Professor Hershel Layton (エルシャール・レイトン教授, Professor Hershel Layton), or simply Professor Layton, is an archaeology professor at the fictional Gressenheller University in London.

In Super Smash Bros. Dream

Originally, Professor Layton was considered to be a playable character, and out of all the game designers working on SSBD, only one knew the Professor Layton series best. Unfortunately, due to a lack of ideas for special moves, Layton had to be scrapped. The game designer in question, however, did not want the Professor Layton series to go unrepresented in SSBD, so he decided to make Monte d'Or a stage instead.

As a Mii Costume

In spite of being cut from the SSBD roster, Professor Layton appears as a Mii costume for the Mii_Swordfighter.

As a trophy

Professor Layton also appears as a collectible trophy in SSBD.

Professor Layton

A professor of archaeology, and a fan of puzzles. Professor Layton has gone on countless adventures around the world with his apprentice, Luke Triton, and has solved all the world's puzzles and mysteries, such as the mystery of the miracles of Monte d'Or, to the wonders of eternal life, to the secret of the ancient Azran people. And yet, he always seems to have time for a cup of tea.
