Ridley is an area featured in Metroid (known as Mini-Boss Hideout II), Metroid: Zero Mission, and Super Metroid as a part of the planet Zebes. It is named after the space dragon Ridley. It is in the lower part of Norfair and is deep below the surface of Zebes.

Unlike the original Metroid, in Metroid: Zero Mission the entrance to this area is blocked by an ensnared Imago that must be defeated before she may access this area. In Super Metroid, Samus must have both the Space Jump and the Gravity Suit to reach this area as it is blocked by a deep pool of lava.

Lava is common in this area in Metroid and Metroid: Zero Mission, while it is filled with a powerful acid capable of damaging Samus even with the Gravity Suit equipped. Most rooms may be accessed without the Varia Suit equipped in Zero Mission, unlike Super Metroid where Samus will take damage in most rooms if both the Varia Suit and Gravity Suit (the Gravity Suit maintains the Varia Suit’s shielding against extreme temperatures) are deactivated.
