'''Professor E. Gadd''', full name '''Professor Elvin Gadd''' (or sometimes '''Dr. E. Gadd'''; known as "Professor Oyama" in Japan), is a fictional character who has made a number of appearances in different [[Mario]] games, each time appearing as a mad, but friendly, gadget-inventing scientist.  He always speaks in ambiguous gibberish, but the translation is always provided in a text box.


In Japan the professor is named after [[Nintendo]] game designer Yoshiyuki Oyama. The English name comes from "egad", a minced oath.
'''Mario''' is the hero of the [[Mushroom Kingdom]]. Mario was orignally created by [[Shigeru Miyamoto]] in [[1981]], where he first appeared in the video game ''[[Donkey Kong (arcade game)|Donkey Kong]]'' in the arcades. Despite his lengthy history, Mario is in many ways an undeveloped character, with many details of his accepted biography having been created through a complex lore spawned from the imaginations of comic book artists, cartoon writers, and fans.


Professor E. Gadd debuted in ''[[Luigi's Mansion]]'' as one of the main characters. [[Luigi]] enters the mansion and is saved from ghosts by a strange old man wielding a vacuum cleaner. Professor E. Gadd reveals he lives in a house near the mansion, where he researches his favourite subject — ghosts. Luigi explains his brother Mario is missing within the house, and the professor decides to help Luigi by giving him two of his inventions, the [[Poltergust 3000]] and the [[Game Boy Horror]]. The professor continues to help Luigi throughout the game, giving him help and tips.
Mario got his name when someone at Nintendo thought that he looked like the Italian landlord of a [[Nintendo]] of America office in New York, Mario Segali. His surname is also "Mario" since the name of the first game starring [[Luigi]] had the name "Mario Brothers."


In ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'', when Mario finds [[FLUDD]], it says: "Thank you for purchasing this item from Gadd Science, Inc." Later, [[Bowser Jr.]] says he got his [[Magic Paintbrush|magic paintbrush]] from "a strange old man in a white coat". This is a fitting description of Professor E. Gadd, which is further confirmed when FLUDD seems to react in surprise to the statement. It is unknown if E. Gadd actually  gave Bowser Jr. the Gaddbrush, or if Bowser Jr. stole it from him, but the latter theory is more likely.  There is a symbol both on the Magic Paintbrush and FLUDD, showing a face and hairstyle similar to E. Gadd's, which seems to be the Gadd Science, Inc., logo.  It appears on many of E. Gadd's other inventions.
Officially, Nintendo producers have stated that Mario's biography is kept simple in order to make the character versatile and reusable in many different games and situations. Mario is one of the most underdeveloped characters in the [[Marioverse]], with characters such as [[Bowser]] and [[Princess Peach]] having more complex, consistent, and unique back stories.


In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'', the professor makes an appearance supplying the brothers with an array of accessories to help them along their way each time they drink at [[Starbeans Café]], a coffeehouse that he owns. However, it has been found that originally, the game was only going to feature Professor E. Gadd once, the first time you get a drink. In all of the future times, it would feature a different character. These characters are [[Wario]], [[Samus Aran]], Fox McCloud, [[Link]], ''Excitebike'' racer, and Captain Olimar.
In his first appearance in ''Donkey Kong'', all that was stated was that he was a carpenter who had to save [[Pauline]] from [[Donkey Kong]].  He later reappeared in [[Donkey Kong Jr. (arcade)|Donkey Kong Jr.]], and was actually the villain.  He had DK caged up, hitting him with a whip.  DK's son, [[Donkey Kong Jr.|DK Jr.]] had to save him.  His third appearance in ''[[Mario Bros.]]'' changed his profession to plumber, which was more fitting with the pipe theme of that game. Here, Mario and his brother Luigi cleaned out the sewers of [[Brooklyn]]. This fact, in addition to both the cartoon series and the movie, led many to believe that Brooklyn was Mario's original home. Newer games and manuals, however, state that he grew up in the fictional [[Mushroom Kingdom]]. Some have suggested that the brothers were taken to the "[[Real World]]" at an early age, while others disagree with this because it contradicts the other games and the ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' guide, which was written after ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]''. It appears as though the idea that Mario grew up in Brooklyn was retconned, and, at any rate, in no actual Mario game does it say that Mario grew up in Brooklyn, just the text manual of Mario Bros.
[[Image:Yoshi smw2.PNG|100px|thumb|left|Mario riding [[Yoshi]] in [[Super Mario World]].]]
Over the course of his many games, Mario has rescued a number of women from captivity (including Pauline, Princess Peach, and [[Princess Daisy]]) and has become regarded as a great hero in the Mushroom Kingdom. There is no definitive time line for the events in the various games, most of which could be placed in nearly any order.
Mario's distinctive look is due to technology restrictions in the mid-'80s: with a limited number of pixels and colors, the programmers could not animate Mario's movement without making his arms "disappear" if his shirt was a solid color; they did not have the space to give him a mouth; and they could not animate hair, so Mario got overalls, a moustache, and a cap to bypass these problems. Mario's creator Shigeru Miyamoto has also stated when interviewed that Mario wears a cap because he finds it difficult to draw hair.{{fact}}


