Ridley



Ridley is a large, dragon-like alien and a character and one of the main villains in the Metroid series of games. 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. Remixes of Ridley's theme music from various Metroid series games have been confirmed as being used for the Frigate Orpheon stage in Super Smash Bros. Brawl.

In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Ridley is fought twice in the Subspace Emissary: once in his normal form, fought by Samus and Pikachu, and later on as a cybernetically enhanced form known as Meta Ridley, fought as Samus and Pikachu once again, but now with the additions of Captain Falcon, Captain Olimar, R.O.B., Diddy Kong, and Donkey Kong. This time, he is fought atop Captain Falcon's ship as it speeds through a tunnel.

Trophy Description
''The head of the Space Pirates on Zebes, Ridley soars through space on wicked wings. Ridley may look like a mindless monster, but he's actually quite intelligent. After the SR-388 incident, where Samus captured the infant Metroid, Ridley took the Space Academy by storm, annihilating the complex and taking the Metroid back.''
