I personally think he is more of a chaotic neutral like kirby is in the fact that he doesn't care who he gives his inventions to as long as he gets results in studies of what said invention can do and the common him making a threat and a solution is one of the best ways to test things like such aka he is just a kooky scientist
Honestly, yeah. Gadd strikes me largely as... well, in his field, utterly brilliant. Outside of it, there is a very real risk he could be outwitted by a brick. Besides, he's an old timer whose brain is constantly buzzing with all sorts of ideas. Sure, he's a kook, but he's a mostly harmless one. If an invention of his turns out too dangerous, he'll come up with a counter. Otherwise? Oh dear, the Mushroom Kingdom gets a plumber that doesn't need a lunch break.
@@cosmicspacething3474 @Spark937 For kirby he doesn't do thing because he's forced to, he does it because he wanted to help the residents of planet popstar. For example, he didn't just defeat Dyna Blade because he got hit with an apple and was angry about it, he defeated Dyna Blade because she was eating all of the citizens crops, and afterwards he raised Dyna Blades chicks. He didn't have to but he did it because he wanted to right his wrongs after realizing Dyna Blade did it to feed her kids. He was even willing to forgive King Dedede and Meta Knight and he became friends with him. He went from not caring about Dedede's well being in Kirby 64 to at first going on his journey in Triple Deluxe because he was worried about him. Kirby has befriended his past villains on several occasions. Also I know what you're thinking, but what about Squeak Squad. For that I have a few explanations. Kirby never acts like he did outside of that game, Hal and Flagship just had to adjust his personality in order for the story to work.
I want to add onto this the portrait ghosts were freed by king boo some of the portrait ghosts even view the portrait as a prison but e gadd still feels it necessary to suck them in a vacuum and then put them in a painting when most of them weren’t hostile only 4 attack you on seeing you One being king boo The one who is friends with the ones that you Sucked into your vacuum 2 being a guard dogProtecting against an obvious intruder three boolosses Who got sucked up by E gadd with the vacuum that’s on your back and three bogmeyer I don’t know about that but just like humans there can be evil ghosts but most of them leave you alone and why are you Sucking up all of these ghosts because e gadd told us to who’s the bad guy here
From Dark Moon, he tells this to Luigi later in the game "Look Luigi, If you, uh...don't ever come back, just know that I'm very proud of you, boy. Very proud. *sniff*" So we at least know that he cares about Luigi, even if he did put his life at risk at times (e.g. putting him through a teleporter that was untested.) Luigi's Mansion 3 spoilers below So in LM3, he was clearly not behind the whole thing as he was captured in a painting just like Mario, Peach and the Toads were, and finding his painting before setting him free is how we first encounter him. He mentions that he fell for the same trick with being invited to the hotel as the Mario Bros. and their friends were, and Helen Gravely was the one who set King Boo and all the other ghosts free.Interestingly, he mentions that she freed all the ghosts that Luigi captured in the past, but King Boo is the only one who shows up in the game which makes me wonder if we'll see the others appear in a future Luigi's Mansion game. While Professor E. Gadd doesn't appear to be evil in this game, he does act pretty selfish. After Luigi rescues him and said they needed to stay so that he could save the others, E. Gadd gets a bit annoyed thinking that just leaving would be a better option, but he still cares enough about Luigi to help him. Later in the game, he sends Luigi out on an escort mission because he had sent the red Toad out to give him the upgrade to the Poltergust G-00 only for him to get re-captured, and when he's talking about what happened, he's only worried about his invention rather than the fact that the red Toad's life is in danger. He also charges Luigi for extra lives and equipment that helps him find hidden Boos and gems (though he at least gives him the first extra life and two Boo trackers for free) saying that money is just as important as rescuing. With all that said, while he is shown to be selfish and greedy; he still helped Luigi save everyone else despite the fact that he didn't want to so it shows he isn't truly evil.
You're completely wrong on everything Luigi's Mansion 1. King Boo sent the invite, that's not up for debate, that is fact. The reason E. Gadd had all these ghosts when he can't even fend off a basic one was explained in-game. E Gadd caught the portrait ghosts in his youth,not as a weak old man. So King Boo freed the portrait ghosts that E.Gadd had been catching for years. The 50 Boos were not trapped, they were hiding. Just like how they hide after you free them.
AG Pink Panda yeah. This is another one of those theories that a huge majority of people seem to believe, but that’s easily debunked if you pay attention to what’s said in the games. Nice breakdown of evidence.
But wait. You have to press 2 buttons to open the cage to king boo. One is to expand the room. Now if u have to expand the room that means there must be a wall covering the boos. Which means the couldn't have sent him the invite when they're stuck underground. Bowsers not in the game. Unless mario sent him the invite so he can save him or it IS Elvin Gad.
Egad did not live in the mansion According to him, the mansion materialized a few days before Mario and Luigi even went there. I did a full playthrough of this twitch on halloween and remember this vividly.
