'''Elvin Gadd''' is the younger version of [[Professor E. Gadd]] who appears in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]''. He is 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 [[Thwomp]]s 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. After Elvin Gadd sees [[Baby Mario]] douse the giant Thwomp, the memories of Elvin Gadd's 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 the [[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 [[Unrevisitable area|cannot be revisited]].
