'''Mecha Ridley''' is an incomplete robotic weapon constructed in the image of [[Ridley (specimen)|Ridley]], found in the [[Space Pirate Mother Ship]].<ref>{{Cite web|quote=Ridley made an image of himself to demonstrate his power by making that image as a powerful weapon. Incidentally, it is currently incomplete, and is currently at the halfway stage, becoming more massive once the walking unit and flying unit is installed.| url=http://www.metroid-database.com/features/faq2.php#stage02| title= Sakamoto Questions| site= Metroid Database}}</ref> It attacks by firing rockets that can be destroyed for energy and ammunition, energy beams launched from its eyes, and fireballs. Mecha Ridley blasts the fireballs out in alternating diagonal blasts that {{Samus}} can evade with the [[Space Jump]]. It also can use its claws for melee attacks.


'''Mecha Ridley''' is a form of [[Ridley (specimen)|Ridley]] from ''[[Metroid: Zero Mission]]'', as well as the final boss of that game. Mecha Ridley, as the name suggests, is a heavily mechanized form of Ridley. Its body is completely covered in a durable metal of some sort that cannot be damaged by any of [[Samus Aran|Samus's]] weapons, with the exception of a weakly-shielded area on its chest, a usual weakness for Ridley. Mecha Ridley has glowing green eyes and a large contraption on its back, presumably a battery to sustain its mechanical life. Mecha Ridley is unique among the different Ridley forms, since it cannot fly due to not having wings or legs yet.
Mecha Ridley's weak point is a glowing area on its chest, covered by thin casing that must be shattered. The only weapons capable of damaging the vulnerability are [[Missile|Missiles]] and [[Super Missile|Super Missiles]]. Mecha Ridley will normally keep its claw in front of the vulnerability to prevent damage, but when it slams the claw into the ground, Samus can damage the robot.


Upon its defeat, Mecha Ridley will drop a large amount of health and activate the self destruct sequence of the [[Space Pirate Mother Ship]].
Once Mecha Ridley is defeated, a large amount of energy will be left behind and the ship's self destruct mechanism will activate, forcing Samus to escape.

Mecha Ridley was the first attempt to recreate the fallen Space Pirate commander, and was a direct predecessor to the various forms of [[Meta Ridley]] that appeared later.

{{sectstub}}
 
===Claw===
Mecha Ridley's claw is used for its primary attacks. During this time, it will rise up, and come crashing down upon the intended prey.
 
===Lasers===
Mecha Ridley sometimes fires lasers out of its eyes. The lasers can travel three different directions - straight, down or up.
 
===Missiles==
Mecha Ridley will launch missiles from a launcher in its shoulder. These missiles will home in on Samus; they can be shot down to provide extra health and missiles.
 
===Fireballs===
Mecha Ridley will open its mouth and launch fireballs towards the top and bottom parts of the screen. The only way to avoid this attack is by space jumping in the middle of the screen until its attack stops.