Not trying to spoil but in LM3, at the beginning when you run from king boo (shown in the trailer) but get caught, Luigi goes in the painting and so does E. Gadd, which fricks up the theories
I don’t know if it’s just me, but Gooigi and the paint substance, seen in sunshine, seem so similar. For instance, they melt and weaken when they touch water. I could be wrong though.
I'm pretty sure E. Gadd is simply a prime example of an Absent-Minded Professor. He simply does work regarding whatever caught his interest that week and does things while simply forgetting to consider the potential consequences of his actions. Basically, not evil, merely clueless.
I don't think he's evil. He's more lawful neutral/chaotic good in my eyes. He won't necessarily help villains, but is so dedicated to scientific progression that he's not above creating something that could cause trouble, whether he's aware of it or not.
I don’t think he’s evil, just an old scientist who makes mistakes. I feel a lot of the things he did that would be seen as “evil” was just him making mistakes. Other things I feel people look at in a “worst possible scenario” kinda way. But that’s just my two cents, I love your videos! Keep up the great work!
Not evil, just a little carried away with being generous with who uses his inventions. He's also really old so he tends to forget things. I do think the gem on King Boo's head could have been stolen by King Boo himself upon seeing the professor creating these gadgets.
Yoshi gaming like he just said he’s an overly generous old man who likes to see his inventions be used. He sees bowser jr as a young boy he doesn’t know he’s evil
"why is e. gadd in luigis mansion?" do you not understand the plot? The mansion appeared behind his lab, luigi doesnt have ownership nor would e. gadd know luigi was invited as he did not send the letter
Luigi’s mansion 3 is just an improve version of Mario hotel After you beat Mario hotel, everyone abandoned it for many years until E. Gadd found it in ruins with a small population of ghosts roaming it So wait E. Gadd decided to do is hire the mansion owner and improve the mansion so it doesn’t look similar in many ways Then E. Gadd released all of the ghosts for Luigi to suck them up so he could study how to improve the poltergeist for Luigi and his next adventure
The thing about the whole "E. Gadd intentionally gave bowser Jr the paintbrush" the thing is, its never stated WHEN he god the shadow disquise, so for all we know, he could have worn the mask trying to cause havok with the mask. Then E gadd gave it to him as defense after the king boo situation. But soon later finds out that the person he gave the brush to was bowser junior, then he dropped off fludd for mario. But who know i could just be crazy.
I find it really strange that E Gadd was so money hungry in Luigi's mansion 3 when at the end of the first game he told Luigi that he could keep all the treasure that was found in the mansion because E Gadd claimed and I quote "I have no interest in such stuff, so go ahead keep it all use it however you like" yet back to the third game he wanted money in exchange for some of his help.
Crazy conspiracy theory for you: The talking portraits in the second room you ever entire in luigi's mansion 1 after you collect the poltergust, yeah those portraits. Those portraits are probably a family, the family that had a grudge against the boo race because of how powerful the boos are, the proof of their power difference is how hard it is to capture a boo than to capture a ghost in a room in luigi's mansion. Plus, in the first game, the boos were trapped under a cellar behind a wall with no door but a switch outside of your limited view. That is why the ghosts in the games are different from the boos. They are a different species, and the family in the portraits, is the original family of that species. That hotel manager in the 3rd game, most probably a descendant of the family, a continuous grudge against king boo because of his power. And because king boo has found the crown with the jewel of power, king boo was STRONGER than ever, but the family was not going to let that happen. So they trapped him under a walled off cellar in a mansion that disappears out of nowhere and is full of ghosts that hate the boos but can't stand a chance against one. The ghosts can't see eachother when they go invisible, and the boos are always invisible and they are quite powerful, so the family trapped king boo before he grew too powerful, the family snatched the crown away from king boo before he did but the family was already surrounded by boos so they set up a trap in the cellar for king boo and his boos, the cellar was filled with a white fog that can nullify king book's power once he wears the crown, and they could not go through the cellar or the walls, they were trapped, the family couldn't take the crown for their own because the crown's power was too much that it could corrupt their soul so much that the soul itself would break from the power. But the boos, being a superior species, were capable of taking over the crown but only a specific boo could take over the crown, not the king boo from other mario games, another boo with a power of being above other boos because of their united strength on that one boo because of his leadership. The proof that this is a different boo, is because in mario kart tour, there is king boo normally, and king boo from the luigi's mansion games, they are both different boos, one is the true king and one is the power corrupted king. A war that still rages on with the corrupted king and the family blood line. E.Gadd is the mad scientist who just stumbled upon the ghosts, or so we think, and just took a liking to the ghosts, especially his curiosity of how the ghosts are what they are and what they are capable of. E.Gadd has been turning the tables of the war back and forth time and time again. Just for his curiosity of the ghosts power and capabilities. Luigi is just his way of being able to experiment with the ghosts in a situation that E.Gadd can't perform alone, and to make the ghosts think that what is happening is really happening and that nothing is a science experiment. But the E.Gadd has fooled everyone just to get his hands on that sweet knowledge. The proof of that is because in the second game, breaking the dark moon is a risk that could result in E.Gadd's life. It was an experiment that he really wanted an answer to, so he hired luigi for his experiments that he couldn't succeed in himself. Please make a theory about this.
