Editing Gaddlight

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.
