Professor Elvin Gadd With The Goo
The Goo is a green slimy intelligent chemical element discovered and improved by Professor E. Gadd after the events of Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon and before Luigi's Mansion 3, as seen in Professor E. Gadd's Research Journal. This gooey substance is also the key element for the creation of Gooigi and the Poltergust G-00.
It is composed of a mixture of liquid ghost energy from Evershade Valley and Lunoman Greenie coffee blend. Goo can be altered using different types of ghost energy to change its compactness. The final version of Goo created by E. Gadd and used in Gooigi is a composition that shows a balance of the result of both loosely bound molecules and tightly bound molecules, giving it a malleable ability.
Story[]
While E. Gadd was experimenting without results the ghost energy he has collected with a cup of Lunoman Greenie coffee blend in hand, a Hider was able to escape and scare E. Gadd, making him spill part of the content of the cup of coffee into the vial of ghost energy in shock.
Just when one substance made contact with the other, the ghost energy reacted instantly. It morphed and changed shape, adopting the same green color as the coffee and gaining viscosity little by little to the point where it stabilized into an entirely new chemical element that E. Gadd decided to call "Goo". This is when the professor decided to research about the new substance immediately.
During his studies and multiple tests, he was able to verify that Goo is weak against fire and water, but most shockingly, it displayed an intelligent reaction to outside stimuli, like moving towards nearby sounds or moving away when touched. After discovering this new information, E. Gadd decided to use this new component to his advantage and teach Goo to collect ghost for him, which will lead to the creation of Gooigi.
Although E. Gadd had finally gotten the Goo to take the shape of Luigi, it still needed more improvements to enhance Gooigi's abilities beyond that of any normal person, so he began to investigate the different reactions of the Goo with other types of ghost energies beyond Evershade Valley, collected from the first mansion too.
Seeking the perfect combination to alter the Goo's viscous properties, he discovered that combining Goo with the energy that contains loosely bound molecules resulted in it being entirely unable to hold any sort of form. And yet, combining Goo with the tightly bound molecules resulted in a rigid substance that couldn't move at all. After more experiments, he managed to create the perfect formula of Goo that seemed to let Gooigi retain his form while giving him a fluid quality when needed with a perfect balance of both types of ghost energy.
Characteristics[]
These are the characteristics and weaknesses of the final and improved version of Goo made by E. Gadd.
- Viscosity that allow it to slip into or through tight spaces while still retaining shape.
- Note that if combined with ghost energy with loosely bound molecules will result in a more liquid form, while using tightly bound molecules results in a more rigid substance.
- Intelligent reaction to outside stimuli.
- Mimic of actions.
- Vulnerability to heat and fire.
- Vulnerability to water. Note that direct contact with liquid H2O will cause it to dissolve, but rooms containing water vapor or steam do not.
- Loses consistency when struck by powerful hits.
- Reaction to the frequency emitted by Boos, making vibrations when there is one close.
Trivia[]
- The name of the Poltergust G-00 is a pun with the word "Goo", the same way as Gooigi.
- The name "Goo" is also present in a ghost from the ScareScraper mode of Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon called Primordial Goo and some of its variations called Jack-goo-lantern and Goolf.
- The Gobbers from Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon and the Goobs from Luigi's Mansion 3 also have a similar name.
- During the research of the Goo, E. Gadd almost died in an accident caused by Polterpup when a rigid version of Goo covered his face, preventing him from breathing. He was saved thanks to Goo's weakness towards water.
- Goo is not an element, but a mixture.
