Outpost]] to reach this place and fight [[Lord Crump]] (while controlling [[Magnus von Grapple 2.0]]) to get the star. Grodus travels between the [[earth]] and his fortress using a [[teleporter (Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door)|teleporter]], which has one end located in his laboratories and the other end located in [[Rogueport Underground]]. The base is also the home of [[TEC-XX]], which is the main computer of the whole fortress. Also, after Mario gets the sixth Crystal Star, Grodus takes Princess Peach and leaves the fortress (possibly giving it to Lord Crump) so he can go to the [[Palace of Shadow]]. After Mario successfully destroys Magnus von Grapple 2.0, he gets the seventh Crystal Star. After that, the fortress explodes and Mario is unable to go back until the [[Shadow Queen|final boss]] is defeated.

The fortress is essentially a five-story building built deep under the moon. It is all connected by a series of hallways and two elevators. The deeper Mario or Peach go, the dimmer the lighting is.

When the player [[Spring Jump]]s into the air duct from the [[Yux]] lab on sublevel 2 and uses [[Paper Mode]] to slip thought the vent on the far right, they land in a changing stall where Peach used to put on the X-Naut suit. If they pull the curtain back, Mario and his partners become 8-bit. This lasts until they leave the room.

===Crane game items===
After leaving and re-entering the X-Naut Fortress at least once in the Nintendo Switch remake, new items appear in the crane room on Sublevel One if the player had already collected every item beforehand. There are four batches of different items to collect. To make the next batch appear, it is necessary to collect every item on the current batch, leave the X-Naut Fortress, and return to it.

X-Naut Fortress
Mario and Goombella inside the X-Naut Fortress, just past the entrance.
First appearance Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (2004)
Latest appearance Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Nintendo Switch) (2024)
Greater location The Moon
Ruler Grodus
Inhabitants X-Nauts, X-Naut PhDs, Elite X-Nauts, Z-Yux

The X-Naut Fortress is Grodus' main base of operations which is located on the moon and the home to the X-Nauts in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. Princess Peach is also taken to here. The last Crystal Star, the Crystal Star, is held there and Mario and his friends have to use Big Bob in Fahr Outpost to reach this place and fight Lord Crump (while controlling Magnus von Grapple 2.0) to get the star. Grodus travels between the earth and his fortress using a teleporter, which has one end located in his laboratories and the other end located in Rogueport Underground. The base is also the home of TEC-XX, which is the main computer of the whole fortress. Also, after Mario gets the sixth Crystal Star, Grodus takes Princess Peach and leaves the fortress (possibly giving it to Lord Crump) so he can go to the Palace of Shadow. After Mario successfully destroys Magnus von Grapple 2.0, he gets the seventh Crystal Star. After that, the fortress explodes and Mario is unable to go back until the final boss is defeated.

The fortress is essentially a five-story building built deep under the moon. It is all connected by a series of hallways and two elevators. The deeper Mario or Peach go, the dimmer the lighting is.

When the player Spring Jumps into the air duct from the Yux lab on sublevel 2 and uses Paper Mode to slip thought the vent on the far right, they land in a changing stall where Peach used to put on the X-Naut suit. If they pull the curtain back, Mario and his partners become 8-bit. This lasts until they leave the room.

Enemies[edit]

After the chapter is cleared, no enemies appear in the X-Naut Fortress.

Area Tattles[edit]

  • "Who knew there'd be such a weird building on the moon... It's kind of crazy, actually. I mean, it's got a big glass dome to keep all of the air from leaking out...What's that? Yeah, now that you mention it, I guess we were OK out there with no air to breathe...................................Yeah, I'd rather not think about that too much, I guess. Let's change the subject." (GCN)
    • "Who knew there'd be such a weird building on the moon... It's almost unbelievable, actually. At least it's got a big glass dome to keep all of the air from leaking out...What's that? Yeah, now that you mention it, I guess we were OK out there with no air to breathe. ... Yeah, I'd rather not think about that too much, I guess. Let's change the subject." (Switch)
  • "This is the X-Naut Fortress. This seems to be the only way in or out. The stars look really nice through these windows, but I guess now's not the time..." (GCN)
    • "This is the X-Naut Fortress. This seems to be a way to get in and out. The stars are really pretty out here...or what you can see of them through these fortress windows, anyway." (Switch)
  • "This is a fortress corridor. An elevator connects it to the lower floors. I guess this fortress extends pretty far beneath the surface of the moon, huh? I mean, I hate Grodus, but I gotta give him some props for a pretty cool evil hideout."
  • "This room looks like it was meant to store something... It's booby-trapped, I think. Not to totally change the subject or anything, but how's your memory, Mario? If you have trouble recalling the full path, you oughta leave and reenter."
  • "This looks like a storage room for valuables. The crane can grab stuff up there. It should work if you set a gear in place and press those switches in order... I'm sure you can handle it. It's not exactly moon-rocket science here."
  • "What's this room for, huh? I feel like I've seen that face somewhere before... Hmmm... Oh well, forget about it, I guess."
  • "This room looks like it was meant to store something... It's booby-trapped, I think. If you wander off the correct path, it looks like you'll take damage, don'tcha think? Rooms like this ALWAYS have a hint, though. It's like, a law. See anything like that?"
  • "This is Grodus's lab. He must have his researchers work on various potions here. I don't think we should touch any of this stuff, though... One wrong move and... KABOOOOOOOM! ...Know what I mean?"
  • "This looks like some kinda teleporter. Who knows where that thing would send us! Maybe that's what the X-Nauts used to go between the moon and the earth. I think we have to switch it on (GCN) / press the button (Switch) and then stand on the platform to use it."
  • "This looks like a lab for genetic experimentation...maybe Yux were made here. I guess they must have some pretty advanced technology if they can do stuff like that. Hey, by the way, Mario... You see up there? One of those ceiling panels is loose. Don't you have some super move or something that can get us up there?"
  • "This is a changing room. I guess even X-Nauts have to change out of their uniforms... But what do you think they look like under those suits? I'm...not gonna think about it. There's a ventilation duct in the ceiling at one end... That's not good for privacy!"
  • "This place is a bit overdone, huh? It just screams, 'Hey! I'm an evil mastermind!' I wonder if poor Princess Peach got dragged in here before?"
  • "What's this room for, huh? Is it some kind of office for the X-Naut boss or what? Maybe we should give it a once-over to make sure we don't miss anything. Boy, and what's with these tanks full of Nibbles? Jeepers, that creeps me out."
  • "This room looks like it was meant to store something... It's booby trapped, I think. If you stay on the tiles that were lit up, I think you'll be OK, Mario. Er... But you should totally go first, one way or the other..."

Trivia[edit]

Screenshot of an Elite X-Naut peeking from behind the shower in the Sublevel 4 bathroom in X-Naut Fortress, in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door.
Elite X-Naut peeking from the shower in bathroom.
  • A single Elite X-Naut hides in the shower room on sublevel 4 while the fortress is active. While this is an Easter egg in the original, it is required in the remake, as this is where the new fourth Security Key is hidden.
  • During Princess Peach's Interlude after Chapter 5, TEC asks Peach to drink an invisibility potion in order to secretly enter Grodus's room and upload important data on a disk into the room's computer. When this happens, the computer screen shows the Famicom Disk System boot-up sequence.[1]
  • In the Japanese version, the "safe path" in X-Naut Fortress's third puzzle room is only two squares long as opposed to three squares long in the international versions.
  • The password required to progress further into the area, 014029, can be alternately read as 『おいしー　おにく』 Oishī Oniku in Japanese, which means "delicious meat". The password was changed to "excuse" in the French version for unknown reasons.
