In Super Smash Bros. Brawl

This is to maintain consistency with the PAL region title of the Brain Age series, in which Dr. Kawashima is named.

In Super Smash Bros. 4

Dr. Kawashima appears at least Super Smash Bros. for Wii U as an Assist Trophy. He attacks by firing numbers at players, which can be deflected by attacking them. If numbers collide and add to 10, a giant explosion will be produced.