Do you think it may have been the ghosts who sent the invitation to Luigi? They probably wanted his help to catch the boos and to stop E.Gadd from experimenting on them. Eventually they all get trapped into posters, but only one of them likes it.
i found something maybe e egaga did not releas king boo in Luigi's mansion 3 cause i leaned from a specific text the owner release king boo and also if e glad haves the crown in what resin is he in a panting so the owner gave king boo his crown back
When E. Gadd decided he was done with Thwomp Volcano, he explicity stated that he was going to Boo Woods. His statement about how he was getting to old for ghost-catching could imply that he has been catching ghosts in order to study them. Aside from that, the rest of the video is pretty solid.
It makes sense with the portrait ghosts. He must have caught them when he was younger which is why he was now struggling with a basic ghost. Also king boo is the one that sent the invite and they were not trapped in the cellar it was where they were hiding
I have a feeling that the moment that E Gadd trapped Luigi in the cage in Luigi’s mansion 3 was foreshadowing something that might come up in the future Besides, I think the whole reason that King Boo has beef with him and Luigi is because, well, E Gadd literally barged into an abandoned mansion and started sucking up innocent ghosts who were probably just try to live their afterlife in peace
First, E. Gadd was in that area of Luigi's Mansion and said that the Mansion appeared a few days ago and I would go exploring in a creepy mansion that just appeared a few days ago. The portrait ghosts are his that got out of their portraits.
4:04 gadd didn't GIVE Mario fludd, Mario FOUND fludd all on his own so he aided the villain (no fucking WAY he didn't know who bowser Jr was considering he looks EXACTLY like his dad) and was nowhere to be found when the hero needed help thats one example of him being a bad guy
Do you so notice how paint from Paper Mario's world works the same way as goop! It's obvious paint brings the paper to life so the goop brought what was a simple book to life!
He's not really evil, but science comes first, and good comes second. An example would be selling King Boo in a garage sale, likely to help pay for his research.
I love your intro! it is amazing!!! I think that E Gadd gave Bowser Jr the paint brush because he didn't know that he would ruin Island Dalphino, And when he found out about what he did with the paint brush he made F.L.U.D.D to fix the mistake he made. P.S. Your big brained.
Considering that E-gadd said that the mansion gets more ghosts every day, that implies that he's been there before. So maybe he just found some paranormal frequency. Also, I think the reason King Boo wasn't doing anything about it was either he didn't know or he was hiding, waiting for Luigi. Because he said Luigi's *FINALLY* here, like he was waiting for him to come.
But how did he get in the painting himself at the beginning of the game. Also didn’t king boo then put him in a painting at the end of the game? Please try your best to answer this comment
This used to be a solid theory until Luigi’s mansion 3 when we see that e gadd was tricked and we see king boo is clearly evil and the ghosts are hostile without use of the dark moon
That's exactly what he is. The proof is there giving bowser jr the paintbrush was a mistake. Giving mario the fludd was his way to resolve it. He give a Luigi everything he needs to capture the ghosts. he had caught them in his youth but was now too old for it they were released by the boos
LM3 basically debunks this theory entirely, SPOILERS E Gadd is captured by King Boo at the very beginning of the game, Luigi's frees him later on Before the King Boo boss fight he captures him again After king boo is defeated and the hotel gets destroyed he helps the ghosts rebuilt the hotel to be some sort of ghost hotel/ghost research building He just wants to study ghosts thats all
What I find strange is that they recently added King Boo to Mario Kart Tour but there's the normal one that we normally see and then as the rare character, they have a King Boo labeled (Luigi's Mansion) on it. It's almost as if they're treating these two King Boos as separate entities, and it makes sense since Mario Sunshine also had a version of King Boo (although it just looked brain dead)
What if egad created the dark moon to have more helpers to assist his research why do you think he cared about repairing the dark moon and roped Luigi into helping him fix the dark moon.
OMG I just finished watching this and I got a notification on a Discord server from someone called Professor Elvin Gadd! I am not kidding! He is onto me!
For the luigis mansion section of the video, egadd said that the mansion appeared a few days ago for him, I doubt he sent Luigi the letter. King boo definitely did. I think egadd saw MARIO go in since he says a man in a red cap went to the mansion without even stopping by. He probably went in to find MARIO and was ambushed by ghosts.
I don't think he is evil. In the end of Luigi's Mansion 3, Prof. E Gadd has been placed in a huge painting with Mario, Peach, and three Toads. The one who did this was King Boo.
