[@devildarlin1364]

They just can't keep him down. I wouldn't be surprised if they managed to come up with the simplest explanations for the REAL Ridley to have made some sort of comeback. Whether it's saying Ridley hightailed it off of Zebes while Samus was dealing with Mother Brain, or saying that even the planet's explosion couldn't kill him, only lethally injuring to the point it took the span of a few games for him to recover or that they pulled an Adam Malkovich, and downloaded his brain/consciousness into a computer. Maybe into that Robot Ridley he made in Fusion and became the new Mother Brain for a bit.

[@Mauricio24271]

Devil Darlin' no one remembers that Ridley was cryogenized in the BSL station in Fusion, and spolier alert That station impacts SR388 so I don't that Ridley could survived that explosion

[@devildarlin1364]

You do realize the Ridley in Fusion is already dead, right? It had it's life force sucked out of it by the Queen Metroid in Other M. You're not actually fighting Ridley in Fusion. You're fighting the X-Parasite possessing his clone's dead body. The time the _real_ Ridley supposedly dies is in Super Metroid, when Zebes explodes.

[@thewanderingcalamity9279]

HAVE RIDLEY CRAWL BACK FROM THE VERY DEPTHS OF HELL LIKE THE IMMORTAL DEATH GOD HE IS! THE CUNNING GOD OF DEATH RISES COATED IN FLAMES FROM THE PIT! (lol jk, maybe an alternate dimension Ridley world work, or retcon the frozen one on the station be a clone like all the Metroids were. The federation does have many cloning experiments, so another Ridley is not out of the picture, or even the original being resurrected.)

[@toamatoro570]

What's funny is that when Bowser dies horrifically in a pool of lava or a black hole no one really questions how he comes back. Yet with Ridley the developers always have some sort of reason or explanation for it, no matter how insane it may be. I heard something like this on a Metroid analysis video and they hit it right on the nose.

So true actually. I mean Ridley and his theme are My favourite Antagonist Character/Theme from Nintendo. His Design is Unique and Threatining but not to Absurd or to weird by Still beeing Weird enough in a Certaint Way. To his Theme, funny thing: I dont like the Prime Series as Much, but the first time i saw and Fought Ridley was in Prime and the Theme and his Design in Combination of beeing the First True fight that i actually find super interesting except of beeing ok as the other fights , has gotten me to play The 2D Game and then i come in love with this Purple and Sadistic Space-Pteradactyl-Pirate-Dragon!!!

[@ArcienPlaysGames]

One good thing that came out of Other M was that masterful version of Ridley's theme (specifically 25:27 of course). So much hype

[@nicholaslienandjaja1815]

Another good thing: Ridley’s life cycle is shown, showing hints at his species’ biology (turns out, he has a larval stage, Little Birdie is basically the Space Dragon’s equivalent of a tadpole or a caterpillar). My guess is that Space Dragons (what I call Ridley’s species) send their offspring to different planets so that they can devour its native inhabitants. And Little Birdies can manipulate said inhabitants into thinking that they are friendly, harmless creatures (by fooling them into believing that they are pets or cute allies as a form of brood parasitism).

[@jimazo]

@@nicholaslienandjaja1815 The Ridley life cycle is such a blessing. I'm glad that they decided baby Ridley should be a fluffy little freak

[@Vaisin]

Ridley is an amazing villain, and most people don't realize how psychopathic he is. He just loves being mean-spirited and evil. The Metroid manga shows him toying remorselessly with a young Samus Aran and, well, he murdered and ate both of Samus' parents when she was a 3-year old girl.

[@toamatoro570]

Weirdly enough, in that same manga when Ridley first encounters Samus he actually gives sort of a sad expression as though he doesn't initially want to kill a little girl. That was so strange, as Ridley always comes off as having no conscience except for that one brief moment. It's kind of deep.

i adore what they did with ridley in samus returns musically as it feels like a great final battle with him and a culmination of past fights phase 1: its composition is heavily based on super and prime 1 its sound resembles mecha from zero mission and has some slight cues from other m. phase 2: fully embraces the prime 1 rendition in sound and composition phase 3: tempo and main composition now resembles fusion but still has prime 1 phrases in it too.

Technically, it wasn't his battle theme until Fusion. Before it was just the theme used for the area you find him in and then it was just a theme used for more bossfights than just him, as well as the escape sequence.

[@Animeman284]

True, but it was probably super popular at the time Super Metroid came out since it has a sense of how powerful the enemy is and how desperate Samus was to get back to her ship before the station at beginning of the game and then Zebes exploded.

[@aidensavickas9227]

That and the fact Ridley was a fricking space dragon and wax probably the most diverse of all the bosses by which I mean least expected and when we found out he is the leader of a crew of space pirates and single-handedly raised Seamus when they pillaged her planet and killed her parents, that adds a whole level of psychotic trauma that would take years of psychology to cure which is one of the reasons Seamus hates Ridley so much. In fact if it wasn’t for Ridley this series wouldn’t exist the way it does to this very day, so we all owe Ridley a thanks for making this series the hit it is today.

Interesting how the Ridley theme we know and love wasn't really a thing until Super Metroid; normally, iconic boss fight tracks like that are established in the very *first* game in the franchise, like Nightmare, the Vs Dracula phase 1 boss fight track in Castlevania.

