::'''Ridley'''
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/metaridley.png]]
----> ''They're old news. And old news bores me.''
A villain shrouded in mystery. He seems to share an unspoken bond with Ganondorf, and is actively working with him.
----
* AdaptationalWimp: Averted in the main series, where Ridley's power is equivalent to, and perhaps even greater than, that of a god. In ''Smash King HD'', however, he's more {{Adorkable}} due to his affection for Liz, not as apparent sadism and no traces of any godly strength.
* BackFromTheDead: Was found dead from unknown causes, but is recovered by Ganondorf and put on life support. It's [[spoiler: Bowser rejecting the Creator's power and sharing it with the world]] that enables him to function on his own.
* [[spoiler: TheBadGuyWins: Conquers New Pork City.]]
* BerserkButton: Much like Bowser, he initially detests being referred to as Ganondorf's "pet."
* BigBadDuumvirate: [[spoiler: Part of a group called the "Tetracardinals,"the Foil of the Creator's Triune.]]
* ButtMonkey: In ''Smash King HD.'' Despite his fearsome demeanor and his role as a major threat in the series proper, it's jarring to see a major antagonist be treated like a bumbling side character.
* CloneArmy: Upon [[spoiler: conquering New Pork City]], Meta Ridley unleashes an army of Ridley clones.
* {{Cyborg}}: He was wholly flesh prior to being found by Ganondorf. Team Ganon outfits Ridley with robotic parts in order to resurrect him.
* DarkLordOnLifeSupport: Even after being resurrected, he can't survive without robotic parts. He's also confined to the area beneath New Pork City, [[spoiler: though this works to his and Ganondorf's advantage]]. However, Ridley does have a "Zero" form that can leave New Pork City willingly, and is capable of dishing out massive amounts of damage without feeling much pain.
* EarlyBirdCameo: Appears in ''Smash King HD'', which premiered before his official debut in Episode 18.
* EvilIsBigger: Easily the largest character in the series, dwarfing even Giga Bowser. Averted with his Zero form however, which is around the same size as everyone else.
* EvilSoundsRaspy
* {{Foil}}: To Bowser. Both are perceived as nothing more than violent monsters, but while Bowser's conscience leads him to abandon his villainous disposition, Ridley actively embraces his role as a harbinger of doom and havoc.
* [[spoiler: GreaterScopeVillain]]
* [[spoiler: HeroKiller: Ridley takes this trope UpToEleven in Episode 19 with Samus. Basically, he reflects and enhances the same energy immobilizing attack she previously used on Bowser, and then proceeds to '''''eat her alive''''' as she struggles to form her last words.]]
* HiddenVillain: Never seen until the end of Act II.
* MixAndMatchMan: While most of his genetic code has been infused with [[spoiler: Bowser's]] DNA, Ganondorf also infused him with [[spoilers: elements of Link and Lucario's DNA.]] Thus, he inherits most of their strengths and relatively few weaknesses.
* TheOmniscient: Seems to know a great deal about Bowser's past, including [[spoiler: his role in the Creator's Triune]] and [[spoiler: his relationship with the previous Peach. Since he was enhanced with Bowser's DNA and memories, it's no wonder he knows so much.]]
** [[spoiler: Also counts as a case of ShownTheirWork, as in VideoGame/MetroidOtherM, Ridley is shown to have the ability to remember certain things from a previous life if he's cloned.]]
* SelfProclaimedLoveInterest: To Liz. In ''Smash King HD'', this is despite the fact that he's nothing more than the victim of Bowser and Liz prank calling him once a week.
* YouWakeUpInARoom: Meta Ridley wakes up in Team Ganon's base with no idea where he is or who brought him back from the dead.
::'''Zero Ridley'''
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/zeroridley.png]]
----> ''There's so many ways to deal with feckless cretins like you...though, it wouldn't hurt to experiment.''
An offshoot of the original Ridley. Zero Ridley acts on behalf of the original, taking orders from Ganondorf.
----
* TheDragon: To Ridley, who in turn serves as one to Ganondorf.
* TheDreaded: The moment President Dedede reveals him to the public after his stint in Saffron City, everyone is shocked at his appearance. Even ''Sonic'' looks terrified of him.
* KnightOfCerebrus: Somehow manages to one-up '''Ganondorf''' in this regard. During the Emeraudefest at Saffron City, Zero interrupts Link and Lizardon's battle, and proceeds to curbstomp the former while shrugging off most of his attacks, even in his ascent mode. Bear in mind that Dark Link was capable of wiping the floor with Ike, Hyper Sonic, and Team Falcon all in the span of a few hours, so that ''really'' says something about Zero Ridley's strength.
* LiteralSplitPersonality: One of many offshoots of the original Ridley.
* MixAndMatchMan: By virtue of being a clone of the real Ridley, he also inherits the abilities of [[spoiler: Bowser, Link and Lucario.]]
* MyHeroZero: Inverted. Zero Ridley may just be an offshoot of the actual Ridley, but that doesn't make him any less dangerous, as [[spoiler: Link]] can attest to.
