    How many Metroid games has Ridly appeared in and name them.

    Close but no. 1 too many.

    This is a trick question by the way.

    The only ways I can think of it being a trick question is you may not count "Super Metroid" because it doesn't start with "Metroid" or "Metroid Zero Mission" because it's just a remake. Or it could be that there is nothing in Metroid called "Ridly" but there's something called "Ridley." Other than that, I'm stumped.

    I will wait to see if Kawaii figures out my ruse. I just misspelled Ridley btw because I suck.

    Ridley appears in Metroid, Super Metroid, Zero Mission, and Prime, but the Ridley in Fusion I believe is like an X-parasite mimic and not really him. So I think it's four.

    Snap Jumper is right. The "Ridley" in fusion is just an X Parasite that has taken that form and is not a real Ridley there for it doesn't really count.

    *reads comic*

    Go!

    Ridley is still in Fusion in the form of the frozen corpse from which the X parasite gets his DNA data junk.

    What I don't get is Ridley and the timeline and stuff.

    So like, assuming Zero Mission replaces Metroid in the timeline, it goes like this...

    Samus kills Ridley.
    Ridley is reborn as Mecha Ridley.
    Samus kills Mecha-Ridley.
    Ridley is reborn as Meta-Ridley in Prime
    Samus BRUTALLY SLAUGHTERS META-RIDLEY.
    Ridley is reborn as just plain Ridley in Super Metroid.
    Samus UTTERLY DEVASTATES RIDLEY.
    Somehow Ridley's intact, frozen corpse ends up on BSL and is consumed by the X.

    Right, so, Ridley gets blown up and remade three times, so there's gotta be like, a few Ridleys out there or something, or the Space Pirates perfectly clone him every time.

    Mecha/Metal/Robot Ridley wasn't Ridley reborn; it was just a robot that was made to look like Ridley. I guess he's just that vain. So, it's more like this.
    • Metroid (Zero Mission): Samus kills Ridley.
    • Metroid Prime: Ridley is revived with a bunch of "metagenetic" body armor and missiles and stuff. Code Name wa Meta-Ridley. Samus almost kills him, and then some Chozo lasers knock him off a cliff, and of course we don't see the impact. It's safe enough to assume he didn't die here, and the Pirates just picked him up.
    • Super Metroid: Ridley is still kicking around, although minus the metagenetic stuff. Samus kills him again and we clearly see him fall to pieces. Shortly afterwards, the entire planet explodes.
    • Metroid Fusion: Ridley's body appears intact--albeit frozen--aboard the Bio Space Labs spacestation. Eventually, an X parasite infests it, copies Ridley's DNA data junk, and takes off, at which point the poor corpse falls to pieces...again.
    It's all pretty clear-cut except the matter of Ridley's corpse being on the spacestation. I can think of a couple explanations for this.
    • Considering there are also X mimicking Space Pirates aboard the station, the Galatic Federation may have been carrying on some underhanded deals that netted them the bodies/genetic material of Ridley and some Pirates. The Federation and the Pirates have a shared interest in Metroid breeding, after all.
    • As a bounty hunter, Samus may have saved body parts from the Pirates she killed as proof of her accomplishments to show her commissioners. (The old Itoh comic shows her doing this with Pirate claws.) Then the Federation used those parts to rebuild Ridley's body, and then the X got into it and the Pirate material, etc.

    I read the space pirate log an it seems they cloned ridley and added metal to him. At least that is how I see it.

    "The reconstruction of geoform 187, code-named Ridley, was recently completed.
    After his defeat on Zebes, Command ordered a number of metagenenic improvements
    for him. Though aggressive, we were able to implement these changes in a cycle.
    The metamorphosis was painful, but quite successful in the end. Early tests
    indicate a drastic increase in strength, mobility, and offensive capability.
    Cybernetic modules and armour plating have been added as well. We believe our
    creature, now called Meta Ridley, will become the mainstay of our security
    force, a job he will certainly relish."
