+'''Dr. Wright''' ({{ja|ドクターライト|Dokutā Raito}}, ''Doctor Wright'') is a character that appeared in the SNES version of ''SimCity''. In ''{{b|Super Smash Bros.|series}}'', he is seen as a normal [[trophy]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' as well as an [[Assist Trophy]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'', and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''.
-'''Dr. Wright''' (Japanese: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.
+==Origin==
+[[File:Dr. Wright SimCity SNES.png|thumb|left|175px|Dr. Wright as the adviser in ''SimCity'' (SNES).]]
+Dr. Wright made his debut in the SNES (and cancelled NES) version of ''SimCity''. In ''SimCity'', he acts as an adviser for the player, giving players tips on how to manage the city. Named after series creator {{iw|wikipedia|Will Wright|game designer}}, he possesses tall green hair and eyebrows with a black toothbrush mustache. He wears spectacles and a brown suit with a purple bow tie, and holds a white baton. Dr. Wright helped the player by giving the player hints and suggestions on how to get the city prosperous, while preventing its destruction from various disasters, natural and otherwise - including a Godzilla-like attack from none other than [[Bowser]]. He reappeared in this role in the Japan-only ''SimCity 64'', which was developed by [[HAL Laboratory]].
-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 games of a primarily PC-based series not owned by Nintendo—although the character himself ''is'' owned by Nintendo—Dr. Wright is relatively obscure and is rarely referenced outside of ''Smash''. He appears in ''The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening'', although he is called "{{s|zeldawiki|Mr. Write}}" in the English version. He also serves as the basis for {{s|zeldawiki|Dr. Left}} from ''Oracle of Seasons'' and ''The Minish Cap''.
+{{Clrl}}
-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. 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.

-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:

+When Dr. Wright is summoned, he uses his baton to erect three skyscrapers beside him, hurling players into the air. There is a one in ten chance that he will instead create super scrapers, covering a larger area and dealing more [[damage]]. He has a small hitbox below him when he is falling after being summoned, which deals 2%.

+===As an Assist Trophy===
-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.

+[[File:Dr.Wright SSBU.gif|thumb|200px|Dr. Wright as an Assist Trophy in [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]].]]
+Dr. Wright appears as an Assist Trophy and reprises his behavior from ''Brawl'' and ''Super Smash Bros. 4''.
+Dr. Wright's entrance animation is slightly different compared to his previous entrance animations. Dr. Wright can be attacked, though doing so will result in him counterattacking with even larger skyscrapers. In either case, however, his attack is considerably weaker than it was before. He can be KO'd if he takes enough damage, though doing so can be quite difficult due to how short he remains onscreen.
+Dr. Wright cannot be summoned on [[Arena Ferox]], [[Brinstar]], [[Corneria]], [[Dream Land GB]], [[Duck Hunt]], [[King of Fighters Stadium]], [[Luigi's Mansion]], [[Magicant]], [[Mishima Dojo]], [[Pac-Land]], [[Paper Mario]], [[Peach's Castle]], [[Spiral Mountain]], [[Spirit Train]], [[Super Mario Maker]], [[Tomodachi Life]], and [[Wrecking Crew]].
+===Spirit===
+Dr. Wright also appears as an Ace-class [[support spirit]]. He can be obtained through its challenge by collecting 777 unique spirits.
+Dr. Wright's Spirit Battle uses an army of {{SSBU|Villager}} puppet fighters and is fought on the [[New Donk City]] stage's [[Ω form]]. During the battle, Dr. Wright appears as a hostile Assist Trophy.

+==Trivia==
+*Interestingly, Dr. Wright is one of only three Assist Trophies in ''Brawl'' whose actual [[trophy]] is posed differently from his artwork on the [[Smash Bros. DOJO!!]]. [[Lyn]] and [[Mr. Resetti]] are the others.
+*If Dr. Wright is facing away from the stage into empty space, then he will sprout the building on the platform under him. If there are no platforms under the platform he is standing on, he will sprout the building where he is standing.
+*Dr. Wright is the only character in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series created and owned by [[Nintendo]] to hail from a third-party universe, as {{uv|SimCity}} was originally created by Maxis and is owned by Electronic Arts.
+**The reverse is true of [[Geno]].
+*In English, Dr. Wright is voiced by Nate Bihldorff, a Senior localization manager for [[Nintendo|Nintendo of America]] and voice actor of [[Shy Guy]] in the {{uv|Mario}} games. In Japanese, he shares his voice actor with [[Fox]] in ''Melee''.
+*Dr. Wright is the only Assist Trophy with separate English and Japanese voice actors to not have any actual dialogue, only having grunting and sighing noises.
