Editing Ghost T.

{{quote|So you've found me. Well, as you see, I'm a ghost. I'm cursed to haunt [[Excess Express|this place]]. A blanket? Well, yes, the conductor did leave one here. He didn't realize that I'm a ghost. A yummy, sticky threat? No, I left no such thing. I can't even hold physical objects like pen and paper. What? You just want the blanket, then? Well, I'll tell you where it is if you do something for me. What do you say?|Ghost T.|Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door}}

'''Ghost T.''' is a deceased [[Toad (species)|Toad]] in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'' who had passed away on the [[Excess Express]] many years before the game's setting and now exists in limbo between this world and the next. He resides in Cabin 004, which is a reference to how in Chinese and Japanese, the word for "four" ([[wiktionary:四|四]]; ''Rōmaji'': ''shi'', Pinyin: ''sì'' ) sounds similar to the word for "death" ([[wiktionary:死|死]]; ''Rōmaji'': ''shi'', Pinyin: ''sǐ'' ), making it an unlucky number in East Asian culture. His name is a pun on "ghosty", the diminutive form of "ghost".

Ghost T. is encountered on the Excess Express as [[Mario]] and his party are on their way to [[Poshley Heights]]. On the first day, [[Excess Express conductor|the conductor]] will note he is missing a blanket, suggesting there is a passenger on the train with no ticket who has taken the blanket.  The conductor asks for Mario's help in solving the mystery. Mario must enter Cabin 004 and use [[Vivian]]'s [[Veil]] move to hide in order for Ghost T. to appear after a moment. He will show them the blanket, but demands an exchange for it; he left his [[Ragged Diary|Diary]] in the baggage car and does not want anybody except himself to read it, and this quandary is the reason for him lingering on the train after an unspecified death.

Ghost T. specifically warns Mario not to read the diary or else he will suffer a cursed fate. If Mario does open it, he will be warned three times not to read it. Should he ignore all the warnings, Mario will only be able to read the first couple of lines before Ghost T. appears from the Diary, yells at Mario for his ignorance, and, in the original game, a [[Dizzy Dial]] animation plays as he forces an automatic [[Game Over]], or, in the [[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Nintendo Switch)|remake]], the screen turns monochrome with static effects, which are followed by an iris out and gets a Game Over. If Mario returns the diary, Ghost T. explains that if he had read it, he would have become a ghost himself. After his diary is returned, Ghost T. hands Mario the [[blanket]] to hand to the conductor. A column of light then shines on Ghost T. as he begins to ascend into the next world, but he stops halfway through the ascension and decides to stay in the earthly realm because he has grown fond his train cabin's wood paneling (wallpaper in the original version, though the cabin has just wood paneling and no wallpaper in both versions).

Later, Ghost T. sends an [[Mailbox SP#Ghost T.: Hellooooooo|e-mail]] to Mario. He does so by possessing the [[Excess Express conductor]]. Also, despite originally claiming that he could not leave his room, he somehow managed to leave a note on [[Rogueport]]'s bulletin board, possibly by possessing the conductor again or someone else.

<blockquote>Oooo hooo hooo hooo! Long time, no spook! It is I, the spirit from the Excess

Express!

I bet you're wondering how an ethereal being like myself can type an e-mail...well, I actually possessed the train conductor to do it! Ooo hoo hoo hoo hoo! Don't worry, though! He's doing just fine!<br>

I think maybe I'll do my new diary like this...E-mail's convenient, you know? And leaving a record of my afterlife is cool, in a spiritual sense, I mean...<br>

*"''That's Ghost T.  He's pretty lighthearted for a ghost... But still... A ghost is a ghost!''"
