'''Dr. Wright''' (Japanese:ドクターライト) is a character that appeared in the SNES version of the PC game ''SimCity''. As one of Nintendo's most obscure characters, Dr. Wright was brought more public attention with his appearance as a trophy in ''Melee'' and as a helper which can be released from an [[Assist Trophy]] in ''Brawl.


In the SNES version of SimCity, the player was cast as a character named Dr. Wright to be the assistant to the mayor of SimCity. Dr. Wright, of course, was named after Will Wright, and possesses an extremely flamboyant green hairstyle as well as a white baton. As Dr.Wright, it is the player's job to give the mayor timely advice to cause the budding city to flourish and prosper, as well as prevent it from being destroyed by various disasters, natural and otherwise (such as a Godzilla-type attack from none other than [[Bowser]] from the ''Mario'' series).


As a character appearing in an old SNES port of the first entry of a primarily PC-based series not owned by Nintendo, Dr. Wright becomes one of the most obscure characters in Nintendo. A lot of contemporary gamers were unaware of his existence until 2001, where ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'' depicted Dr. Wright as a collectible trophy alongside all manner of other Nintendo characters both as obscure as him and far more famous. More recently, Dr. Wright is given a more interactive role in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', as a character that can briefly appear in a battle from the [[Assist Trophy]] item.


==In ''Super Smash Bros. Melee''==
Dr. Wright was more-or-less reintroduced to gamers in his appearance as a collectible trophy in this game. It is unlockable as one of the 100+ trophies that can be collected randomly during normal play, such as in the [[Trophy Lottery]] and throughout the various Single-player Regular Matches. It reads as follows:


:'''Dr. Wright'''
:The assistant to the mayor of SimCity, Dr. Wright was actually named after the creator of the game. 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.
