Wario's Sheriff

Wario's Sheriff is a bonus mini-game from WarioWare, Inc.: Minigame Mania. It is based on the old arcade game Sheriff, but in this version the main character has been changed to resemble Wario, much like in Dr. Wario.

Aside from that, the gameplay is just like in the original: the player moves around in a square rectangular area with enemies circling around. The goal is to shoot the enemies while avoiding their shots. Sometimes, an enemy will leave the outside area and enter the player's area. The level repeats over and over each time all the enemies are defeated.

Trivia

• The game opens with the original sheriff walking across the screen before he is quickly chased off by Wario (on an identical horse). Wario then proceeds to resume the original opening's slow trot until the player starts the game.
• According to the Mario vs. Wario comic, when Wario and Mario were friends as children, Wario was always "forced" to be the outlaw while Mario always got to be the sheriff.
