Brief Info:

Dr. Wright doesn't look like he is suitable enough to fight, but he is. He is full of knowledge. His I.Q. is 1000. He knows almost every kind of fighting skill. He entered the growing field of SimCity Design in the mid '80s after an unhappy career as a chemist, creating new hair coloring formulas. About this time, a group of programmers were looking for scientists to research a phenomenal new game series called SimCity. With advanced degrees in Urban Planning Computer Aided Design and Nintendo Came Counseling, Dr. Wright was the clear choice to head up the experimental team. His insightful studies into the cause and effect of SimCities and their mayors have been recognized as the benchmark in the field. Among his many finds are theories explaining why new SimCity mayors can't stop playing the series and why the SimChicken crossed the road. Dr. Wright lives with his family in a town he designed and built from environmentally safe wicker. His education is the Mario State University BA, MA, Phd, DDS, NES, Honorary Professorship of Deep Thinking. His hobbies are F-ZERO racing, Yoshi riding, and skydiving with Pilotwings. His past titles are National Traffic Coordinator, President of the Society for the Preservation of Antique Plumbing.

Special Moves:

B - Nuclear Meltdown (throws a yellow sign labeled with a radiation symbol, partly soaked with radiated ooze at the opponents, it may poison them. Dr. Wright holds the dry end of it, so he won't get poisoned).

Up+B+any direction - Tornado (similar to Fox's and Falco's Up+B move, but it doesn't charge up Dr. Wright before he attacks. It's brown, dusty, more agile, and it scatters opponents in random directions).

Down+B - Plane Crash (pulls out an airliner jet, hops on it, and falls down to the ground. While it explodes, Dr. Wright bounces off of it. This is not related to suicide bombers nor terrorist attacks, this is related to airliner accidents.).

Forward+B - Wild Fire (similar to Kirby's hammer move. While in the air, Dr. Wright does a vertical spin, swinging a burning tree branch. While standing, Dr. Wright swings the burning tree branch 180 degrees half circle).

Extreme Attack: U.F.O. Invasion (pulls out a flying saucer and flies on it while he signals for more saucers to attack his opponents with beam shooters. This disaster only appears in the Las Vegas scenario of the SNES Sim City.)

Taunt: Straightens his glasses.

Entrance: Walks out of his office door.

Will Wright said that Dr. Wright is owned by Nintendo, according to these quotes:

Is Dr. Wright from the SimCity-SNES version going to make a come back? He was very helpful.

I rather doubt it. That is a Ninetendo character so it's up to them.

I found it here.

Nice submission parrothead!

[IVIr.G]

An usual but good submission!!

[Shrikeswind]

A don't think NoA would be to thrilled with that Down-B. It's good, but due to the possibility of misconception it probably needs a change. I do like how everything's based on a disaster in SC, though, that's fun.

[Johans Nidorino]

Whoa, I had forgotten about this guy (even though this has been shown by parrothead1983 in the past). I somewhat like him. They should show him in a newer game franchise owned by Nintendo.

That controversial move might be banned if done with real-looking airplanes. They'd probably change it somehow (not because of Nintendo, but because ESRB or other rating company, like always).

This is my Christmas gift for parrothead1983 (click):

BTW, that's Oracle of Seasons (not Oracle of Ages). Are we sure he's indeed called Mr. Left in that cameo (like in The Minish Cap)? NinDB and many Zelda sites claim it, but Holodrum's map refers to his house's area as Biologist's Home. Maybe a strategy guide has the straightest answer.

[parrothead1983]

If the Plane Crash move is too much, then which of these other disasters and bad habits work best?:

Crime
Traffic Jam
Blackout (It usually occurs when a Nuclear Plant melts down)
Earthquake
Shipwreck
Flash Flood

OR

Pollution

Bowser Attack doesn't count.

Also, I appreciate your gift, nidorino.

What would they work like?

[parrothead1983]

I'm only going to do a few of them, because it's hard for me to imagine how the others would work. Here are some that were easier in my opinion:

Traffic Jam - Sends three small cars in a row at ones.
Flash Flood - Charges up a strange bucket of water, then bursts water on his opponents.
Pollution - Shoots smoke that can sometimes poison his opponents.

Here are some that are too difficult for me to imagine how they would work, but this is what they do in SimCity:

Crime - In SimCity, when you don't have enough Police Stations, many places in the SimCity you are working on will be invaded by burgulars, murderers, and other kinds of crime.

Shipwreck - When a ship runs into a draw bridge that doesn't open OR if the ship runs into too many roads at once, it will wreck.

Earthquake - When this occurs, it will vibrate everything in a large area, while destroying buildings and causing fire to occur.

Blackout - When there are few or no power plants, most or all buildings will lack power and become idle.

[Shrikeswind]

Earthquake could work like DK's Down-B. I like Pollution the most, though.

[parrothead1983]

Here is the description of Pollution: Draws a hose out and shoots small, tropical storm-shaped, smoke puffs at his opponents. Sometimes the smoke rounds will toxicate the opponents.

[Shrikeswind]

Good, I think that'd be a nice Down-B.

[Phinos]

I agree!

*bump*

Dr. Wright has been confirmed as an Assist Trophy.

=====================================================================



What? You mean THAT Dr. Wright? The one from the SNES version of SimCity? Well, I guess Super Smash Bros. Brawl is the kind of game where anyone can show up and anything can happen!


"Hold on a second! What are you guys doing here?!"

"Starting today, you’re the mayor!"

Suddenly, skyscrapers pop up out of nowhere!

Fighters are completely blown away by the skyscrapers that just shot up underneath them.

Awesome. Now THAT’S what I call city-building.

=====================================================================

Well, I was hoping for him to appear as a playable character, but this update is better than not adding Dr. Wright in SSBB at all.

[Shrikeswind]

Don't feel discouraged, though. The weekend will see why.