* NominalImportance: The only one of the countless Ridley clones to have a name.
* SoftspokenSadist: Despite his monstrous behavior, Zero Ridley manages to maintain a reasonable facade...at least, until his anger shows though.
* TortureTechnician: Is eager to not only torture his foes, but also find new ways of carrying out said torture.
* WickedCultured: Speaks very eloquently.
::'''Phantom Ganon'''
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/phantomganon_4.png]]
One of Ganondorf's minions. As a result of Ganondorf gaining an increase in power, Phantom Ganon is a useful summon for the Evil King.
----
* CoDragons: Appears to be one with Zero Ridley in Act III.
* CoolSword: Uses the same sword as Ganondorf.
* MadeOfEvil: A being made up of dark magic.
* NoBodyLeftBehind: When defeated, Phantom Ganon dissipates into particles of dark magic.
* OurGhostsAreDifferent: Instead of an actual spirit, Phantom Ganon is a double that can be summoned by the real Ganondorf, whom he can take the place of whenever he needs to.
* PowerFloats
* ResurrectiveImmortality: Since he's technically already a ghost, Phantom Ganon can always return when summoned by his master.
* ShadowWalker
* SilentAntagonist: Justified, as he's a creation of Ganondorf with no actual personality.
* SkullForAHead: And it comes equipped with HornsOfVillainy.
* TennisBoss: Much like Ganondorf, Phantom Ganon's lightning magic can be reflected.

----> ''You'll willingly become my pet again in due time, Koopa.''
The BigBad of the series. [[spoiler: Back in Melee, his plan was to meet and defeat {{God}} with the help of Bowser on the day when the characters made the jump to Brawl, in order to recreate the new world in his image. This plan backfired when Bowser killed Ganondorf just before the jump to Brawl.]] His new plan in Brawl seems to be to win the Smash King Tourney [[spoiler: and use his wish (and Bowser) to conquer {{God}}.]] To this end, he seeks Bowser to become his pet again, whether Bowser wants to or not...[[spoiler: until he happens to find Ridley, who is not only more powerful than Bowser could ever hope to be, but is also willing to aid Ganondorf in his plans.]]

* BecauseDestinySaysSo: He claims that he and Bowser can never be more than monsters because of their past incarnations.
* CastingAShadow
* CoolSword
* {{Curbstomp Battle}}: In Episode 13, he battles [[spoiler: Mario, Ike, Fox, Falco, Lucario, President Dedede, and Meta Knight '''at the same time''', with a clear advantage.]]
* DangerousForbiddenTechnique: [[spoiler: He knows how to destroy and alter the matrices of other trophies.]]
* DarkIsEvil
* EmbarrassingNickname: Doesn't take well to "Ganny".
* EvilCounterpart: To Bowser. Both suffered because of their reputations, something they had ''no'' control over, and tried hard to fit in with others. While Bowser has finally managed to break the image everyone had of him, Ganon has given up and decided to [[ThenLetMeBeEvil become the very thing everyone feared of.]]
* EvilLaugh
* EmbarrassingNickname: When confronting Dedede, at the B.S Society's headquarters, the President mockingly refers to Ganondorf as "Ganny". Similarly, Toon Link likes to call him "Ganondork", although Ganon oddly doesn't take offense to that one.
* FauxAffablyEvil: "See my new nose?"
* GodhoodSeeker: [[spoiler: Plans to use Bowser's near godly power and the Smash King victory to overthrow The Creator and take his place.]]
* HeroKiller: [[spoiler:He is responsible for the deaths of Pichu, the previous Fox, and Mewtwo.]]
* KnightOfCerebus: [[spoiler: Along side Link,]] things get quite edgy whenever he is present.
* MadeOfIron: [[spoiler: Mario's [[LimitBreak Final Smash]] [[OhCrap doesn't even faze him.]]]]
* NobleDemon: Claims to be as much when [[spoiler: he helps purify Wolf of the Creator's influence]]. Ganondorf muses that, barring a singular exception, he loathes killing for the sake of killing (though given the body count listed under HeroKiller, it's hard to pinpoint ''which'' death was the exception to his rules).
* NoSell: See MadeOfIron.
* NotSoStoic: Normally he keeps his FauxAffablyEvil persona up, but when he gets angry, you'll know it.
-->'''Ganondorf''': (to Lucario) Honestly, you two can't be left alone to do '''anything'''! We may have Koopa sooner than expected, but how do you suggest our plan to go smoothly if WE WERE '''DISQUALIFIED'''?!
* OneWingedAngel: His Final Smash, Ganon.
* [[spoiler: PowerTrio: A member of the Creator's Triune, and the second most powerful of the three. Being second-rate to Bowser is what drives him to manipulate the Koopa to his own wicked ends.]]
* TennisBoss: Similar to his boss fight in ''Ocarina of Time'', Ganondorf can be stunned by lightning magic. He and Bowser engage in a quick volley after the Koopa comes to his senses.
