In '' | '''Dr. Wright''' ({{ja|ドクターライト|Dokutā Raito}}, ''Doctor Wright'') is a character that appeared in the SNES version of ''SimCity''. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. (series)|Super Smash Bros.]]'', he is seen as a normal [[trophy]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' as well as an [[Assist Trophy]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'', and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. | ||

Dr. Wright made his | Dr. Wright made his first appearance in the SNES (and cancelled NES) version of ''SimCity''. In ''SimCity'', he acts as an adviser for the player, giving players tips on how to manage the city. Named after series creator {{iw|wikipedia|Will Wright|game designer}}, he possesses tall green hair and eyebrows with a black toothbrush mustache. He wears spectacles and a brown suit with a purple bow tie, and holds a white baton. Dr. Wright helped the player by giving the player hints and suggestions on how to get the city prosperous, while preventing its destruction from various disasters, natural and otherwise - including a Godzilla-like attack from none other than [[Bowser]]. He reappeared in this role in the Japan-only ''SimCity 64'', which was developed by [[HAL Laboratory]]. | ||

He is rarely referenced outside of ''Smash'', although he is the basis for the characters {{s|zeldawiki|Mr. Write}} and {{s|zeldawiki|Dr. Left}} from the {{uv|The Legend of Zelda}} games. | ||

As a player, you'd have to use your wisdom and experience to give timely advice to the mayor; if you did a good job, the city prospered. Dr. Wright is one of the leaders in the all-time, bizarre Nintendo-game-hairstyle contest.'' | |||

Dr. Wright appears as an Assist Trophy | Dr. Wright appears once again as an Assist Trophy. This time, he can be attacked, though doing so will result in him counterattacking with even larger skyscrapers. Another noticeable change from the previous games is that his entrance animation is slightly different. He can be defeated if he takes enough damage, though doing so can be quite difficult due to how short he remains onscreen. | ||
