− | Professor E. Gadd was a paranormal researcher and inventor who spend decades catching ghosts, until his old age finally caught up to him. He first met [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] in ''[[Luigi's Mansion]]'', where he helped Luigi to save Mario by lending him his old ghost-catching equipment, including the spectral vacuum [[Poltergust 3000]], a communications/map/storing device called the [[Game Boy Horror]], and use of his Ghost Portrificationizer, which could turn ghosts into portraits and vice-versa.

In the 3DS remake, a future version of E. Gadd also made contact and sent a gooey doppleganger of Luigi he had created named [[Gooigi]], so that his present self and Luigi could test it out for him. When Luigi finally saved Mario at the end of the game, E. Gadd took the money he had collected and bought Luigi a real mansion of his own. |
The Mario Brothers had another encounter with him in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]''. E. Gadd left his ghost-catching behind him and decided to start up a chain of coffee shops known as [[Starbeans]], using his self-designed bean mixer for bold new flavors. Customers who mixed new flavors were given special accessories in return for their services, as well as previews of his new inventions, like the Poltergust 3001 and a Boo's Sheet. Within the ''Minion Quest'' mode of the game's remake, he also appeared in a cave that he fell into while pursuing ghosts and could be found by [[Bowser]]'s minions. He talked about his research and his work on a time travel device, in reference to ''Partners in Time''. E. Gadd also appeared in ''[[Mario Party 6]]'', as the host of a few events on his own personal board, E. Gadd's Garage, and in ''[[Mario Party Advance]]'', having invented various collectibles called Gaddgets. | The Mario Brothers had another encounter with him in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]''.

E. Gadd later traveled to [[Evershade Valley]], where an object called the [[Dark Moon]] made all of the local ghosts friendly. Fascinated by this, Gadd decided to conduct research in the area and built his new laboratory in a building known as the Gloomy Manor. The various friendly ghosts acted as his assistants, and he also had several [[Toad (species)|Toad]] assistants as well. Things went well until the events of ''[[Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon]]'', when King Boo shattered the Dark Moon. This caused the ghosts to suddenly turn hostile. E. Gadd was forced to flee from his lab and took shelter in a nearby bunker. He quickly contacted Luigi and used his new invention, the [[Pixelator]], to teleport Luigi to his bunker, particle by particle. E. Gadd sent him to the Gloomy Manor to retrieve the newest model of the Poltergust, the Poltergust 5000, and he then guided him in a series of missions that took Luigi across the various areas of Evershade Valley. | E.

− | Luigi ended up gaining a shard of the Dark Moon in each area, which was corrupted by evil energy. Gadd had a machine that was able to clean each Dark Moon piece, which revealed more areas of Evershade Valley. Eventually, Luigi was sent to the Treacherous Mansion to search for the final piece of the Dark Moon. It was then that they discovered King Boo's hand in the scheme and that he had captured Mario again. With further guidance from Gadd, Luigi was able to seek out King Boo and defeated him again. Afterwards, they reunited the Dark Moon, and the ghosts' friendly natures were restored. They were then freed from E. Gadd's ghost container, and Gadd joined everyone else in the celebrations that ensued | + | Luigi ended up gaining a shard of the Dark Moon in each area, which was corrupted by evil energy.
