留 Sakurai Explains Why Ridley Isn't Playable in Super Smash Bros . November 19 2014 by Ben Lamoreux Despite years of requests and petitions from fans, Metroid villain Ridley has never been a playable character in the Super Smash Bros. series. Although the dreaded Space Pirate boss is not playable in Smash Wii U, he does play a big role as a stage boss Nintendo has a vast library of popular characters to choose from, so some favorites are bound to be left out, but the passionate pleas from fans for Ridley are among the loudest. Smash creator and director Masahiro Sakurai recently revealed the reason behind his decision not to make Ridley playable in an interview with IGN. Here's what he had to say. Idefinitely 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. 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 Iwant to pay ample attention to. 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. - Masahiro Sakurai Sorry, Ridley fans, but it looks like it's never going to happen. On the bright side, Ridley's increased role (he can even fight on your side!) in Smash Wii U sounds like a blast. Just two more days!

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.
