Big Bob (originally known as the big bomb cannon) is a cannon that appears in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. It is located in Fahr Outpost under a huge underground chamber. The name "Big Bob" is a wordplay on "Bob-omb," as the cannon is loaded with a large number of Bob-ombs and fired with a powerful explosion, as well as "Big Bertha," a famous large artillery model. When Mario goes to Fahr Outpost in hopes of finding a way to the moon, he is informed that he must seek out Goldbob to gain permission to use the cannon and General White to have him operate it if he wishes to use the cannon. After he locates them, Mario speaks to the Fahr Outpost mayor once more, and Big Bob is activated.
