Meta Ridley is a transformed version of the dragon-like alien creature, Ridley from the Metroid series. He first appeared in Metroid Prime where he was upgraded from Ridley by the Space Pirates. In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Meta Ridley is fought as a boss a few levels after Ridley is defeated.

Role in the Subspace Emissary
In the Subspace Emissary, Meta Ridley appears in one of the later levels, after Ridley has been defeated, and he attacks Captain Falcon, Captain Olimar, R.O.B., Diddy Kong and Donkey Kong as they try to escape the floating island before it is engulfed in subspace.

As this battle is fought while trying to escape an island, there is a set amount of time that the player has to defeat Meta Ridley, who is more difficult to beat than Ridley was. Additionally there is the added difficulty that the battle is taking place on top of Captain Falcon's ship, the Falcon Flyer, so it is possible for the player to fall off the edge and lose. Meta Ridley boasts some of the same attacks as Ridley did, such as scraping his tail across the top of the Flyer and firing fireballs, however he has many new attacks that involve grabbing the Falcon Flyer and lowering it down with his weight, sometimes even lowering it off of the screen.

If the player manages to defeat Meta Ridley, a cutscene is shown and the Falcon Flyer escapes while the island is engulfed into subspace.

Meta Ridley appears again in The Great Maze where he is battled again in one of the rooms. The time limit is still there and he uses the same attacks as before.

Brawl
=Ridley=

Ridley is a dragon-like alien that is one of the main villains in the Metroid series of video games. He is responsible for the murder of Samus Aran's parents. In Super Smash Bros., Ridley can occasionally be seen flying in the background of the Planet Zebes arena.

Ridley also makes a brief appearance in the opening cinematic of Super Smash Bros. Melee, where he can be seen battling his archenemy, Samus Aran. A trophy of Ridley can also be obtained in Super Smash Bros. Melee.

In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Ridley is a boss fought a total of two times in the subspace emissary; once on the floating Isle of the Ancients, by Samus and Pikachu, and once again in The Great Maze; by any characters that have been rescued.

Remixes of Ridley's theme music from various Metroid games can be optionally played in the Frigate Orpheon stage in Super Smash Bros. Brawl.

Role in the Subspace Emissary
In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Ridley is fought four times in the Subspace Emissary. The first time, he is fought in his normal form by Samus and Pikachu. As the two reach the exit to the facility that contained Samus's Power Suit, Ridley appears without warning and snatches up Samus. Roaring, he slams her into a wall and drags her along it. Pikachu comes to Samus's rescue, hitting the space dragon with a well-placed Thunder attack. The battle begins after this. Ridley fights similarly to Master Hand, using many brutal physical attacks. When he is defeated, he falls off the arena.

Trivia