Here’s my theory on sunshine: E-Gadd finds bowser JR. as an associate, a test partner per say. So gained trust with JR. leads E-Gadd to allowing JR. to test his new contraption. (The brush) he notices that the intent of JR. is not what he first imagined. He remembers back to the incident from luigis mansion 1 where the ghost had overpowered him. He thinks to himself: “if a ghost could beat me... then bowser JR. could too...” he thinks of a plan, when he notices princess peaches jet. He presumes that mario is there and leaves Fludd to help Mario. He the flees so that bowser junior wouldn’t know about him giving fludd to Mario, knowing he would be furious
10:07 while you were talking about gooigi E gadd says "that you have to capture all of the ghosts again even king boo! He's my favorite." That is suspicious don't you think?
You missed something, in luigis mansion dark moon (or others I haven’t played the others) he says Luigi I am your dad but in yoshis island we see that Mario and Luigi were adopted by yoshi. A little bit strange if you ask me
what if the mario movie would become a egadd reveal where he unleashes all his robots and ghosts as a twist villian and mario and luigi has to stop them
I know this is a little late, but here’s a slightly different but more interesting theory: what if the crystal on King Boo’s head is alive and is the one holding the grudge, and what if it’s using its powers to force E. Gadd to do all this so it can get back to the powerful King Boo and have its vengeance against the brothers! We don’t know much about the crystal, so it could be something more dangerous than people think.
The Mansion in the beta was supposedly E. Gadd's but in the final game he said the mansion appeared a few days ago. "The spirits have fooled you." Is what he tells Luigi when he heard Luigi's story on the mansion he supposedly won. What IS shady is him capturing innocent ghosts and putting them in paintings, that's kind of messed up. But he was also in the wrong in Dark Moon for unresponsibly selling the King Boo painting in a Garage sale, inevitably and unintentionally causing King Boo's escape from the painting.
Your theory about E. Gadd putting the jewel on King Boo’s head to control him every time is disproven since in Dark Moon it is stated and even SHOWN in a cutscene that King Boo broke the Dark Moon apart and wears one piece of it on his crown
idk why all these theories are suddenly in my recommended, but honestly, I agree full heartedly. Especially in LM3 where he has to beg Gooigi to walk towards him with a water puddle in front of him. *And he laughs when Gooigi dies because yknow, he’s WEAK TO WATER*
Elvin Gadd is clearly not a villian but a scientist, he does crazy things for research like giving the paintbrush to Bowser Jr, Sending Peach back in time or even creating a new timeline to test Gooigi.
What about Splatoon,the said that ther is a pefeser that credit them,can Splatoon and Mario world the same,I have been looking at octo expansion at the last level,and there's a telephone at the story mode besides the house, please make a video about this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱
Judy Smith it is not confirmed to be linked with the Mario universe. Also, General Tartar is an AI made from a different professor, since it doesn’t have E. Gadd’s emblem.
I have a theory on how Luigi got the mansion what if it was like luigis mansion three were they get an invite to the hotel what if that’s all king boo does to get luigi
I do think it's strange how the boos are stuck there but King boo did send the note. He confirms it at the end in the 1000 line talk. However he doesnt care one bit about luigis friends which is strange. I thought luigis mansion 3 would surely have him go berserk. Hes not crazy there but he captured luigi and forced him to use his invention to escape. Is he testing luigi to see if he can beat him?
We know from some videos that that pink ghost invited gadd telling him that she has got a ghost collegsion than traps him in a painting freeing all the ghosts in luigis mansion 3
The 50 Boos and the King Boo weren't trapped the were hiding. And E. Gadd captured the other ghost when he was young. Also, in Luigi's Mansion 2 (Dark Moon), E. Gadd wouldn't free King Boo because he wants to study the ghosts while they are nice. As for the gem in King Boo's Crown, is a different one from Luigi's Mansion's and more powerful, what we can easily realise because that one was red and this new one is purple. In Luigi's Mansion 3, E. Gadd was trapped in a portrait as well. It was Hellen Gravely who freed King Boo this time. As for the story of him selling King Boo's painting, I totally believe him, He probably just wanted money so he can move to Ever Shade Valley and study ghosts.
I personally think he is more of a chaotic neutral like kirby is in the fact that he doesn't care who he gives his inventions to as long as he gets results in studies of what said invention can do and the common him making a threat and a solution is one of the best ways to test things like such aka he is just a kooky scientist

Kirby isn't a chaotic neutral though.
I think he’s a lawful neutral,
@@cosmicspacething3474 @Spark937
For kirby he doesn't do thing because he's forced to, he does it because he wanted to help the residents of planet popstar. For example, he didn't just defeat Dyna Blade because he got hit with an apple and was angry about it, he defeated Dyna Blade because she was eating all of the citizens crops, and afterwards he raised Dyna Blades chicks.

7:46 why was he Naruto running
THE RED MONKEY7 lol
Because the animators were to lazy to animate his arms.
