|full_name=Ridley
'''Bunkers''' (sometimes known as "'''Sand Traps'''") are divots filled with sand. They vary greatly in size; they can be a couple of yards wide to close to the length of the entire course. When a golf ball lands in a bunker, it reacts much like rough since it traps the ball. It takes great effort to get the ball out of the bunker, and it can affect a playing score greatly.

{{quote2|Ridley Hits the Big Time!|Introduction|"A Piercing Screech" Trailer for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate}}
'''Ridley''' is a high-ranking member of the [[metroidwiki:Space Pirate|Space Pirates]], and one of the main villains in the [[metroidwiki:Metroid (series)|''Metroid'' series]] of video games. He is directly responsible for the murder of [[Samus Aran]]'s [[metroidwiki:Virginia Aran|mother]] and partially responsible for the death of [[metroidwiki:Rodney Aran|her father]]. In several instances, Ridley appears as an upgraded cybernetic version of himself called '''Meta Ridley'''. In addition to the ''Metroid'' series, Ridley has made an appearance in all games in the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]] (aside from ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]''), as well as in ''[[Nintendo Land]]'' in animatronic form.


When the ball goes into a bunker, the announcer says ''"Oh, too bad!"'' in the [[Mario Golf (Nintendo 64)|Nintendo 64 ''Mario Golf'']] but nothing in the other games. Also, if the player scored par or better after their ball went into the bunker during a hole, this becomes a Sand Save, which is recorded in the Records.

===Fairway===
|color=purple
[[File:Marioncourse.png|thumb|The Fairway can be seen in light green.]]
|image=Ridley_SSBUltimate.png
The '''Fairway''' is the central path of each [[#Hole|hole]] on the way to the [[#Green|Green]]. It usually covers about two-thirds of each golf course. Fairway has light green short-cut grass and has no effect on the golf ball. Fairway is the easiest part of the course to strike the ball from, for it is not deep and will not impair the player's shot. However, Fairway can be placed anywhere on the course; Thus, the Fairway can be on a hill, in a divot, by the edge of the course, or even in hard-to-reach places. This is the only part of Fairway that can impair the player's shot. Following the fairway is usually the safest and quickest way to the Green.

====Fast Fairway====
|games=''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''
[[File:Fast Fairway.png|thumb|left]]
|standard=
'''Fast Fairway''' is a variation on the normal Fairway which, as the name implies, has the grass cut so that the ball will roll farther and bounce higher. The fast fairway is differently-colored from the regular fairway, signifying its place on the course.
|side=
 
|up=
In ''Toadstool Tour'', fast fairways appear on the courses Blooper Bay, Peach's Castle Grounds, and Bowser Badlands, and are brighter in color than ordinary fairways. In ''World Tour'', fast fairways are seen only in the Seaside Course and have darker colors than normal fairways. The player will have to be careful when calculating where to shoot the ball if it is going to land on the fast fairway, since it can severely impair the player's score depending on how the ball reacts to the landing.

===Green===
}}
[[File:MGGreen.png|thumb|A golf ball on the green.]]
====''Super Smash Bros.''====
The '''Green''' of the hole is where the [[#Pin|Pin]], [[#Flag|Flag]], and [[#Hole|Hole]] are located, and as such forms the outer target players must aim for. The Green is usually surrounded by a '''Fringe'''. Golfers generally only use putters to strike the ball while on the green. The location of the hole always changes on the green. In the Star Tournament, the Green is replaced with Tournament Green.
In ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'', Ridley can occasionally be seen flying in the background of the [[Planet Zebes]] arena.
 
====Tournament Green====
[[File:Tournamentgreen.jpg|thumb|left|A golf ball sliding on the Tournament Green]]
The '''Tournament Green''' is are variations of standard which Greens produce less friction on the ball, making it roll farther than when it lands on regular greens. They have appeared in all ''Mario Golf'' games since ''[[Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour]]''.
 
They are first found in the Star Tournament of that game as an additional challenge, but they can be used in any course once the player beats that course in the Star Tournament. In ''[[Mario Golf: World Tour]]'', they only appear in Expert Tournaments, which are regional tournaments played without a flight path, and major world tournaments namely the Castle Tournament, Star Open, Moon Open, and World Championship.
{{br}}
 
===Hole===
[[File:MGTT Hole.png|thumb|The golf ball, as it lands in the hole]]
The '''hole''' is the name of each playing area within a golf course, and of the small circular pit in the ground which is the ultimate target (the latter sometimes referred to as the '''cup''') of each one. In order to complete a hole, the player must sink the golf ball in the cup, which is located on the Green. The Pin sticks out of the cup to indicate its exact spot.
 
