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 the Fahr Outpost under a huge underground 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 locates them, Mario speaks to the Fahr Outpost mayor once more and the big bomb cannon is activated. Loaded with tons and tons of Bob-ombs, Mario hops inside and is shot to the Moon, his final destination before The Thousand-Year Door.
