Ghost T. is a deceased Toad in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door who died on the Excess Express many years before the game's setting and now exists in limbo between this world and the next (in cabin 004, to be precise). As with many ghosts, he is trying to resolve earthly conflicts before moving on to the next life (which is inferred by Super Paper Mario to be The Underwhere, though this was not canonical at the time). He lingers on the train because he left his diary in the baggage car and does not want anybody except himself to read it. Mario retrieves the diary for him and gives it to Ghost T. Soon, a light shines on Ghost T., and he begins to ascent into the next world. However, he stops three fourths up the light, deciding to stay in the earthly realm. His reason for staying is that he likes the wallpaper of his train cabin. It is unknown exactly how he died on the Excess Express (or how the death of a passenger affected the seemingly famous train), and even reading his diary (which will result in him destroying Mario with a Dizzy Dial-like animation) reveals no information, simply stating that Ghost T. "got on a train" at an unknown time and ending with the phrase "And on that train...", at which Ghost T. would appear and deliver the aforementioned Game Over. Though it is hinted by the waitress in the train that he died from eating a Poison mushroom, though he went with a smile.
Later on in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, Ghost T. writes an e-mail to Mario. He does so by possessing the conductor of the Excess Express, as he himself cannot hold physical objects (something he himself notes to Mario upon first meeting the plumber). However, despite this, he somehow managed to leave a note on Rogueport's bulletin board, possibly through possession of the conductor yet again.
Trivia
- The name "Ghost T." is a pun on "ghostly".
