{{item infobox
The '''Giant Cannon''' is a device that appears in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''. It was created in part by the elusive [[General White]] himself. It is located in the [[Fahr Outpost]] under a huge undergroud chamber, and is made fully operational. When [[Mario]] goes there in hopes of finding a way to the [[Moon]], he is informed that he must seek out [[Goldbob]] and General White if he wished to use the cannon. After he finally tracks them down, Mario speaks to the [[Fahr Outpost Mayor]] once more and the Giant Cannon is activated. It is, by far, the biggest cannon ever to be seen in a Mario game. Loaded with tons and tons of [[Bob-ombs]], Mario hops inside and is shot to the Moon, his final destination.

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. A hatch underneath Mario and his partner opens to load them into the barrel, and then numerous Bob-ombs are loaded into a chamber. After Mario is shot towards the moon, all of the Bob-ombs parachute back down.