In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]'', the professor debuts his newest invention to the [[Mushroom Kingdom]], a time machine. However, when [[Princess Peach]] ends up stuck in the past, E. Gadd provides the brothers a suitcase enhanced with artificial intelligence named [[Stuffwell]] to help them on their quest. The heroes later meet Young Prof. E. Gadd, who is researching the behavior of the [[Thwomps]] at Thwomp Volcano. After his lab is destroyed by the eruption of the volcano, he mentions his interests in studying ghosts, and that he would be buying a lab at the edge of Boo Woods, nodding toward his first appearance in Luigi's Mansion.
When Mario was first conceived, he looked, more or less, as he does today: a short, plump man with the trademark hat, brown hair, black mustache and overalls. He normally wears blue overalls on top of a red shirt, but such was not always the case. Originally, he wore red overalls on top of a blue shirt — almost exactly the opposite of what he wears now. The American ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'' was the first appearance of his modern outfit (the box had the red overalls-on-blue shirt, but the game itself had a blue overalls-on-red shirt); however, it was ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' that standardized today's blue overalls-on-red shirt outfit. (Incidentally, the original ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' has neither in-game; Mario wears a brown shirt with red overalls). Mario's outfit rarely changes, though he's known to change it on occasion if the situation calls for it. For example, in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'', Mario wore short sleeves instead of his usual long sleeved shirt, and could even forgo this entirely in favor of a more tropical shirt design worn over his normal shirt, which he always wore with sunglasses.


In ''[[Mario Party Advance]]'', the player can use the coins earned in the mini-games to buy Professor E. Gadd's zany "[[Gaddget|Gaddgets]]". In ''[[Mario Party 6]]'' Professor E. Gadd appears in his own board, [[E. Gadd's Garage]]. Players see him when they land on a ? space and usually get to try one of his inventions. In addition to this, E. Gadd's inventions are sometimes used as items in the Mario Part series.

'''[[Poltergust 3000]]'''
"It's Mario, silly! He's here to save Princess Peach, who was kidnapped by Bowser. Remember? He fights until the bitter end, no matter what enemies attack!" -[[Lee]] or a [[Duplighost]], when copying [[Goombario]]'s Tattle ability
A modified vacuum cleaner designed to entrap ghosts. It also has a "blow" function which allows it to expel elements it sucks up such as fire, water, and ice. Luigi uses this in ''Luigi's Mansion'' to defend himself from the many ghosts; it also makes a return in ''[[Mario Power Tennis]]'' where Luigi uses it as his defensive Power move, using its suction power to retrieve the ball.


'''Super Poltergust 3001'''
== Mario's Powers and Abilities ==
An advanced version of a Poltergust 3000. It has the same functions as the Poltergust 3000, but is much larger because it can be ridden on. When ridden, it hovers over the ground. It can move at high speeds. E. Gadd uses briefly it in ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga''.
[[Image:ssb-marios.jpg|thumb|200px|right|When Mario appeared in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl|Brawl]]'', his clothing was much more realistic.]]
* Mario can (in some games) control fire without a powerup.
* In ''Super Mario Bros. 2'', Mario and the other three playable characters have a Super Jump. Mario would duck down, and after about two seconds, he'd start to glow. When he releases his energy, Mario would jump twice as high.
* Mario's Super Jump height was exceeded only by his Ultra Jump, from ''Super Mario RPG''. With this special attack, Mario can jump on enemies consecutively one hundred times (if performed correctly). This is one of Mario's most dangerous attacks.
* Mario even has his own fighting style. Although he never really uses it in his games, he does use the martial arts in a ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' comic. In the comic, while figting [[Lemmy Koopa]], Mario says "Good thing I know karate." In the following panel, Mario jumps many times in a rapid motion, dodging all of Lemmy's attacks with ease.
* Mario has many different jumps: Jump, Super Jump, Ultra Jump, Running Jump, Backflip, Somersault, Spin Jump, Mario Tornado, Super Jump Punch, and the Triple Jump.
*In ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'', Mario can perform three or more jumps in midair.
*In ''Super Mario 64'', Mario can hold his breath underwater for 46 seconds before dying. However, in other Mario games, the plumber can hold his breath indefinitely.
*Mario has 4 powerups that can make him fly- the [[Tanooki Suit]], the [[Raccoon Suit]], the [[Wing Cap]], and the [[Cape]].  
*In the RPG sub-series, Mario's most powerful weapon is the [[Ultra Hammer]] (However, in ''Super Mario RPG'', the Ultra Hammer is only the second most powerful weapon; the hidden item, the [[Lazy Shell]], is his most powerful weapon.).


