Professor E. Gadd
Mario Kart Characters
Save for a cameo appearance in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, Professor E. Gadd is rarely seen outside of the Luigi’s Mansion series. This needs to change, as the creator of the Poltergust vacuum our cowardly but loveable hero uses to vanquish ghosts and specters is more than deserving of a spot on the tour.
Despite there being a kart based on the Poltergust in the Nintendo DS iteration of the Mario Kart series, Professor E. Gadd was nowhere to be found in Mario Kart DS itself. That seems like a missed opportunity, but there’s always a chance to make things right by having the good professor join up with the Mario Kart cast as a driver.
Even if it’s simply in Mario Kart Tour, which we’ve already seen has no problem adding a robust lineup of never-before-playable characters to its roster, Professor E. Gadd would be a lovely addition. He could even join during an upcoming Halloween-themed tour for the game, as that would be the perfect time for the professor to make his arrival on the roster and invent some new ways to win on the racetrack.