More like Naruto walk
He was training his naruto running skills for area 51
SappyMe he was probably attending the Area 51 event 😂
E. Gadd never claimed to have caught all 50 Boos, he only caught Boolosus and the portraits were all captured when he was younger
I want to add onto this the portrait ghosts were freed by king boo some of the portrait ghosts even view the portrait as a prison but e gadd still feels it necessary to suck them in a vacuum and then put them in a painting when most of them weren’t hostile only 4 attack you on seeing you One being king boo The one who is friends with the ones that you Sucked into your vacuum 2 being a guard dogProtecting against an obvious intruder three boolosses Who got sucked up by E gadd with the vacuum that’s on your back and three bogmeyer I don’t know about that but just like humans there can be evil ghosts but most of them leave you alone and why are you Sucking up all of these ghosts because e gadd told us to who’s the bad guy here
Exactly!!!!!!
The Most obvious reason: He doesn’t care about “Friends” Shown in Luigi’s Mansion 3 as E Gadd just wants to get the F**k Out
No he wants to get out because he thought that luigi came to save him and not come on vacation
Same like my teammates
He does care about friends.
He also keeps telling Luigi to COLLECT LOTS OF MONEY
True dude
From Dark Moon, he tells this to Luigi later in the game
"Look Luigi, If you, uh...don't ever come back, just know that I'm very proud of you, boy. Very proud. *sniff*"
So we at least know that he cares about Luigi, even if he did put his life at risk at times (e.g. putting him through a teleporter that was untested.)
Luigi's Mansion 3 spoilers below
So in LM3, he was clearly not behind the whole thing as he was captured in a painting just like Mario, Peach and the Toads were, and finding his painting before setting him free is how we first encounter him. He mentions that he fell for the same trick with being invited to the hotel as the Mario Bros. and their friends were, and Helen Gravely was the one who set King Boo and all the other ghosts free.Interestingly, he mentions that she freed all the ghosts that Luigi captured in the past, but King Boo is the only one who shows up in the game which makes me wonder if we'll see the others appear in a future Luigi's Mansion game.
While Professor E. Gadd doesn't appear to be evil in this game, he does act pretty selfish. After Luigi rescues him and said they needed to stay so that he could save the others, E. Gadd gets a bit annoyed thinking that just leaving would be a better option, but he still cares enough about Luigi to help him. Later in the game, he sends Luigi out on an escort mission because he had sent the red Toad out to give him the upgrade to the Poltergust G-00 only for him to get re-captured, and when he's talking about what happened, he's only worried about his invention rather than the fact that the red Toad's life is in danger. He also charges Luigi for extra lives and equipment that helps him find hidden Boos and gems (though he at least gives him the first extra life and two Boo trackers for free) saying that money is just as important as rescuing. With all that said, while he is shown to be selfish and greedy; he still helped Luigi save everyone else despite the fact that he didn't want to so it shows he isn't truly evil.
Nothing more to say that’s a theory In a nutshell
What are you doing here luigi
Honestly though, if you were in the same scenario. More than likely you would leave too
And in the end of the game he is as angry as ever
You're completely wrong on everything Luigi's Mansion 1. King Boo sent the invite, that's not up for debate, that is fact. The reason E. Gadd had all these ghosts when he can't even fend off a basic one was explained in-game. E Gadd caught the portrait ghosts in his youth,not as a weak old man.
So King Boo freed the portrait ghosts that E.Gadd had been catching for years.
The 50 Boos were not trapped, they were hiding. Just like how they hide after you free them.
and LM3 should also be a debunker of this theory
AG Pink Panda yeah. This is another one of those theories that a huge majority of people seem to believe, but that’s easily debunked if you pay attention to what’s said in the games. Nice breakdown of evidence.
Did you listen to the theory?
Dagan Griffin a theory without solid evidence just doesn’t hold up.
But wait. You have to press 2 buttons to open the cage to king boo. One is to expand the room. Now if u have to expand the room that means there must be a wall covering the boos. Which means the couldn't have sent him the invite when they're stuck underground. Bowsers not in the game. Unless mario sent him the invite so he can save him or it IS Elvin Gad.

Gadd intentionally gave bowser Jr the paintbrush" the thing is, its never stated WHEN he god the shadow disquise, so for all we know, he could have worn the mask trying to cause havok with the mask. Then E gadd gave it to him as defense after the king boo situation. But soon later finds out that the person he gave the brush to was bowser junior, then he dropped off fludd for mario. But who know i could just be crazy.
I find it really strange that E Gadd was so money hungry in Luigi's mansion 3 when at the end of the first game he told Luigi that he could keep all the treasure that was found in the mansion because E Gadd claimed and I quote "I have no interest in such stuff, so go ahead keep it all use it however you like" yet back to the third game he wanted money in exchange for some of his help.
And the reward for most original Nintendo theory goes too....
Literally anyone else.
