'''Dr. Topper''' (who likes to be called '''Dr. T''') is a green [[Hammer Bro.]] and a quizmaster who resides in [[Bowser's Keep]]. During the events of ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'', [[Smithy]]'s troops occupied the [[Bowser|Koopa King's]] castle. Like many other members of the [[Koopa Troop]], Dr. Topper switched allegiances (by his own free will or through brainwashing) and joined the [[Smithy Gang]], instead of fighting the extraterrestrial forces. As such, the quiz-master was assigned to hide behind two of the six red doors in Bowser's Keep. Two of the six doors led to platform stages, two doors led to battle stages, and two doors led to puzzle stages. Dr. Topper was in charge of the puzzle stages. If someone could not figure out his tricky puzzles, he or she could not progress through Bowser's Keep.
