Line 7:
*** Using the [[Game Breaker|Wavebuster]] with a sufficient supply of missiles makes the fight much easier, although that was an oversight on the part of the developers, corrected with the PAL and Trilogy re-releases. Ridley probably ate the testers who missed that one.
** ''Prime'''s battle is nothing compared to the fight with Mecha-Ridley in ''Metroid Zero Mission''. Even with all of the powerups in the game, he remains a formidable challenge, attacking with no discernible pattern (using his attacks in any order), with a final phase that can only be described as complete chaos, with missiles and lasers firing everywhere, and an increasingly slim amount of time to fire at his weak point. Not many bosses give off such a feeling of satisfaction after beating them.
** ''[[Metroid: Other M]]'''s Ridley fight is also epic, even despite the divisive cutscene before it. Samus basically shits bricks and has to come to her senses when Ridley takes out her friend. Samus kicks his ass anyway, so much so he freaks out himself and crashes through a wall. But that would be leaving out the actual fight. He plays much like the 2D games, as do you - it's fast, frantic, and awesome. It gets even more awesome on Hard mode, where ''almost every attack'' is a OHKO, even the comes-out-of-nowhere tail attack. He also does fireballs at you which cause shockwaves, tries to grab you and drag you against the wall (which he does in a cutscene in ''[[Super Smash Bros.|Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''), leaps and flies around, and is generally chaotic. Better still, you've been authorised to use the Super Missiles ''and'' the Plasma Beam literally within a cutscene of this fight, so you get to go to town with your new weaponry.
* ''Super Metroid'' on the SNES, the final fight with Mother Brain. After suffering a huge attack and being brought to your knees, {{spoiler|the young Metroid that you saved in the previous Gameboy installment which thinks Samus is its mother shows up, sucks a bunch of energy out of Mother Brain, and transfers it to you, saving your life and powering you up.}}
** Tearjerker: {{spoiler|The Metroid gets blown up about five seconds after saving your life. Then, [[Berserk Button|Samus gets pissed.]]}}