In ''Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour'', a cup can sometimes release special particle effects, especially if golfers successfully putt from a certain distance and score under par. In ''Mario Golf: World Tour'', flashes of light come out of the cup if golfers score par or better. When golfers are not yet on the green, the cup glows with a ray of light to signal them of its location.

===Out of Bounds===
[[File:MG64OB.png|thumb|Toad alerting that the ball is Out of Bounds in the intro of [[Mario Golf (Nintendo 64)|''Mario Golf'' (N64)]].]]
When a player hits a shot '''Out of Bounds''' (abbreviated as '''O.B.'''), it means that their golf ball landed outside the boundaries of the golf course. When the player hits the ball where it lands outside of the boundaries, falls off the edge, lands in [[lava]], in a [[Chain Chomp]] pit, or elsewhere that is not in the main course, it is registered as Out of Bounds. Some sort of signal usually appears when the player hits Out of Bounds. The penalty for going Out of Bounds is one stroke, added on to the player's current score for the hole. The player must then hit the ball from the same place that they hit the Out of Bounds shot. In ''[[NES Open Tournament Golf]]'' and [[Mario Golf (Nintendo 64)|''Mario Golf'' for the Nintendo 64]], [[Toad]] is the one to alert the player of an Out of Bounds shot, while in ''Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour'', a [[Koopa Paratroopa]] is the one to alert the player.
 
When an Out of Bounds shot happens, the announcer says ''"Oh, too bad!"'' except in ''[[Mario Golf: Advance Tour]]'' and ''[[Mario Golf: World Tour]]''. In the former, nothing is said in the case, while in the latter, the announcer says either ''"Out of Bounds!"'' or ''"Too bad!"'' instead (where [[Blue Toad (character)|Blue Toad]] holds up an '''OB''' sign).
 
====Out of Course====
In [[Mario Golf (Nintendo 64)|''Mario Golf'' for the Nintendo 64]], holes are rendered as isolated "islands" floating in a void, similar to the levels of ''[[Super Mario 64]]''. If the player shoots their ball beyond the boundaries not merely of the hole but the entire "island" and into the void, the text message "Out of Course" is displayed on-screen instead of Toad waving his flag. This is functionally identical to a standard OB. The announcer (as well as the other players, if played in Multiplayer Mode) calls out ''"Fore!"'' half a second after the ball is hit if it is determined that it will go Out of Course.<ref>[https://youtu.be/1kIHL2Jwems?t=3 The Fore message being said right after the ball is hit.]</ref>  (If the ball stops less than half a second after the shot, ''"Fore!"'' is not called. Should the ball stop exactly half a second later, the announcer will keep on saying ''"Fore!"'' continuously for 2 seconds while ''"Oh, too bad!"'' is said just once)
 
{{br}}
 
===Pin===
[[File:Pin (MGTT).png|thumb|The Pin is visible sticking out of the Hole.]]
The '''Pin''', also known as the '''Flagpole''' marks the location of the Hole, and the Flag is used to make it stand out a little more. Whenever the ball hits the pin, that would be called a "Pin Shot", usually making balls bounce back. The Pin is removed when players make shots on the Green, so that the ball can enter the hole more easily.

===Rough===
[[File:Rough.jpg|thumb|Rough in ''Mario Golf: World Tour''.]]
The '''Rough''' is the area of the courses where the grass is thicker than the fairway. There are three different types of '''Roughs''' seen on the courses; each one has a different effect on the player's landing and shot along with darker coloring as the effects of the rough intensifies:
 
====Semi-Rough====
'''Semi-Rough''' is a shallow type of rough that looks very similar to the Fairway. Though hardly visible, the Semi-Rough will slightly impair the player's shot out of the patch, making the ball not go as far or land in another place. It is usually the edge boundary between the fairway and the rough.
 
====Rough====
Standard '''Rough''' is in almost every course. It looks like much thicker blades of grass (when compared to the fairway). Rough is usually located near the Fairway or near a Bunker. Rough will impair the player's shot out of the patch, making the ball land in a completely different place than where planned.
 
====Heavy Rough====
'''Heavy Rough''' (also known as '''Deep Rough''') is the deepest and most dangerous type of Rough available on a course. It appears as very deep grass and is usually located near the boundaries of the course. Heavy Rough severely impairs the player's shot out of the thick patch; it usually takes a high shot to get the ball out, though it lands only a few yards away. When the ball goes into the rough, the announcer says, "Ooh, into the rough!"

