Dr. Light is a character from the Mega Man series. In the Marioverse, he serves as Mario's family doctor, appearing first in the Club Nintendo comic "Super Mario: Die Verwandlung". Obviously he is highly absentminded as he persistently confuses Mario with Link. Moreover, his plan to cure Mario by doubling and then merging him fails, resulting in the creation of Wario. However, at the end of the story, it is due to him that Mario returns to his normal state. Dr. Light is assisted by Mega Man in his office.

He later appeared in the comic "Mario in Mariozilla". During the time of this story, he lives in the Empire State Building, doing research together with Link. Once again, Mario calls on him with a problem. This time, due to a bad spell of Kamek, Mario has grown to a huge size. Light's only advice is to search Kamek again, as he is the only one able to transform him back. Later in the story, the power of Kamek's broom makes him and Mario shrink to a tiny size. Yoshi swallows them, which leads Light (after a failed attempt to flip Yoshi over and shake him in order to make him spit Mario and Kamek out) to the idea that Yoshi laying an egg could bring Mario and Kamek back to light. This plan works, and Light is also the one to transform both back to their normal size, using a special magnifying glass. Nothing in this story reminds of Dr. Light's absent-minded personality in "Die Verwandlung", except that he recommends the huge Mario to pull on a "magic cap" - which in fact is only a paper bag.

Trivia

  • Apparently Dr. Light is also a plastic surgeon and worked for Link in this matter, since he talks about a plastic surgery when he misidentifies Mario in "Die Verwandlung".
