The '''Gaddlight''', known as the '''Boo-Away Orb''' in its [[Orb]] form seen in ''[[Mario Party 6]]'', is an item that appears in the [[Mario Party (series)|''Mario Party'' series]]. It is a [[flashlight]] that can be used to prevent [[Boo]] from stealing from its holder, much like the [[Boo Repellant]] from ''[[Mario Party 3]]''. The [[Snack Orb]] is another similar item, particularly in its ''[[Mario Party 5]]'' incarnation as the Bone Capsule.

==History==
===''Mario Party 4''===
[[File:Gaddlight In Use - Mario Party 4.png|thumb|left|Mario preventing Boo from stealing his coins in ''Mario Party 4''.]]
The Gaddlight first appears in ''Mario Party 4'', where it can be bought from an [[Item Shop (Mario Party series)|Item Shop]] for 15 coins. When a player carrying a Gaddlight in their inventory is targeted by an opponent to have Boo steal [[coin]]s or a [[Star (Mario Party series)|Star]] from that player, the player automatically uses and consumes the Gaddlight, flashing the Boo with the item's light to scare it away. The targeted player character is seen standing and holding the Gaddlight within the [[Boo's Crystal Ball]], rather than the usual "scared" pose used when Boo steals from a player. A player carrying a Gaddlight can use it on their turn to throw it away, though this counts as the single item use that players are allowed per turn. The Gaddlight does not protect against [[Big Boo (character)|Big Boo]] in [[Boo's Haunted Bash]].

The item's English name implies that it was invented by [[Professor E. Gadd]], referencing his occupation as a ghost hunter and researcher in ''[[Luigi's Mansion]]''. This is further evidenced by its German name, since his inventions are named Schreckweg 08/16 ([[Poltergust 3000]]) and Dreckweg 08/17 ([[F.L.U.D.D.]]). However, this connection is not present in the item's Japanese name, and it lacks the symbol of his head that is seen on most of his inventions.

===''Mario Party 6''===
[[File:Boo Away Orb.jpg|thumb|right|The Boo-Away Orb as it appears in ''Mario Party 6'']]
The Gaddlight reappears in ''Mario Party 6'', now in Orb form as the Boo-Away Orb. The item contained within the Orb retains a similar appearance to its appearance in ''Mario Party 4'', and its Japanese name refers to the Gaddlight. The Boo-Away Orb retains the Gaddlight's effects from ''Mario Party 4'', though it now protects against [[Red Boo|Pink Boo]] instead of the ordinary Boo, as Pink Boo has replaced Boo's role in the game, with Boo instead being a playable character. It is only obtainable in [[Towering Treetop]] and [[Castaway Bay]], as these are the only boards in which Pink Boo can be found.
