| ||||||||||||
Ridley is a recurring dragon-like antagonist in the Metroid series, appearing in all but three Metroid games (Metroid II: Return of Samus, Metroid Prime Hunters, and Metroid Prime 2: Echoes). He is the leader of the Space Pirates' military. Ridley appears in different forms such as his normal form and his Omega Ridley form. In Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, Samus fights his meta form and Omega form. In the official Metroid Manga, Ridley is capable of speech. Ridley's most recent appearance is to be on Metroid: Other M. Aside from main-series Metroid games, Ridley has also appeared in every Super Smash Bros. game (though two are cameos) and the Metroid Manga.
Ridley Throughout the Series
Ridley's main form is an armored and highly powerful Space Pirate leader. First appearing in the original Metroid, he was the second guardian to Tourian. Much like Kraid, he is found in his own hideout. The battle is relatively simple and, with good positioning, Samus can defeat him without taking any damage. After he is defeated, the path to Tourian and Mother Brain opens up.
In Super Metroid, Ridley appears much larger than his past form and has many more attacks. In the beginning of the game, he kills the scientists of the Ceres Space Colony and, after a brief duel with Samus, captures the Metroid Hatchling. Much later, Samus encounters him again in the depths of Norfair. He is the fourth and final boss needed to open the path to Tourian. Expecting to locate the Infant Metroid, Samus finds all but the creature's broken stasis chamber and an Energy Tank.
Ridley also makes an appearance in Metroid: Zero Mission, larger than how he was in the original game. Ridley's skin color is brown in this game, but changes as he takes damage. His attacks are similar to his attacks in Super Metroid.
Ridley's Life-Cycle
Ridley's life-cycle consists of at least 4 stages, it is currently unknown if Ridley's life-cycle proceeds any further than that.
Stage 1: The first form of Ridley's life-cycle is a rather docile plant eater. It is white and furry with rather bird-like legs, bat-like face and ears, and a small beak-shaped mouth.
Stage 2: The second stage of Ridley's life-cycle is very similiar to the first one. The creature has begun to become aggressive and has developed a carnivorous diet. The creatures beak-like mouth has also gotten larger.
Stage 3: The third of Ridley's life-cycle has dramatically changed from it's previous stages:
- It has grown to be at least 4-5 times its previous size.
- It has begun to shed its fur and grow scales.
- Its beak has become even more pronounced.
- Its tail has grown to at lest 6 feet and now sports a blade at the tip.
- Its eyes have become reptilian in nature.
- It has become quadrupedal and sports claws.
Stage 4: The forth, and most likely final, stage of Ridley's life-cycle, the Ridley we all know and hate today.
Super Smash Bros. Brawl
In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Ridley appears as a boss along with Meta Ridley. Like other bosses, Ridley can be fought in the Subspace Emissary and in Boss Battles.
Ridley's Alternate Forms
Mecha Ridley
- Main article: Mecha Ridley
Mecha Ridley is a mechanized embodiment of Ridley. It is the final boss of Metroid: Zero Mission and appears in the Space Pirate Mother Ship. Mecha Ridley is a robot designed by Ridley, but is fought at an incomplete stage, lacking wings and legs. [1] Mecha Ridley's destruction prompts a self-destruct sequence of the Space Pirate Mother Ship.
Meta Ridley
- Main article: Meta Ridley
In Metroid Prime, Meta Ridley appears right as Samus is going to place the Chozo Artifacts at the Artifact Temple. He destroys the main entrance to the Impact Crater and engages Samus in a battle. She must defeat Ridley in order to gain access to the Impact Crater and Metroid Prime.
In Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, Meta Ridley makes a very brief entrance to the battle at Norion after a Galactic Federation Marine exclaims "What the heck is that?" He next appears when Samus is rolling through a maze of tubes in Morph Ball mode. He attempts to kill her by firing lasers but is unsuccessful. He finally appears in an actual boss fight after Samus activates Generator C in Norion to enable the Planetary Defense System. He was hiding at the top of the generator and knocked Samus and himself down the shaft under it. His weak spots are his chest and hands. After dealing sufficient damage to Ridley, Samus escapes the shaft with the assistance of Rundas.
Omega Ridley
- Main article: Omega Ridley
Omega Ridley appears in Metroid Prime 3: Corruption in the Space Pirate Homeworld to protect the Leviathan. Omega Ridley took another form change after he, as Meta Ridley, was defeated on Norion. Once Omega Ridley is defeated, Samus obtains the Hyper Grapple and she is free to overload the Leviathan core to destroy the Leviathan itself. Although Omega Ridley was killed and seemed damaged beyond repair, Ridley appears in Super Metroid, despite being chronologically after the events of Metroid Prime 3: Corruption.
Ridley X
- Main article: Ridley-X
Ridley X is the X-form of Ridley, appearing in Metroid Fusion. It is created after an X Parasite absorbs abilities from Ridley's carcass. His attacks range from shooting fireballs to hitting Samus with his tail. Strangely, Ridley X's voice clips were carried over to Metroid: Zero Mission.
Trophy Info
Super Smash Bros. Brawl
- Ridley:
- The leader of the Space Pirates. He looks like a pterosaur but has high intelligence and a brutal nature. He plans to steal the baby Metroid from Samus for his own use. Ridley utilizes wings for a full range of flight and attacks with fireballs from his mouth and whips of his tail. As the culprit behind the murder of Samus's parents, the connections with Samus run deep.
