The SimCity universe (シムシティー, SimCity) is a long-running series of open-ended world-simulation games. The first version for a Nintendo console was the Super Nintendo Entertainment System video game (simply called SimCity) which starred Dr. Wright, a Nintendo-owned character who would not appear again until Super Smash Bros. Melee. Later Nintendo versions included two Japanese-only Nintendo 64 games - the 64DD-only SimCity 64 and a cartridge-based port of the PC game SimCity 2000; the Wii game SimCity Creator and two Nintendo DS games, SimCity DS and SimCity DS 2 (known as SimCity Creator outside of Japan). The series became a success and spawned various spinoffs including life simulator The Sims and creature breeding game Spore.
In the Super Smash Bros. Melee
Dr. Wright appears as a trophy in Super Smash Bros. Melee.
Trophy
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.

In Super Smash Bros. Brawl
Assist Trophy
Dr. Wright has a more major role in Brawl, where he appears as an Assist Trophy. After performing a jump that deals extremely minor damage on an opponent, he will summon a skyscraper from the ground, which inflicts high damage and knockback on any opponent it hits. Occasionally, Dr. Wright can summon a skyscraper 3x the standard size, which is even more powerful.
Trophy
- Dr. Wright
- A hardworking assistant to the city mayor. He has distinctive hair and spectacles and a dapper moustache. Dr. Wright has a comprehensive knowledge of city government and is happy to give you tips to keep your city running smoothly. In the game, he tracks your city's status and gives you gifts. There was a character reminiscent of him in The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening.

In Super Smash Bros. 4
Assist Trophy
Dr. Wright returns from Brawl as an assist trophy, still shown to raise a skyscraper from the stage to attack opponents.
In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
Dr. Wright returns as an Assist Trophy again. This time, however, Dr. Wright is capable of creating a larger skyscraper if an opponent attempts to attack him as a counter measure, which deals more damage.
Trivia
- SimCity is the only third-party universe to have a character in the Super Smash Bros. series that is created and owned by Nintendo.
