Professor E. Gadd's Research Journal

Professor E. Gadd's Research Journal refers to a series of entries related to the Luigi's Mansion series found on Nintendo's website. The entries are mainly comprised of background informations on the events that led to the creation of Gooigi between Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon and Luigi's Mansion 3. This article aims to be a transcript of these entries with the goal of archiving these informations in case they would be taken down from Nintendo's site for whatever reason. Like the name imply, the entries are written from Professor E. Gadd's perspective.

XXX-001 An Accidental Discovery
Ghosts: spirits that dwell in the darkness and take

great joy in scaring humans. Some of these

ghosts have grown attached to me, and I've

noticed (and collected!) a strange liquid energy

from them. I'm certain this liquid is the key to

many, many new inventions!

My many experiments failed to reveal anything

about this peculiar ghost energy! It didn't react to

cold or heat; I tried poking it with iron, pouring it

on rubber… I may have even dipped my morning

donut in it… All to no effect!

But then, a breakthrough! I was restoring my

scientific gusto with an exquisite cup of coffee—a

Lunoman Greenie blend from Evershade

Valley—when a stealthy ghost snuck up behind

me. In my shock, I spilled the entire cup of joe into

a vial of the ghost energy and… it reacted

instantly!

The ghost energy quickly began changing color,

adopting the same green as my finely brewed

beverage! After a bit it also gained viscosity, and

now it appears to have stablized into an entirely

new element!

I have decided to name this element "Goo." I must

return to my research on Goo POSTHASTE!

XXX-002 Characteristics of "Goo"
Goo: The revolutionary discovery that resulted from my entirely scientific tests of the interaction between

ghost energy and Lunoman Greenie coffee blend. In order to determine the real-world applications of Goo,

I've executed exhaustive research on its characteristics.

My first test exposed Goo to an open flame. I

expected no result since ghost energy has never

responded to fire, but I was mistaken! Not only

did Goo react, it melted away entirely—clearly it

possesses a vulnerability to heat.

Logically, I followed my fire test with a water test.

I expected a new reaction...but to my surprise,

exposure to water caused Goo to melt away as

before-suggesting a watery weakness. However! I

did notice something different this time...

To my shock, the part of the Goo that had not

touched the water—and thus did not

dissolve—immediately moved away from the

water hazard!

Goo has displayed many other unusual

characteristics, as well. When poked or prodded,

Goo will actually push back! It also moves toward

nearby sounds, displaying some kind of hearing

ability. As best I can tell, Goo is intelligently

reacting to outside stimuli! I've never seen

anything like this before!



There MUST be some greater purpose that Goo

can be used for. Once I get another cup of my

delicious Lunoman Greenie coffee blend, I'll

dedicate all my efforts to figuring that out!
