Ridley Robot is a robotic version of Ridley built by Space Pirates.
[edit] Biography
After Samus Aran defeated Ridley in his lair, the Space Pirates started to rebuild him with meta-enhanchments, prior to Metroid Prime. Samus encounters the new version of him, the robotic version, in the control room of the Mother Ship, and this is the final boss in the game.
[edit] Battle
To defeat Ridley Robot, Samus must fire Missiles or Super Missiles at a small, glass-encased panel on his chest, which resembles the weak spot of Meta-Ridley. Only missiles will damage it; Beam weapons have no effect.If Samus collects all 100% of the hidden items prior to arrival, Ridley Robot's offensive and defensive power will greatly increase, making for a longer and more difficult battle than normal. Once defeated, Ridley Robot will shut down and cause the Mothership's self-destruct countdown to begin, leaving Samus with only 3 minutes to escape the ship.
[edit] Trivia
- When Samus first enters the Space Pirate Mothership, a short cut-scene of Ridley Robot's eye opening is seen, signifying that it knew exactly when Samus entered the complex.
- The robot may be a prototype/precursor to the resurrected Ridley who is seen in the Metroid Prime games: Meta-Ridley.
