Really glad they made that call. This is easily one of my favorite boss fights in the series. You just have this large, open space with a sick stormy backdrop. Then on one side you have Ridley who can both fly and has a far more fleshed out moveset than before, and then there's you with the space jump and every other power up the game has to offer. So if you wanna take the fight to the skies or brawl on the ground without restraint, you can. And it's so, so sick.
I think Ridley's inclusion is brilliant for newcomers to the series. In the span of one boss fight and without a single word spoken, you learn everything you need to know about Ridley and his relationship with Samus, no other games or extra lore necessary.
not to mention it actually patches up a few minor holes in the plot, such as sealing the prime trilogy to be between 1 and 2, giving context for how he came back in Super and how he was able to make it to Ceres so quickly after Samus and how the space pirates knew that Ceres held the last metroid, as well as slightly setting up Fusion with the post-ending cutscene with the X.
It actually makes sense that Ridley would go to SR388 himself. While all this was going on, the Zebesian Armada was rebuilding its base, and Mother Brain likely tasked him with retrieving another Metroid Larva. Plus, he's pretty much the only one who has a chance of actually surviving a Metroid attack.
This is probably the most intense ridley theme by far, and i absolutely love every second of it. It sounds absolutely enraged. No wonder he immediatly went for the station to kill everyone and take the baby metroid.
It gives context to why he doesn’t really seriously fight Samus in the intro, leaves Samus barely alive rather than killing her if her health gets too low, and just dangles the Baby there in front of Samus rather than immediately escaping. He just wants to torment Samus and knows that she wants to protect the baby metroid; he’s taunting her and taking sadistic pleasure in it.
Samus. Ridley. The Infant Metroid. An open arena. Green stormy background. Brawl on the ground or prefer the air, its up to you. This fight is fucking epic, and nobody ain't telling me otherwise.
Samus, spamming the shoot button: WHY. WON'T. YOU. DIE!? Ridley: Honey, have I ever died before? Samus: Yes, pretty regularly. Ridley:...Ok true but you didn't have to say it.
Technically, he’s only died in Super Metroid (original body), Other M (clone), and Fusion (X-Parasite). He can completely regenerate his body by eating flesh as explained in the Manga. In fact, it makes no sense that he HAS died in the first place.
@@AgentG128 Huh, that's a nice observation, although makes little sense since the game comes before Super and Other M and not Fusion and so it's not as if he's transitioning or anything.
Actually in phase 1 he is trying to escape with the baby Metroid, in phase 2 he counterattacks Samus and in phase 3 Samus and the baby Metroid double team Ridley, but though the game takes place before fusion, the ending shows the X Parasites taking over the planet again which becomes a prelude to Fusion
I like to think he's becoming more frenzied; he's getting more pissed off and is pushing himself further. His mission matters nothing to him now - *the Hunter dies first.*
@@joejoetuber574 He is transitioning, from Meta Ridley into the organic Ridley at the start of Super. That’s why you get a more vibrant version of the Meta Ridley theme closer in line with the Super Metroid theme as the second phase. Though, all three still have the aspects that specifically make it the Meta Ridley theme and not the other ridley themes such as the extra parts of the theme and the specific Meta Ridley theme instruments; the theme is called Meta Ridley Phase 1/2/3 in the files/Japanese official materials still
I've gotta say, I absolutely love both this boss and it's music. The people complaining about Proteus Ridley beung in the game clearly don't appreciate that it absolutely proves that the Prime series is canon. They have never known the pain of the some of the most interesting games in the series being considered non-canon yet the fanfic known as Other M being considered canon.
@@cianwhite6529 I think he meant the subtle relationship building that happened between Samus and the Baby Metroid during this fight. I'm not sure I'll ever let Mother Brain live what she did down...
Imagine a scenario where Samus is protecting a small group of alien people consisting of a Child with their mother and father, perhaps a situation similar to when Samus and his family first encountered ridley. And toward the end of this scenario, Ridley is about to kill the child's parents. Samus steps in right before that happens, seeing visions of her own parents dying at the hads of the same villain before her. I can just picture her thinking: "I couldn't protect my parents from you, but I 'will' protect 'THEM', from you!!" and that's when this phase theme begins for this showdown.
