In the remake, ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions'', specifically in the alternate story mode ''Minion Quest: The Search for Bowser'', it was revealed that the reason why E. Gadd created the franchise was so it would act as secondary funding for his ghost research which he mindlessly admitted to an already-departed [[Captain Goomba (Mario & Luigi series)|Captain Goomba]] and his soldiers while rambling.