[@e-lrd6904]

or like dedede's theme

[@gavadar8497]

What's even more interesting is that it wasn't even really his theme in Super Metroid - it was just one of the generic boss themes for the game. It also plays during the fight against Draygon, and it even plays during both escape sequences. The fact that you fight Ridley twice (if you count the very beginning at Ceres Station) probably helped people associate the theme with Ridley more than anything else (along with the fact that he's a more iconic boss than Draygon), but it's neat how it didn't really get fully cemented as "Ridley's theme" until Fusion and Prime a few years later.

@@gavadar8497 Worth noting that this theme was also used in the final escape sequence in Fusion. I think it really does suit Ridley, but also has the right amount of high tension for a good impending explosion. :)

And looking always the Same is kinda Boring, so they made a lot of Designs like Ganondorf in the Legend of Zelda looks always Similar but Different enogh to be fresh and new.

[@thewanderingcalamity9279]

i wish they did that with Bowser, becoming giant or possessed is only interesting the first few times, give him more power ups. While i disliked the Meowser fight, the character design was at least good. Imagine Metal Bowser, Ice Bowser. Even a Bowser on a generic fire flower would be interesting, he could light himself on fire and manipulate the fire he creates. Call it Hellfire Koopa or something less tacky. I like (good) redesigns.

I'll say this much, Other M's version of this theme is probably the best one BUT Super's version will always have a special place in my heart as it is the first version I ever heard since I played Super as a kid. Sure in Super it was just a generic theme for some of the bosses but it was cemented as Ridley's theme in Fusion and quite honestly it fits him pretty well.

I hardly believe that thay can actually bring back the original and true Ridley back to appear on Dread, not even as a boss (maybe an extra and optional boss battle out of the main campaing), because [SPOILER Alert]: . . . . . . . . The real one seemly died on Super Metroid and its remains perished with planet Zebes destruction, later on Other M, it was somehow cloned thin Bottle ship, beaten by Samus and had his lifestream fully sucked-up by a cloned Queen Metroid (also lately beaten by Samus) and bottle ship got destroyed, his clone's remains reappeared on another Federation's BSL (a large research facility located on SR388's orbit) on Metroid Fusion, kept on a cryogenic chamber to stay still (probably for further analysis and another attempt of cloning him as a bio-weapon under their control), but inevitably got used and discarded by X ( whom mimicked him), and got beaten by Samus, BSL eventually got its flight coordinates reset to reach down SR388 annihilating both the station and the planet with its threats within. So, unless Federation bring another Ridley's clone out of nowhere, I can only think of the real Ridley reappears only on flashbacks.

[@John-uy6ks]

Other m definitely has the best theme

[@SackSquid]

Metrid blast is the best one so far

[@shonw2318]

nintendo land's Ridley theme is majorly slept on

[@NinAmuro57]

Zero Mission (both themes) and Brawl are the best imo

[@hogcycle4413]

I can except that

8:55 best one yet GameCube Metroid Prime

[@goldenhydreigon4727]

6:03) I'm not used to this without the earrape Ridley scream of the GBA

[@marcogonzalez9673]

I wish that zero mission's Ridley theme would be a combination of his Iconic theme and his first appearance theme.

[@ThePerfectCell]

The three foes who just refuse to die: Bowser, Ganondorf, and Ridley.

[@internettraveler8666]

ridley died permanently in super metroid the one in other m was a clone and the one in fusion was his frozen corpse infected by the x

[@K.A.Zillagoji]

The Mario seires is family-friendly, Ganondwarf is a curse, and Ridley just won't stay Dead.

[@kirbaran2039]

Fun fact: NEStroid is the only game where Ridley doesn't have a theme, all bosses use the same theme of MB

[@mapplehitoritheartist9114]

i dont know you all but i belive that even when the music debuted in super metroid, the game that make it sinonimous with Ridley was Metroid Prime, with Fusion being just the "other" confirmation for it, sincee both games came out like almost the same time...

[@EDhogg25]

3rd one sounds like a Pokemon battle.

[@Mauricio24271]

That's because is my favorite one

[@toamatoro570]

Samus used kill! It's not very effective...

[@952shadowman]

I feel like MP2 should have had Ridley, like a Phazon Ridley that Dark Samus uses as a companion to fight with him.

[@user-bk9fk2tq2z]

Ridley is badass All hail the Space General

[@schippe_kies9804]

Metroid Fusion - This Game Was Insane!

[@samlight1678]

I think the best one was the metroid theme.

[@unknownartist7204]

So everyone, which version is your favorite? I'm gonna say Omega Ridley's. Sounds good in the rain for some reason 😅

[@theinmortal6]

Other M's. I know the game is disliked by the fanbase (I haven't played it and I'm almost sure I won't like it either), but damn, that version is a blast.

[@lightbrand_]

Pablo García yeah, same, also Metroid Blast coming in close second, didn't play it either tho...

[@LastKingLKArthur]

Meta Ridley from prime 1 and 3

[@LastKingLKArthur]

But Omega Ridleys theme is good too

[@anigodzapex9384]

Rushin / SunDiegoRussia I like every Theme, except the first or classic, because that wasn't the set Ridley theme at the time where they didn't no about further titles ! I like Meta ridleys and Protheus Ridleys from Stage 2. The most.

[@dukelugamo2409]

The best on my opinion: 3:00

[@joshuagamboaii741]

You forgot the Super Smash Bros Ultimate one as well. Where we have to unlock Ridley as a playable fighter.

[@ExtremeAce]

This video was made before Ultimate came out

[@mikeyi3189]

I LIKE ALL RIDLEY CHARACTER :)

[@The_Soupiest_Spoon_7543]

Still waiting for the Metroid FPS
