[edit] Role in The Subspace Emissary
After R.O.B., Diddy Kong, Donkey Kong, Captain Falcon, Pikachu, Samus,and Captain Olimar make their way out of the doomed Bomb Factory flying away in the Falcon Flyer, they are attacked from behind by the resurrected Meta Ridley.
Meta Ridley's attacks can additionally send the Falcon Flyer reeling about. In this battle, he is attacking the ship as well and you have 2 minutes to beat him. He has completely different moves from Ridley and you have to jump whenever he hits the ship or you could fall. He is later defeated when he is burnt by the Falcon Flyer's engines and the massive amounts of Subspace Bombs explode, covering the island in Subspace, taking everything in it, including the charred remains of Meta Ridley, into the Subspace. Tabuu, the leader of Subspace, revives Meta Ridley in The Great Maze to attack the heroes, but is defeated like last time, presumably leaving him out of the picture for good.
[edit] Meta Ridley's Attacks
- Meta Ridley flies off the screen to the left, then attacks the Falcon Flyer, making it shake.
- Meta Ridley roars, and then sweeps low to attack.
- Meta Ridley flies off the screen to the left, then sweeps low with his tail.
- Meta Ridley flies off the screen to the left, roars, and then shoots multiple fireballs. The fireballs can be reflected easily.
- Meta Ridley grabs the back of the Falcon Flyer and tries to drag it down, while shooting large fireballs. A strong attack will shake him off. The flames from the engine also do a little damage to him.
- Meta Ridley jumps and lands on the Falcon Flyer,causing it to move off the bottom of the screen. You must jump when he uses this or you will be K.O.'d off the bottom.
-Meta Ridley flies to the middle of the ship and fires a single fireball. This is the best time to hit Meta Ridley with a trophy Stand.
[edit] Trophy Info
The meta form of Ridley, revived using the Space Pirates' genetic engineering and cybernetic technologies. His thin chest plate--and weak point--is protected by a highly resistant membrane. Meta Ridley is highly mobile and features a multimissile system, a bomb launcher, and powerful wings. Ice attacks are particularly effective in dealing damage to him.
- Metroid Prime (2002)
[edit] Notes
- Meta Ridley is considered to be really difficult to turn into a trophy, mostly because of the time constraints during the fight, the difficulty of reaching to Meta Ridley, and the setting of the stage that when Meta Ridley turns into a trophy, the trophy will fall relatively fast that would require a fast faller to grab the trophy. However, if he goes for a fireball attack or an attack that causes him to go over the Falcon Flyer, then throw the stand up at him. The trophy will then land on the blue booster covering and time doesn't slow, like the other bosses when defeated.
- There is no time limit for fighting Meta Ridley in Boss Battles mode and in the Great Maze (Neither produce Trophy Stands during these fights).
