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 the [[big bomb cannon|cannon]] 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 Sewers]]. 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.

Grodus travels between the Mushroom Kingdom and his fortress using a [[Teleporter (Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door)|Teleportation Machine]], which has one end located in his laboratories and the other end located in [[Rogueport Sewers]].

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. The in-game map description reads, ''"The fortress of the dubious X-Nauts. Their leader, Grodus, lives here."''

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.

*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.
