'''Young Professor Elvin Gadd''' is a character who appears in the [[Nintendo DS]] game, ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]''. He is the younger version of [[Professor Elvin Gadd]]. Young E. Gadd is encountered in [[Thwomp Volcano]], just after a massive eruption. [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], [[Baby Mario]], and [[Baby Luigi]] all find him in his lab at the bottom of the top of the volcano. The reason he was at Thwomp Volcano was to study the behavior of some [[Thwomp]]s. During the eruption, Young E. Gadd's lab caught on fire and later got totally burned. After the lab got burnt, he mentions his idea of studying [[ghost]]s at the edge of [[Boo Woods]], a reference to ''[[Luigi's Mansion]]'' and the young version is never seen in that game again.

Elvin Gadd, Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time

Elvin Gadd is the younger version of Professor Elvin Gadd who appears in Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time, identical in appearance to his older self, with the exception of his hair being black and his face having no wrinkles. Additionally, his voice is higher pitched than that of his older self. Of all the characters who have younger selves, Elvin Gadd is the only one that does not interact with his present-day self. Elvin Gadd is encountered in his lab on Thwomp Volcano as it is erupting, studying Thwomps and the history of the volcano itself. During the eruption, Elvin Gadd's lab is destroyed by Thwomps that fall through the building, including a massive, flaming one that is about to explode. Seeing Baby Mario douse the giant Thwomp, the memories of his present-day self suddenly start to be rearranged, and he has the idea of building the Hydrogush 4000.

Afterward, Elvin Gadd mentions that he plans on relocating to an affordable lab at the edge of Boo Woods for "paranormal research", a reference to Luigi's Mansion, and he is not seen again for the rest of the game. As his old lab is destroyed, it cannot be revisited.
