Ridley Is Big as S--- | Super Smash Brothers | Know Your Meme

SUPER SMASH BROS. FOR WIIl U 19 NOV 2014 WHY RIDLEY ISN'T PLAYABLE IN SMASH BROS. 108 Size is only part of the problem BY JOSE OTERO→ Smash Bros. creator Masahiro Sakurai explained why he chose not to make Ridley, the space pirate villain from the Metroid series, a playable fighter in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U Smash Bros. for Wii-U Opening Cinematic 01:46 "I definitely know that Ridley's a much-anticipated name for fans, but if we made Ridley as a fighter, it wouldn't be Ridley any longer" Sakurai told IGN in an email interview. "It'd have to be shrunk down, or its wings reduced in size, or be unable to fly around freely. Providing accurate portrayals of characters is something I want to pay ample attention to," he continued. "If I don't stick to that thought, then we'd have to lower the quality or break the balance of the game. Something that goes way off spec could break the entire game Smash Wii U: All the Character Costumes 04:51 Sakurai instead opted to include Ridley as a stage boss for Pyrosphere, a new arena debuting in Smash Wii U. "Instead of going through a lot of very convoluted hocus- pocus to make Ridley a fighter, I figured it'd be better to keep Ridley as it currently is, the correct way, and have it feel like a truly threatening presence," Sakurai explained There are other icons, too, like Metal Face and the Yellow Devil, which help effectively portray each of their world settings. They go a long way toward deepening the game world, and I think it's been fun to experiment with."

Notes:

Unfortunately having to re-upload this because the original got moved to the ghost town of a sub-entry "Ridley Is Too Big".

It's perfectly legit to have the same image posted in multiple galleries, though, so there shouldn't be any issue.

Supper Mario Broth @MarioBrothBlog Storyboard drawings for the intro to Super Smash Bros. show that the Mario toy was originally planned to have soulless blank eyes before being brought to life by Master Hand. Below is a mock-up of what the scene could have looked like if this idea was left in.