Crazy conspiracy theory for you:
The talking portraits in the second room you ever entire in luigi's mansion 1 after you collect the poltergust, yeah those portraits. Those portraits are probably a family, the family that had a grudge against the boo race because of how powerful the boos are, the proof of their power difference is how hard it is to capture a boo than to capture a ghost in a room in luigi's mansion. Plus, in the first game, the boos were trapped under a cellar behind a wall with no door but a switch outside of your limited view. That is why the ghosts in the games are different from the boos. They are a different species, and the family in the portraits, is the original family of that species. That hotel manager in the 3rd game, most probably a descendant of the family, a continuous grudge against king boo because of his power. And because king boo has found the crown with the jewel of power, king boo was STRONGER than ever, but the family was not going to let that happen. So they trapped him under a walled off cellar in a mansion that disappears out of nowhere and is full of ghosts that hate the boos but can't stand a chance against one. The ghosts can't see eachother when they go invisible, and the boos are always invisible and they are quite powerful, so the family trapped king boo before he grew too powerful, the family snatched the crown away from king boo before he did but the family was already surrounded by boos so they set up a trap in the cellar for king boo and his boos, the cellar was filled with a white fog that can nullify king book's power once he wears the crown, and they could not go through the cellar or the walls, they were trapped, the family couldn't take the crown for their own because the crown's power was too much that it could corrupt their soul so much that the soul itself would break from the power. But the boos, being a superior species, were capable of taking over the crown but only a specific boo could take over the crown, not the king boo from other mario games, another boo with a power of being above other boos because of their united strength on that one boo because of his leadership. The proof that this is a different boo, is because in mario kart tour, there is king boo normally, and king boo from the luigi's mansion games, they are both different boos, one is the true king and one is the power corrupted king. A war that still rages on with the corrupted king and the family blood line. E.Gadd is the mad scientist who just stumbled upon the ghosts, or so we think, and just took a liking to the ghosts, especially his curiosity of how the ghosts are what they are and what they are capable of. E.Gadd has been turning the tables of the war back and forth time and time again. Just for his curiosity of the ghosts power and capabilities. Luigi is just his way of being able to experiment with the ghosts in a situation that E.Gadd can't perform alone, and to make the ghosts think that what is happening is really happening and that nothing is a science experiment. But the E.Gadd has fooled everyone just to get his hands on that sweet knowledge. The proof of that is because in the second game, breaking the dark moon is a risk that could result in E.Gadd's life. It was an experiment that he really wanted an answer to, so he hired luigi for his experiments that he couldn't succeed in himself.
Please make a theory about this.
Do you think it may have been the ghosts who sent the invitation to Luigi? They probably wanted his help to catch the boos and to stop E.Gadd from experimenting on them. Eventually they all get trapped into posters, but only one of them likes it.
i found something maybe e egaga did not releas king boo in Luigi's mansion 3 cause i leaned from a specific text the owner release king boo and also if e glad haves the crown in what resin is he in a panting so the owner gave king boo his crown back
When E. Gadd decided he was done with Thwomp Volcano, he explicity stated that he was going to Boo Woods. His statement about how he was getting to old for ghost-catching could imply that he has been catching ghosts in order to study them. Aside from that, the rest of the video is pretty solid.
It makes sense with the portrait ghosts. He must have caught them when he was younger which is why he was now struggling with a basic ghost. Also king boo is the one that sent the invite and they were not trapped in the cellar it was where they were hiding
I have a feeling that the moment that E Gadd trapped Luigi in the cage in Luigi’s mansion 3 was foreshadowing something that might come up in the future
Besides, I think the whole reason that King Boo has beef with him and Luigi is because, well, E Gadd literally barged into an abandoned mansion and started sucking up innocent ghosts who were probably just try to live their afterlife in peace
First, E. Gadd was in that area of Luigi's Mansion and said that the Mansion appeared a few days ago and I would go exploring in a creepy mansion that just appeared a few days ago. The portrait ghosts are his that got out of their portraits.
4:04 gadd didn't GIVE Mario fludd, Mario FOUND fludd all on his own so he aided the villain (no fucking WAY he didn't know who bowser Jr was considering he looks EXACTLY like his dad) and was nowhere to be found when the hero needed help thats one example of him being a bad guy
I love your opening. It’s a bop.
Wait... so E Gadd's Magic Brush colors things with Goo? Do you know what other invention was made from Goo? GOOIGI!
Do you so notice how paint from Paper Mario's world works the same way as goop! It's obvious paint brings the paper to life so the goop brought what was a simple book to life!
Been waiting for this theory
In Partners in Time E Gadd said he is going to move to Boo Woods to research ghost. Boo Woods is where Liugi's Mansion is.
I think that e gadd is like good but what makes him weird is HOW DOES HE MAKES ALL OF HIS LAB
Nin10doland: Makes this video.
MatPat:
WHEEZE
He's not really evil, but science comes first, and good comes second.
An example would be selling King Boo in a garage sale, likely to help pay for his research.
