Ghost T. is a deceased Toad who appears in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door aboard the Excess Express. He resides in Cabin 004 and lives between this life and beyond. He died on the train many years before the game takes place.
Encounter[]
The conductor of the Excess Express is missing a blanket, so he asks Mario to find one. To complete this, Mario must go to Cabin 004 and use Vivian's Veil for a few seconds to make Ghost T. appear. Ghost T. asks Mario to find his Diary and to NOT read it, or he will have a horrible fate. Mario finds the Diary in the baggage area and returns it to Ghost T. (Note: If Mario reads his Diary, he is repeatedly asked if he really wants to. If he answers "yes" on all three questions, he will read the Diary, Ghost T. will appear in the baggage area, curse Mario by spinning the game screen, and there will be a Game Over.) Ghost T. will grant Mario with a blanket to give to the train conductor. He will attempt to move on to the sky for the next life but will decide to stay for a while longer on the train.
If Mario comes back to the Excess Express after this encounter, Ghost T. will appear again when Vivian does her Veil move.
Later on in the game, Ghost T. sends an e-mail to Mario. He does so by possessing the train conductor since he cannot hold physical objects.
Trivia[]
- He never leaves the train once Mario encounters him.
- Ghost T. is currently not able to hold objects, but his diary is from his past life, from when he could hold physical objects and write with them.
- Ironically, before requesting Mario to achieve his diary, Ghost T. states that he cannot leave his room. However, if the player reads his diary anywhere, he will appear in front of Mario and tell him he shouldn't have read his diary. Thus giving him a game over. This could've been a mistake that the creators made in the game.