'''Poltergust 4000'''
{{fact}}<noinclude>Lots of those abilities.</noinclude>
One of the vehicles used by Luigi in ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'' to race in. It is similar to the Super Poltergust 3001, though it does not float. The "barrel" of the car is the area Luigi sits on, and the nozzle rests on the ground. Emblems are placed on both sides of the barrel.


'''[[Game Boy Horror]]'''
== Paper Abilities of ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''==
A portable device that bears a striking resemblance to the [[Game Boy Color]] containing a built-in camera which E. Gadd can use to watch the action from the safety of his lab and contact Luigi. It also stores data including a map and anything Luigi has collected, and contains a special radar called the Boo Radar to find hidden spherical objects.
'''Airplane Mode:''' The player can make Mario enter this mode by positioning him over a plane panel and pressing Y. This turns him into a plane. He can then glide through the air. The player uses the control stick to steer him. <br>
'''Paper Mode:''' Mario can turn sideways if the player presses R. (He is paper thin in the [[Paper Mario]] series, so sideways he can get through thin cracks.) <br>
'''Tube Mode:''' Hold down R and rotate the control stick.<br>
'''Boat Mode:''' Position Mario over a boat panel and press Y.  


'''Game Boy Horror SP'''
==Names of Mario==
The upgraded version of the Game Boy Horror, given to Mario by E. Gadd in ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga''. It is another portable device (this time bearing striking resemblance to a [[Game Boy Advance SP]]). It increases the likelihood of earning rare items in battle.  It was originally going to be simply the Game Boy Horror.

'''Ghost Portrificationizer'''
==Portrayals==
A large machine which works in conjunction with the Poltergust 3000. Certain ghosts captured can be entrapped in portraits to be hung in E. Gadd's gallery. The machine also works in reverse, which was utilized to free Mario from the painting he had been trapped in by [[King Boo]].
Was voiced/portrayed by:
*[[Lou Albano]] in the [[Super Mario Bros. Super Show]].
*[[Walker Boone]] in [[The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3]] and [[Super Mario World (TV series)|Super Mario World]] cartoons.
*[[Charles Martinet]] in most of the video games.
*[[Bob Hoskins]] in the [[Super Mario Bros. (film)|Super Mario Bros.]] movie.


'''[[FLUDD]]'''
==''[[Mario Superstar Baseball]]'' Bio==
The Flash Liquidizer Ultra Dousing Device, or FLUDD, is a water-spraying backpack used by Mario in ''Super Mario Sunshine''. It has various nozzle attachments which can be collected by breaking open boxes with E. Gadd's logo on the front. FLUDD also has notable artificial intelligence and the ability to communicate with a voice. In certain ways, FLUDD functions much as Navi did in ''The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time''.
"Everyone's favorite hero. When Peach is in trouble, he always saves the day!
A kart racer, tennis player, golf enthusiast, docter...the list goes on and on,
showing that he's a jack-of-all-trades. His trademark [[fireball]] will help him in his first
foray into baseball."


'''[[Magic Paintbrush]]'''
==External Links==
This is used by Bowser Jr. (as [[Shadow Mario]]) in ''Super Mario Sunshine''. It is a large paint brush with the ability to paint various colours and even create enemies. It is unclear why the brush was made as well as why it was given to Bowser Jr., though some fans claim he stole it or E. Gadd was tricked by Bowser Jr. using his Mario costume. In ''Mario Power Tennis'', Bowser Jr. uses his Magic Brush to perform special moves.

