Sheriff

The sheriff is the protagonist and titular character of the arcade game, Sheriff. He is modeled after a typical Western sheriff, and in his game, goes after a group of bandits that have kidnapped a damsel in distress. In every subsequent appearance, the sheriff has always been portrayed with his classic sprite, though his color alternates between yellow and white.

Super Smash Bros. Melee
In Super Smash Bros. Melee, the sheriff appears in a collectible trophy, though bandits also appear alongside him and the trophy focuses more on his game and not the character. The listed first game also says that Sheriff was Japan-exclusive, even though it was exported to Europe and American regions.

Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U


The sheriff appears as an Assist Trophy in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U. He was first announced in a Miiverse post by Masahiro Sakurai.

When spawned, the sheriff walks around the screen and shoots bullets towards other enemies (though he sometimes fires in a haphazard direction), emulating his attacks from Sheriff. If enough damage is dealt to him, he displays his "injured" sprite from Sheriff before disappearing; otherwise, he disappears after enough time has passed.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, the Sheriff reappears as an Assist Trophy, retaining his role. He is also featured as a legend support spirit.
