The '''Excess Express conductor''' is a [[Toad (species)|Toad]] who works on the [[Excess Express]] in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''. He takes care of the passengers' needs. Unlike other Toads, the conductor sports a black cap with red spots, instead of the usual white cap.

[[Ghost T.]] later possessed him so he could write an [[Mailbox SP|e-mail]] to [[Mario]]. Unlike other Toads, the conductor sports a black cap with red spots, instead of the usual white cap.
 
==History==
When Mario boards the Excess Express, he reports the sticky, yummy threat to the conductor, who then reports to [[Pennington]], the only detective on board. After Mario gives an [[autograph]] of the [[Excess Express engineer|train engineer]] to [[Bub]] the [[Bob-omb]] kid, Mario must talk to the conductor, who reports that he found himself one blanket short when distributing them to the passengers as he had given his own to the last passenger, meaning that one of the passengers came aboard without a ticket. As he won't be able to sleep comfortably without his blanket, he asks Mario to look for the unticketed passenger and get the blanket. Mario has to go to Cabin 004 and use [[Vivian]] to [[Veil|hide]] in the shadows, which makes [[Ghost T.]] appear. Mario must ask the ghost for the blanket, but Ghost T. asks Mario to fetch his diary that is in the baggage car first. Mario must return to the conductor, to whom he has to explain the situation for access into the baggage car, which the conductor grants him as he steps aside. In the baggage car, Mario must use Paper Mode to squeeze through two crates to find a [[Ragged Diary|ragged diary]] (If Mario reads the diary, he will get an automatic [[Game Over]]). Mario must hand the diary to Ghost T., who gives him the blanket as promised, and Mario must give it to the conductor, who rewards him with a [[Mushroom]]. Afterward, the conductor tells Mario that he should go to bed for the night.
 
On the third day, the conductor gets absorbed into a hoard of [[Smorg]]s that attack the train. Mario fends off the Smorgs in the baggage car and free the conductor, along with the [[Excess Express waitress|waitress]]. After Mario defeats the Smorgs, causing them to blow away in the wind, the conductor expresses his surprise that everything Mario did over the three days aboard the train was to save everybody on board.
 
Later, [[Ghost T.]] possesses him so he can write an [[Mailbox SP#Ghost T.: Hellooooooo|email]] to [[Mario]].

In the [[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Nintendo Switch)|remake]] on the [[Nintendo Switch]], the conductor is added to the group in Poshley Heights as they shout support into the Crystal Star to aid Mario and his partners during the final battle.


<!-- Not sure if the standards keep "walkthrough"-style sections like this any more, as I haven't been here in a while. Perhaps this should at least be written as stating what Mario does in the game, rather than what "you" need to do to complete it, so that it seems more like history than a guide. -->
When Mario first board the train, he must report to him the sticky, yummy threat, which he then reports to [[Pennington]], the only detective on board. Later, to move on, Mario and his partners must get his blanket from the ghost in cabin 004 (by using [[Vivian]] to hide in the shadows, causing him to appear). To do this, Mario must ask [[Ghost T.]] for the blanket and he'll ask for Mario's help first. If he decides to help him, he will ask Mario to get his diary from the baggage car. Then, Mario has to ask the conductor to let him in and he will. By using Paper Mode to get through two crates, Mario finds a [[Ragged Diary|ragged diary]]. If Mario reads it, he will get an automatic [[Game Over]]. By returning the diary to Ghost T., he is given the blanket. After Mario gives it to the conductor, he must return to his bed.

[[Goombella]] has an alternate [[tattle]] for the conductor after Mario rescues him from the [[Smorg]]s in the baggage car.
*"''That's the conductor of the Excess Express. I bet he didn't expect all this today!''"