An intelligent suitcase used by the [[Mario Bros.]] on their quest in ''Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time''. Its purpose is to manage the brothers' inventory and display their current status. It also helps the brothers by activating the [[Shroob]] Saucers that you use in the game, and eventually near the end develops the ability to return to the past before you rescue Princess Peach. It is known to use large and overly complex words when he speaks, and upon ending its speeches, says "BACK TO ADVENTURE!"

'''Starbeans Café'''
[[Category: Characters]]
The café in the beanbean kingdom, made by E. Gadd. Strangely enough, it does not have any toilets. At one point, E. Gadd puts up a larger-than-life-size portrait. Every time Mario and Luigi mix a new drink, E. Gadd visits.
 
'''Ghost Suit'''
A pale blue jacket that, when worn, turns characters into a ghost. When E. Gadd wore this in ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga'', Luigi got scared and used the Poltergust 3000 to vacuum him up.
 
'''The Gaddlight'''
A flashlight that is used to scare away [[Boo]]s when they try to steal a Star or [[coins]] in ''[[Mario Party 4]]''.
 
'''Hydrogush 4000'''
A large water pump used in ''Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time''. It's not portable like the FLUDD, but it does have a lot of power.
 
'''DS Time Radar'''
A handheld device that bears a striking resemblance to a [[Nintendo DS]] used briefly by E. Gadd to find [[Princess Peach]] in ''Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time''. It has the ability to pinpoint which time period someone is trapped in. One of the [[Toad|Toads]] thinks he just made it up. Also, when Professer E. Gadd turns on his Hydrogush 4000, he uses a DS-like device.
 
'''E. Gadd Battle Machine'''
Special parts that can be bought in the Super Duel Mode of ''[[Mario Party 5]]''. They include the E. Gadd body, E. Gadd Jet, E. Gadd Engine and E. Gadd gun.
 
'''Coin Vacuum'''
A vacuum from ''[[Mario Party 7]]''. It is a capsule item exclusive to [[Wario]] and [[Waluigi]]. It doesn't look much like the Poltergust 3000. Rather, it is yellow and purple (much like the two characters that use it), and features the E. Gadd logo. It is used to steal coins from other players.
 
'''Surprise Wand'''
A magic wand in ''[[Mario Party 7]]'', which has the E. Gadd logo on it.  It is exclusive to [[Boo]] and [[Dry Bones]].  It was used to turn the characters invisible, making them impervious to traps, and to give them double dice blocks for two turns.
 
'''E. Gadd's Garage'''
E. Gadd's garage is the garage he had in ''Mario Party 6''. He also keeps his numerous inventions there.  It also appears as a Rare Mini-Game.
 
'''[[Gaddgets]]'''
The Gaddgets appeared in ''[[Mario Party Advance]]''.  There were 80 total, and were very similar to the toys in the Wario Ware games.

Mario's current appearance, with mustache, blue overalls, red shirt and trademark hat.

Mario is the hero of the Mushroom Kingdom. Mario was orignally created by Shigeru Miyamoto in 1981, where he first appeared in the video game Donkey Kong in the arcades. Despite his lengthy history, Mario is in many ways an undeveloped character, with many details of his accepted biography having been created through a complex lore spawned from the imaginations of comic book artists, cartoon writers, and fans.

Mario got his name when someone at Nintendo thought that he looked like the Italian landlord of a Nintendo of America office in New York, Mario Segali. His surname is also "Mario" since the name of the first game starring Luigi had the name "Mario Brothers."

Mario is one of the most underdeveloped characters in the Marioverse, with characters such as Bowser and Princess Peach having more complex, consistent, and unique back stories.

In his first appearance in Donkey Kong, all that was stated was that he was a carpenter who had to save Pauline from Donkey Kong. He later reappeared in Donkey Kong Jr., and was actually the villain. He had DK caged up, hitting him with a whip. DK's son, DK Jr. had to save him. His third appearance in Mario Bros. changed his profession to plumber, which was more fitting with the pipe theme of that game. Here, Mario and his brother Luigi cleaned out the sewers of Brooklyn. This fact, in addition to both the cartoon series and the movie, led many to believe that Brooklyn was Mario's original home. Newer games and manuals, however, state that he grew up in the fictional Mushroom Kingdom. Some have suggested that the brothers were taken to the "Real World" at an early age, while others disagree with this because it contradicts the other games and the Super Mario 64 guide, which was written after Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island.
