Reception
Ridley has received a positive critical response from fans and video game publications. Nintendo Power ranked Ridley at #6 on their list of favorite Nintendo villains.[2] Jesse Schedeen of IGN called Ridley the real villain of the Metroid series, saying that they would have to include him in a Metroid movie because he would be too important to leave out.[3]
Ridley has also appeared in the Super Smash Bros. series as a boss in Brawl's Subspace Emissary mode and as a boss on the Pyrosphere stage in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U. He can help the player who damages him enough on the Pyrosphere stage.[4]