Dude, Luigi stole a vacuum/engine from his car,
I love your intro! it is amazing!!!
I think that E Gadd gave Bowser Jr the paint brush because he didn't know that he would ruin Island Dalphino, And when he found out about what he did with the paint brush he made F.L.U.D.D to fix the mistake he made.
P.S. Your big brained.
E. Gadd is a good guy. Right?😵🧐🤨
Considering that E-gadd said that the mansion gets more ghosts every day, that implies that he's been there before. So maybe he just found some paranormal frequency. Also, I think the reason King Boo wasn't doing anything about it was either he didn't know or he was hiding, waiting for Luigi. Because he said Luigi's *FINALLY* here, like he was waiting for him to come.
Great video man
King boo toad Bowser bells next plan❤ destroy the dark Moon and capture Mario and his friends 1:19
bro this is literally alphys
If there were a luigi’s mansion 4 it could be cool that Prof Egadd be the bad guy this time
Maybe the jewel from king boo’s crown might be able to evolve and be it’s own powerhouse nightmare...
That's just a theory, a *GaAAAAAAAAAAAAme* theory
But how did he get in the painting himself at the beginning of the game. Also didn’t king boo then put him in a painting at the end of the game? Please try your best to answer this comment
Sorry, I’m talking about luigis mansion 3
This used to be a solid theory until Luigi’s mansion 3 when we see that e gadd was tricked and we see king boo is clearly evil and the ghosts are hostile without use of the dark moon
A wise cracking old man who makes mistakes is what i think of him because he said he was only kidding about trapping Luigi.
That's exactly what he is. The proof is there giving bowser jr the paintbrush was a mistake. Giving mario the fludd was his way to resolve it. He give a Luigi everything he needs to capture the ghosts. he had caught them in his youth but was now too old for it they were released by the boos
Sick intro
That's where the SMG4 when E. Gadd created/summoned the Beeg one.
LM3 basically debunks this theory entirely, SPOILERS
E Gadd is captured by King Boo at the very beginning of the game, Luigi's frees him later on
Before the King Boo boss fight he captures him again
After king boo is defeated and the hotel gets destroyed he helps the ghosts rebuilt the hotel to be some sort of ghost hotel/ghost research building
He just wants to study ghosts thats all
What I find strange is that they recently added King Boo to Mario Kart Tour but there's the normal one that we normally see and then as the rare character, they have a King Boo labeled (Luigi's Mansion) on it. It's almost as if they're treating these two King Boos as separate entities, and it makes sense since Mario Sunshine also had a version of King Boo (although it just looked brain dead)
Nah tuor doesnt make sens
That make Mario whit diffets chotes diffetsr charater
Now I am starting to think if E. gadd is the real enemy
Loved your intro
Never forget that E.gadd sold King Boo's soul for 62 cents.
Sorry im late but if king boo was working with e gadd why would he put im in a painting in luigis mansion 3
What if egad created the dark moon to have more helpers to assist his research why do you think he cared about repairing the dark moon and roped Luigi into helping him fix the dark moon.
I love the intro to your videos
OMG I just finished watching this and I got a notification on a Discord server from someone called Professor Elvin Gadd! I am not kidding! He is onto me!
Nintendo wants to know your location
9:42 what game is this?
coming from someone who has been a huge Luigi's Mansion fan for about 15 years... no lol
For the luigis mansion section of the video, egadd said that the mansion appeared a few days ago for him, I doubt he sent Luigi the letter. King boo definitely did. I think egadd saw MARIO go in since he says a man in a red cap went to the mansion without even stopping by. He probably went in to find MARIO and was ambushed by ghosts.
I have a great idea for a video!! U could do a try not to collect coins in lugis mansion dark moon or in lugis mansion
Can you make a timeline using all the 3d Mario games.
Can’t wait to play Luigi’s Mansion 3 tomorrow. So hyped!!!
I don't think he is evil. In the end of Luigi's Mansion 3, Prof. E Gadd has been placed in a huge painting with Mario, Peach, and three Toads. The one who did this was King Boo.
Here’s my theory on sunshine: E-Gadd finds bowser JR. as an associate, a test partner per say. So gained trust with JR. leads E-Gadd to allowing JR. to test his new contraption. (The brush) he notices that the intent of JR. is not what he first imagined. He remembers back to the incident from luigis mansion 1 where the ghost had overpowered him. He thinks to himself: “if a ghost could beat me... then bowser JR. could too...” he thinks of a plan, when he notices princess peaches jet. He presumes that mario is there and leaves Fludd to help Mario. He the flees so that bowser junior wouldn’t know about him giving fludd to Mario, knowing he would be furious
E gadd more like Evil
10:07 while you were talking about gooigi E gadd says "that you have to capture all of the ghosts again even king boo! He's my favorite." That is suspicious don't you think?
