It took 16+ years but Ridley finally made it into Smash as a playable character. I guess it's proof that demand for a character can make anything happen, especially after Sakurai denied him for so many games.
Ridley's actually been in every Smash in some form (besides trophies):
- Smash 64 = You see his SNES sprite flying in the background in the Metroid stage
- Melee = You see Samus fight him in the opening
- Brawl = Ridley and Meta Ridley are boss fights in the game
- Smash U = Ridley is a boss stage character
Now finally after 4 games, Ridley is playable. A dream come true after 16 years to finally have Samus' biggest enemy playable.
