@@milesmonaco2625 what do you mean

[@nipcoyote1140]

Allow me to explain Ridley's life and how he kept coming back: Metroid NES/Zero Mission: Ridley is taken out by Samus Metroid Prime: Ridley's body is recovered and revived with a cybernetic body, robocop style. He is defeated but not killed, just severely wounded. Metroid Prime 3: Ridley is back with a new, Phazon infused body (Dark Samus gets her power from phazon). He still suffers the chest wound from Prime 1, which is his downfall, and is killed. Metroid Samus Returns: Taking place much later, Ridley's scientists have almost perfected their technique in reviving him, and he returns with relatively few cybernetic parts. He is defeated, but escapes before he can be killed. Super Metroid: Ridley has completely recovered. He is killed by Samus and any and all traces of him are annihilated by the destruction of planet Zebes. This is Ridley's true and final death. Other M: This is just a clone of Ridley that the Galactic Federation secretely made from cell tissue that got on Samus's suit during her battle with him. It gets killed by the Queen Metroid. Metroid Fusion: Ridley's Clone's body is kept in cold storage and infected by X-parasites, making a sort of "zombie ridley". Samus kills it.

[@spectral5939]

So basically; Ridley keeps getting resurrected and/or enhanced by someone or something just for Samus to kill him again and again. What's Mecha Ridley then?

[@chrischan3066]

Spectral a robot, an actual robot built to look like him

[@OneWhoKnowsThings6009]

Ridley actually never died.. hes brought to the brink.. but no he never dies..and judging by ridley is here in smash as a playable i can see him coming back again after fusion and this time samus is hunted by the federation.. i wonder how shes going to take it that there destiny is far more intertwined then you think.. in the end i think that the two will be given a chance to undo the bad and corrupted.. thats my theory

[@karpsiclemerp2639]

But what about pinball Ridley?

[@sofielundsskolan]

If Ridley's remains are unrecoverable after the explosion in Super Metroid, why is this not the case after the explosion in the original Metroid? It's not like the planet got eradicated in Super Metroid, it's still there in Fusion.

The battle in Super Metroid is very stressful, because both he and Samus are tanks and can take a lot of damage. He makes sure every single super missel counts. MetaRiddley is a close second.

But he also a SPACE PIRATE!!! As in he has his own Pirate Crew, In space! PLUS, Claims he can eat the flesh of humans to regrow cells, Which means he has regeneration!!! ALSO, Ridley has died before, but he has been resurrected into MANY forms of himself! First it is the original Ridley that Samus has to fight. than afterwards in another game you meet Robot Ridley! Than after that, he returns again as Cyborg Meta Ridley. Than he gets ressurected by Dark Samus and currupted by The phason, THAN afterwards, returns INTO Omega Ridley!!! Oh yeah, There is also a clone of Ridley too made within the Galactic Federation called the "Ring Leaders"!! So yeah, I really Love Ridley and how badass this wicked character is.

[@dominon929]

Ridley is one aggressive flying beast. Any version of him will stop at nothing to get in Samus’ way for a death battle. He looked totally different in the first Metroid which was like a rough draft. Ridley and Samus resemble with the Xenomorph alien vs Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) in Alien. Alien was no doubt an inspiration to the makers of the Metroid games by having a dark and sinister tone, a sci-fi theme, a female protagonist, and a monster named after director Ridley Scott that looked somewhat similar to the Xenomorph alien. Then of course the metroids were like the face huggers.

Had no idea who Ridley was first time I played Super Metroid. Thought he was terrifying for sure

[@hansblankenburg7814]

It's hard to top Ridley as a boss. He's a xenomorph dragon... with Godzilla's atomic breath and King Ghidorah's roar

[@FloridusMan]

Ridley used to be so tiny in his debut, good decision in playable Ridley being based on his debut appearance

[@michaeljpa2975]

Ridley also appeared in Dead or Alive Dimensions from 3ds in a metroid stage

[@GGjeri]

6:37 to 6:38 It’s a blink and you’ll miss it moment, but that is detail and love that RetroStudios put in. How many games even today have that feature? Most recent game that I can recall is DOOM: Eternal and that game just finished coming out! RetroStudios was WAY ahead of their time. I can’t wait to see what they’ll do when Metroid Prime 4 comes out!

[@ChannelMiner]

How is Ridley in the start of Super Metroid if he dies at the end of Samus Returns? That means he was dead for like 5 minutes.

[@alexinabox6931]

Yup

[@ultraspinalki11]

That's one of the few bad things about Samus Returns. In the original gameboy game, Ridley was absent, giving the impression that the Pirates were gone for good and thus justifying Samus' decision to give the last Metroid to the Federation. However, someone decided to add Ridley in the remake for "coolness" without thinking how it'd impact the lore. Not only is it now weird for Samus to leave his body on the ground instead of trying to obliterate it (when she knows VERY WELL how he has a tendency to come back), but it also turns her into an idiot for giving the Metroid to the Federation AFTER JUST FINDING PROOF that the Pirates are back in action!

[@ChannelMiner]

@@ultraspinalki11 That dies ruin a lot but it is very, very cool at least.

[@giancarlocaballero7684]

It wasn't added for coolness, it was added to connect the Prime games, which occur after Metroid 1 but before 2, to the main series in the timeline.

[@ChawedMirthPrattEnterprise]

ridley had already been revived after zero mission/the original metroid, yet youre complaining about how ridley still showed up even after he was defeated. the ends people will go to just to shit on samus returns

One might argue that adding the fight at all was a mistake story-wise, but it really is an epic fight. Generally, I have very few complaints about the game.

Find it fitting that the last time Samus chronologically fights Ridley, ends with her getting the ability to do bright somersaults. It's almost like she is celebrating that he is finally dead.