Game theory all ready did a video on this
You missed something, in luigis mansion dark moon (or others I haven’t played the others) he says Luigi I am your dad but in yoshis island we see that Mario and Luigi were adopted by yoshi. A little bit strange if you ask me
Ah finally! I’ve been waiting for this! Gg
OH YAEH BABY DA MUSIC IN DA BEGINNING
what if the mario movie would become a egadd reveal where he unleashes all his robots and ghosts as a twist villian and mario and luigi has to stop them
The ‘E’ in Professor E. Gadd’s name stands for Elvin (Aka his first name). But if you rearrange the letters and get rid of the ‘n’, it’ll spell ‘Evil’
E gadd’s favorite ghost was king boo but king boo became evil and he’s aloud at the mansion
Why is the luigis mansion 3 king boo not transparent? Every other ghost is.
ProNS_Gaming Boos are not regular ghosts. They’re more balloon like and less ghostly.
I know this is a little late, but here’s a slightly different but more interesting theory: what if the crystal on King Boo’s head is alive and is the one holding the grudge, and what if it’s using its powers to force E. Gadd to do all this so it can get back to the powerful King Boo and have its vengeance against the brothers! We don’t know much about the crystal, so it could be something more dangerous than people think.
The Mansion in the beta was supposedly E. Gadd's but in the final game he said the mansion appeared a few days ago. "The spirits have fooled you." Is what he tells Luigi when he heard Luigi's story on the mansion he supposedly won. What IS shady is him capturing innocent ghosts and putting them in paintings, that's kind of messed up. But he was also in the wrong in Dark Moon for unresponsibly selling the King Boo painting in a Garage sale, inevitably and unintentionally causing King Boo's escape from the painting.
But in Luigi's Mansion 3 E Gadd gets an invitation also.
Your theory about E. Gadd putting the jewel on King Boo’s head to control him every time is disproven since in Dark Moon it is stated and even SHOWN in a cutscene that King Boo broke the Dark Moon apart and wears one piece of it on his crown
I’m saying this now King Boo is actually a good guy and people use and control him for evil intentions
idk why all these theories are suddenly in my recommended, but honestly, I agree full heartedly. Especially in LM3 where he has to beg Gooigi to walk towards him with a water puddle in front of him.
*And he laughs when Gooigi dies because yknow, he’s WEAK TO WATER*
Didn’t game theory do this some years ago? The videos called Mario bro’s betrayed.
Elvin Gadd is clearly not a villian but a scientist, he does crazy things for research like giving the paintbrush to Bowser Jr, Sending Peach back in time or even creating a new timeline to test Gooigi.
What about Splatoon,the said that ther is a pefeser that credit them,can Splatoon and Mario world the same,I have been looking at octo expansion at the last level,and there's a telephone at the story mode besides the house, please make a video about this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱
Judy Smith it is not confirmed to be linked with the Mario universe. Also, General Tartar is an AI made from a different professor, since it doesn’t have E. Gadd’s emblem.
Ly and you're theories cause they are the best!!💖💖
Game theory made this theory first so...YEP
I have a theory on how Luigi got the mansion what if it was like luigis mansion three were they get an invite to the hotel what if that’s all king boo does to get luigi
It does make sense because what if it was the other ghost cause in the second Luigi mansion you can see that the ghost were nice
Also Luigi's mansion is when the mario characters FIRST time they meet E gadd
I do think it's strange how the boos are stuck there but King boo did send the note. He confirms it at the end in the 1000 line talk. However he doesnt care one bit about luigis friends which is strange. I thought luigis mansion 3 would surely have him go berserk. Hes not crazy there but he captured luigi and forced him to use his invention to escape. Is he testing luigi to see if he can beat him?
This all makes sense except one part, why was E Gadd put in a painting in Luigis mansion 2?
Seriously that whole thing with partners in time was just by accident how could he know the shroobs were attacking.
Because he remembers just look at the volcano scene
I think you should expand on that Fawful theory. I find it the most compelling and interesting part of the video.
What if junior just lied to egadd
Yoshi yosh, Yoshi!
(E.Gadd turns in to Dr Gero? Sign me in!)
We know from some videos that that pink ghost invited gadd telling him that she has got a ghost collegsion than traps him in a painting freeing all the ghosts in luigis mansion 3
He just wants to test his inventions and sell them to either capture ghosts for him or maybe something else.
The 50 Boos and the King Boo weren't trapped the were hiding. And E. Gadd captured the other ghost when he was young. Also, in Luigi's Mansion 2 (Dark Moon), E. Gadd wouldn't free King Boo because he wants to study the ghosts while they are nice. As for the gem in King Boo's Crown, is a different one from Luigi's Mansion's and more powerful, what we can easily realise because that one was red and this new one is purple. In Luigi's Mansion 3, E. Gadd was trapped in a portrait as well. It was Hellen Gravely who freed King Boo this time.
As for the story of him selling King Boo's painting, I totally believe him, He probably just wanted money so he can move to Ever Shade Valley and study ghosts.
