- Sheriff is a game with a particularly long history, even among other classic Nintendo arcade games. You aimed the sheriff's gun by way of an eight-directional dial controller, which you would depress to fire. The goal of this frontier shooter was to protect the territory from various scoundrels and ne'er-do-wells.

Trivia[edit]
- Sheriff is the first universe in the series to skip an installment, as it was represented in Super Smash Bros. Melee, had no representation whatsoever in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, and received representation again in Super Smash Bros. 4.
- Erroneously, the Sheriff trophy in Melee incorrectly says that the game was released only in Japan, though it was also released in Europe and the United States (under the name Bandido and with the credit for development falsely attributed to publisher Exidy, as was the standard in the industry at the time, in the latter case).
- Sheriff is one of the only three properties represented in Smash to debut in the 1970s, the others being Color TV-Game and Galaxian.
