In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', Ridley is a playable character for the first time, announced during the E3 2018 Nintendo Direct alongside fellow newcomers [[Inkling]] and [[Princess Daisy|Daisy]]. His appearance in this game seems to primarily be based off of that in ''[[metroidwiki:Super Metroid|Super Metroid]]'', while he has a similar size to his appearance in the original ''[[metroidwiki:Metroid (game)|Metroid]]''. His [[Final Smash]] involves him slamming an opponent or opponents against Samus's [[Gunship]] and shooting plasma at the ship; the falling gunship can be seen in the background after the attack. Two of his alternate costumes swap him out for Meta Ridley (although he is still referred to in-game as simply "Ridley").
Ridley does not share a victory theme with Samus, instead using an intense and sinister variation of the ''Metroid'' victory theme; the flourish itself is shared with [[Dark Samus]], and this trait is shared with fellow newcomers [[Chrom]], [[King K. Rool]], and [[Piranha Plant]], as well as several veterans,
In his reveal trailer, "A Piercing Screech" Mario, Mega Man, and Samus Aran are traversing through a mechanical room on a walkway. Ridley stealthily takes Mega Man and Mario out by impaling the former with his tail and crushing the latter's head. Samus eventually senses something amiss and points her arm cannon behind her, only to find Mario's discarded hat. Suddenly, the walkway quakes with Ridley bursting out from underneath and knocking a shocked Samus off her feet. Ridley then proceeds to roar before giving an inhuman smirk as he twirls Mario's hat around his finger. In the ending of the trailer, Ridley, after presumably causing a blaze to kill Samus, is flapping his wings only to glare in slight irritation when Zero Suit Samus uses her
Ridley is a heavy fighter, being heavier than [[Solid Snake|Snake]], [[R.O.B.]], and [[Banjo]] & [[Kazooie]] but lighter than Samus, Bowser Jr. (and the Koopalings), Dark Samus, and [[Terry Bogard|Terry]], while having the same weight as [[Wario]], [[Ike]], [[Simon Belmont|Simon]], and [[Richter Belmont|Richter]].

====Special moves====
=====Plasma Breath=====
[[File:SSBU Plasma Breath.png|thumb|upright=1.1|Plasma Breath in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'']]
{{main-external|SmashWiki|Plasma Breath}}
'''Plasma Breath''' is Ridley's neutral special move. When used, Ridley charges plasma in his mouth and then shoots up to five fireballs out in a curve. The number of fireballs that Ridley expels depends on the duration that the button is held. While Ridley uses this move in many appearances, the ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'' version is most similar to his battles in the original ''Metroid'' and ''Super Metroid''.

=====Space Pirate Rush=====
[[File:SSBU Space Pirate Rush.png|thumb|left|upright=1.4|Space Pirate Rush in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'']]
{{main-external|SmashWiki|Space Pirate Rush}}
'''Space Pirate Rush''' is Ridley's side special move. When used, Ridley dashes forwards with his arm in front of him. If he hits an opponent, he will grab them and drag them across the ground, dealing continuous damage. This is similar to his dash attack used in his battles in the ''Metroid Prime'' series, and the dragging is similar to his battle in ''Metroid: Other M''.

=====Wing Blitz=====

{{main-external|SmashWiki|Wing Blitz}}
'''Wing Blitz''' is Ridley's up special move. When used, Ridley charges upwards into the air, hitting opponents with his wings. While it can be used as a vertical recovery, it is also noticeably powerful.

=====Skewer=====

{{main-external|SmashWiki|Skewer}}
'''Skewer''' is Ridley's down special move. When used, Ridley brings his tail back before suddenly stabbing forward with it. If the move is sweetspotted, it results in a critical hit and causes a Special Zoom effect, dealing extreme damage. Ridley uses his tail as a stabbing attack in most of his appearances, though it is usually a vertical stab.

====Final Smash====
=====Plasma Scream=====
[[File:SSBU Ridley Gunship.png|thumb|left|upright=1.4|Plasma Scream in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'']]
{{main-external|SmashWiki|Plasma Scream}}
'''Plasma Scream''' is Ridley's [[Final Smash]]. Ridley lets out a roar and dashes forward. The opponents that are hit will be thrown onto Samus's gunship. As the gunship flies off, Ridley fires a plasma blast at them, causing the ship to destroy in an explosion. This Final Smash is an instant KO on opponents at 100% or higher. After this move is used, Samus's ship can be seen crashing in the background. This is a reference to a move he uses as Meta Ridley in ''Metroid Prime''.

*'''Pit''': RIDLEY CONFIRMED!
*'''Palutena''': Uh, yes.
*'''Pit''': I never thought I'd have to fight an alien space dragon in Smash...
*'''Viridi''': Kirby's a space alien too, ya know! Jury's still out on him being a dragon, though.
Line 257 ⟶ 325:
*'''Pit''': Not surprising. Samus is a beast!
*'''Palutena''': So is Ridley. Mind the sharp barb on his tail.
===Super Smash Blog bio===
*''Joining the battle from the storied Metroid series, Ridley's long tail and sharp claws let him unleash a torrent of devastating attacks. His Final Smash is a powerful stream of plasma breath intense enough to bring down Samus's starship.''

==Trivia==
*Ridley appears in [[Nintendo Monopoly]], in which he takes the place of Tennessee Avenue. He costs $180.
*Ridley's trophies in ''Melee'' and ''Brawl'' both state that he is the head of the Space Pirates on Zebes. This is false, however, with the real head being [[Mother Brain]] as well as Space Pirate Command.
*Due to the time limit that is given during the Meta Ridley battle, [[Trophy Stand]]s will appear more frequently, especially on the easier skill levels.
*Ridley's stock icon for ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'' uses his appearance from ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', instead of his ''[[metroidwiki:Metroid: Other M|Metroid: Other M]]'' appearance.
*Ridley's stock artwork in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' resembles [[:File:SSB4 - Bowser Artwork.png|Bowser's stock artwork]] from ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' / ''Wii U''.
*Ridley's splash screen introduction in his ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'' reveal trailer; "Ridley Hits the Big Time!", may be a reference to [http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/ridley-is-too-big "Ridley is Too Big"], an Internet meme originating from arguments against Ridley being a playable character in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series.
*His appearance in ''Ultimate'' is the first game to directly showcase his more intelligent and cunning personality traits, as while various sources in both prior ''Smash'' games as well as his home franchise (most directly in the [[metroidwiki:Metroid (manga)|''Metroid'' manga]]) strongly implied that he possessed these traits, they were not immediately apparent in his characterization in the games, where he is generally portrayed as simply a monster.
