Dr. Wright made his debut 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]]. | Dr. Wright made his debut in the SNES (and cancelled NES) version of ''SimCity''.