Honestly don't think Ridley being thrown as a final boss isn't that bad of an idea. We know he's fully recovered in Super Metroid, so why couldn't he appear on sr388 and obtain another Metroid for mother brain. Samus just now defeating all of them encountering Ridley makes more sense for the start of super Metroid and why she wouldn't worry about threat of space pirates because Ridley was left beaten to near death on sr388
@@williamgeorge3111 HOLY CRAP YOU'RE RIGHT! I was watching my stepbrother play super Metroid I knew something was weird with Ridley. His sprite indicates damage from regular shots, but his real boss fight doesn't.
Well actually it was a pretty bad idea to add Ridley to Metroid 2 as the Final Boss lore-wise. Since if Samus knew that Ridley wanted to get the Baby Metroid after defeating him, she would have probably never left the Ceres Space Colony/Station knowing that Ridley would eventually attack the station and attempt to steal the Baby Metroid once more,.
@@tetrafuse3096 Dude (3 weeks late, I know, don’t care), SHE LITERALLY HAD JUST KILLED RIDLEY!… again, but still. And before someone says (He’s come back from nearly dying before, why didn’t Samus check). Look, if we were to look at this canonically, the last time Samus fought Ridley was Prime 3, and before that, Prime 1. Neither time had she SEEN him die, it was usually him “exploding” before Samus’s view of him would be obscured, either by the Cliffside, or by the light of Phazon (which has regenerative properties, mind you. Coupled with his own regeneration, Ridley surviving his explosion in Prime 3 is NOT improbable.). Samus has never actually seen him die, not since Zero Mission (which was YEARS ago.). Not here, not this time. She killed him, left him dead. There was no escape for him, no Phazon, no Space Pirates to help him (to her knowledge), he was dead, done and dusted. Coupled with the Baby Metroid helping in the fight, it was basically ensured that he was dead. So please explain to me, after all of that, why Samus would expect Ridley to come back?

To me, this is the pinnacle of Metroid music, which may sound odd, but allow me to explain. Metroid is the only videogame, where the music doesn't cheer you on, and it doesn't make you helpless, it purely creates tension. Its transparent, the music doesn't create a bias narrative, merely emphasises the true nature of what it is your going through. So this theme, being the last one, where the guitar shreds, and the voices all rise for the occasion, it doesn't make you feel powerful, and it doesn't make him powerful, it is purely tension, that no other game has recreated, and it makes me mad. This game, is so detached from any other, because every other game drives a narrative, while in Metroid dread, it keeps it as real as possible, while being a story about space lady with bird dad. Just listen to the theme of when you kill an E.M.M.I, its not victorious, it just, feels, hollow, like you just completed another task, because the victory isn't felt until you are off the planet with the parasite dead. This theme against Ridley, where you at your best, and he is at his, it creates a tension no other can match.
For anyone who didn’t like the addition of Proteus Ridley. Keep in mind his inclusion made the Prime games officially canon even after Nintendo said they weren’t.
Clone Ridley’s revenge after the x parasite copied him from his Metroid drained husk which I can’t believe he was still half ass alive when metriods kill anything they make a husk

You act like Ridley reappearing is a new thing. Ridley is kinda THE reappearing boss character. Most Metroid games have a Ridley fight in them, and it’s been that way since Super Metroid, like this is not new information.
It's not important to the timeline, it's a lame convenient plot device reboot, just like when they made an android of earth origin the creator of the xenomorphs in Alien Covenant You are probably one of those who thinks every Zelda game should start with threee dungeons, one forest themed, one fire themed and one water themed, then aquire the master sword, some more dungeons, fight the fake final boss until Ganon shows up as the real final boss If we should have repetitive elements, then at least make the games less linear and hand-holding Don't waste opportunites, who knows when we will get another 2D Metroid, or Metroid game at all for that matter, throw in something that hasn't been done before in 2D, or make it as non-linear as the first Metroid
well, according to the wiki, "In Greek mythology, Proteus is the name of the god of rivers and oceanic bodies of water, who was known for his adaptability and versatility. Therefore, the Proteus name for Ridley is appropriate as it reflects his ability to easily recover from his battle wounds."
