'''Mecha Ridley''' is a form of [[Ridley (specimen)|Ridley]] from ''[[Metroid: Zero Mission]]'', as well as the final boss of that game. Mecha Ridley, as the name suggests, is a heavily mechanized form of Ridley. Its body is completely covered in a durable metal of some sort that cannot be damaged by any of [[Samus Aran|Samus's]] weapons, with the exception of a weakly-shielded area on its chest, a usual weakness for Ridley. Mecha Ridley has glowing green eyes and a large contraption on its back, presumably a battery to sustain its mechanical life. Mecha Ridley is unique among the different Ridley forms, since it cannot fly due to not having wings or legs yet.

Mecha Ridley will open its mouth and launch fireballs towards the top and bottom parts of the screen. The only way to avoid this attack is by space jumping in the middle of the screen until its attack stops.

Mecha Ridley (also known as the Ridley Robot) is an incomplete robotic weapon constructed in the image of Ridley, found in the Space Pirate Mother Ship.[1] It attacks by firing rockets that can be destroyed for energy and ammunition, energy beams launched from its eyes, and fireballs. Mecha Ridley blasts the fireballs out in alternating diagonal blasts that Samus can evade with the Space Jump. It also can use its claws for melee attacks.

Mecha Ridley's weak point is a glowing area on its chest, covered by thin casing that must be shattered. The only weapons capable of damaging the vulnerability are Missiles and Super Missiles, especially when fired at a specific height. Mecha Ridley will normally keep its leading claw as well as its neck in front of the vulnerability to prevent damage, but when it slams the claw into the ground, its neck will have also moved upwards a bit and thus Samus can damage the robot.

Once Mecha Ridley is defeated, a large amount of energy will be left behind. The robot then has its eyes glow red, signalling the activation of the ship's self destruct mechanism, forcing Samus to escape.
