'''Doctor Albert W.

He is a mad scientist planning to rule over Mario's city. In order to achieve this goal, he masquerades as a mailman and delivers Mario an [[Alarm Clock (item)|Alarm Clock]]. Thinking that it is donated to him by a fan, Mario tries it out. It turns out, however, that in fact it is a time machine, taking him to various ages, past and future. In the meantime, Dr. Wily manipulates the citizens of the town, amongst others [[Yoshi]] and Mario's neighbour Miss Steinbrunnen. Wily even makes [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]] work for him. He has a fortress with an unknown location which Mario manages to enter. When detected by Toadstool, however, Dr. Wily ties him to a machine, seemingly in order to manipulate him as well. As it turns out, the story was only a nightmare of Mario's.

Dr. Wily appears in the ''[[Club Nintendo (German magazine)|Club Nintendo]]'' comic, "[[Super Mario: Verloren in der Zeit]]". He appears as a mad scientist planning to take over [[Mario]]'s city. In order to achieve this goal, he masquerades as a mailman and delivers Mario an [[Wecker|alarm clock]]. Thinking that it was a donation from a fan, Mario tries it out, and discovers that it is actually a time machine, taking him to various ages in the past and future. In the meantime, Dr. Wily brainwashes the citizens of the town, including [[Yoshi]], Mario's neighbour Miss Steinbrunnen, and even [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]]. Mario manages to return to the present and infiltrate his fortress, only to be caught by the evil Toadstool. Dr. Wily then has him tied to a machine, and is just about to brainwash him as well when Mario wakes up in his own bed, revealing the events to be one of his nightmares.

Dr. Wily in his '''Wily Capsule''' appears as an [[Assist Trophy]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. The Wily Capsule is Dr. Wily's personal escape pod, and usually his last-ditch form of attack in his battles against Mega Man. The model seen in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'' comes from ''{{wp|Mega Man 7}}''. When summoned, Dr. Wily will fire red and blue energy balls from the capsule, which will home in on the nearest fighter. If he is defeated, he will fall to the ground and enter his supplication pose. Both Dr. Wily and the Wily Capsule also appear as [[Spirit (Super Smash Bros. Ultimate)|spirit]]s.
