Dr. Wright (ドクターライト) is a character that appeared in the SNES version SimCity. He has been publicly revitalized though his trophy appearance in Melee, and Assist Trophy in Brawl.
Character Description
In SimCity, the player was cast as mayor, assisted by Dr. Wright. Named after series creator Will Wright, he possesses tall green hair and eyebrows with a black toothbrush mustache, wearing spectacles and a brown suit with purple bow tie, and holding white baton. Dr.Wright is tasked with giving the mayor timely advice to help his budding city flourish and prosper, while preventing its destruction from various disasters, natural and otherwise; one such being such as a Godzilla-like attack from none other than Bowser.
As a character appearing in an old port of a primarily PC-based series not owned by Nintendo, Dr. Wright is one of their most obscure properties. Most contemporary gamers were unaware of his existence until Melee in 2001. If the SNES version of Sim City wasn't puplished by Nintendo, Dr. Wright would have likely not appeared in the Super Smash Bros. series.
Melee Trophy Description
- 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.
