Character Description[]
Sheriff is a character with a particularly long history. He is the first Nintendo character, created by Shigeru Miyamoto; a middle-aged country sheriff, an is considered a classic Nintendo character. Sheriff starred in the 1979 Arcade game Sheriff where he chased the outlaws that had kidnapped his girlfriend, but ended up being cornered in the desert. The outlaws moved in a square around the sheriff while shooting at him. After defeating them, he would
get reunited with his girlfriend. After his appearance in Sheriff and Sheriff 2, Sheriff was forgotten, until his cameos appearances in recent Wario games. After 32 years since his playable appearance, Sheriff reappears in a videogame as a playable character.
Attributes[]
Sheriff is not much of a fighter. He is a medium to heavyweight, much like Link. He has slow ground speed but his attacks are somewhat quick. Some of them are rather weak, but some of them can be very deadly. He has a lot of projectiles in his moveset, each one with a different mechanic. Sheriff uses his two pistols in most of his attacks. For his Special Moves, he also uses a Lasso, which helps him recover more easily, and dynamites, which have a very similar function to Diddy Kong's Banana Peel. Sheriff also uses physical attacks in his tilts and Smash attacks. He is a balanced fighter, as his attacks are fairly powerful in terms of damage and knockback.
Sheriff has also received a drastic redesign since his appearance back in 1979. He is now fully rendered in 3D. His head it extremely large, to the point where he seems to be a caricature. He has a large, unshaven chin, very small eyes with large eyebrows and a large, brown hat. He wears an open, brown cowboy jacket with a white shirt and a metal badge. He wears large, bulky boots and carries a pistol in his hand, another one in his pocket.
