Dr. Wright (ドクターライト) is a character that appeared in the SNES version of the PC game SimCity. 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 is one of Nintendo's most obscure characters. 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.
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.
- (SimCity, 8/91)
In Super Smash Bros. Brawl
Dr. Wright is a helper character which can be released from an Assist Trophy in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. He launches buildings from the ground directly in front of himself to damage and hurl the other players in the air. Usually he creates a small building that doesn't cover much ground, but rarely he creates a huge skyscraper that covers a lot more ground and deals more damage.