===Tree Hazard===
A '''Tree Hazard''' serves a purpose; this event only occurs when the player's golf ball gets stuck in a tree and it:
*won't come down, or
*lands too close to a tree trunk.
The penalty for aiming at a tree is the same as a regular Out of Bounds shot.
*However, if a ball goes into a tree, the player has to hit the ball from wherever they aimed it from.
{{br}}
 
===Water Hazard===
[[File:WaterHazard.jpg|thumb|Lakitu alerting the player of a Water Hazard.]]
The '''Water Hazard''' is a body of water on the course. The penalty for hitting into a Water Hazard is the same as a regular Out of Bounds shot. However, if a ball goes into the water, the player must hit the ball a yard or two from the edge of the nearest land area from where the ball entered the water; this is called a Drop.
 
The announcer says ''"Oh, too bad!"''<ref>[https://youtu.be/nVXyF_AfSr0?t=1370 Water Hazard in Mario Golf: World Tour.]</ref> except in ''Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour'' and ''Mario Golf: Advance Tour''.
{{br}}
 
===Unplayable===
{{Quote2|A ball that cannot be played because of the terrain. There's a one-stroke penalty to drop the ball.|Golf Glossary|''Mario Golf: World Tour''/''Mario Golf: Advance Tour}}
[[File:Unplayable.jpg|thumb|Golf ball lands in an unplayable area in DK Jungle (golf course)|DK Jungle.]]
'''Unplayable''' is an area within the boundaries of a hole comprised of terrain that the ball may not be played from. Similar to [[#Out of Bounds|Out of Bounds]] and [[#Water Hazard|Water Hazards]], it attracts a one-stroke penalty,
 
They are not in specific areas of a golf course. For example, if the ball is in front of a tree and cannot go straight to move on the course, it is not a formally unplayable area, even if a player faces difficulty in playing it. [[Rock-Candy Mines (golf course)|Rock]] and [[#Flower Patch|flower patches]] do not count as an unplayable area.
 
**However, if the golf ball stops at a wooded area such as a Cabin<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GmqA6iMMWJo</ref> or a Bridge ([[Bowser's Castle (golf course)|Bowser's Castle]] of Hole 4 in ''Mario Golf: World Tour'')<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SFOxbYtHlaE</ref>, they are considered an area where wood is an unplayable area.
**The golf ball is safe to land of the white bridge of Hole 9 of Forest Course and holes 9 and 14 of Seaside Course.
*The text the "Unplayable" message appears in is shown in purple.

==Scores==
===Albatross===
[[File:Luigi Albatross MGWT.jpg|thumb|Luigi receiving his Albatross in ''Mario Golf: World Tour''.]]
An '''Albatross''' (also called '''Double Eagle''') is a score of three under Par for a given hole. Albatrosses are extremely difficult to perform, and usually require a character that can shoot the ball a great distance to perform them (such as [[Petey Piranha]] or [[Metal Mario (character)|Metal Mario]]). Albatrosses are usually done by means of Chip Ins, though on some Par 5 holes, depending on wind conditions, it is possible to land on the Green from the tee box, and then by sinking the Albatross Putt to get an Albatross without a Chip In.
 
In the Club Slots mode in ''Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour'', an Albatross gives the player 5 points. When played by Point Play rules in ''Mario Golf: World Tour'', Albatrosses are worth 8 points, which are worth the same as a Hole-in-One.
 
In [[Mario Golf (Nintendo 64)|''Mario Golf'' for Nintendo 64]], if the player gets on the Green in one stroke on a Par 5 hole, they will receive the [https://youtu.be/H1WJgVkOmBM?t=32 Albatross Putt] message in rainbow colors when they start their putt, while they are rainbow-colored on the Score Card. They are given a golden color in the ''Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour'' Score Card.
 
In ''Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour'' and ''Mario Golf: Advance Tour'', the color of Albatross Best Badges are red.

===Birdie===
[[File:BabyLuigiBirdie.png|thumb|Baby Luigi receiving a Birdie in ''Mario Sports Superstars''.]]
A '''Birdie''' is a score equal to one below Par. Birdies can be achieved on all holes and any character can achieve them. In ''Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour'' and ''Mario Golf: Advance Tour'', Birdie Best Badges are blue, whereas in ''Mario Golf: World Tour'', they're Silver. In all games, every time characters get a Birdie on a hole that they have not got a Birdie result in during a Tournament, they will get one Birdie Badge. Earning enough Badges can unlock content, depending on the game that is being played.
 
In the Score Card, Birdies are colored Orange in the [[Mario Golf (Nintendo 64)|Nintendo 64 version of ''Mario Golf'']], while they are half-white, half-red in ''Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour''.
 
====In other game modes====
*This is the lowest score that earns the player a [[Best Badge|Birdie Badge]] in Tournament mode.
*When playing Club Slots in ''Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour'' or by Point Play rules in ''Mario Golf: World Tour'', a Birdie gives the player 3 points.
*The Birdie Challenge mode in ''Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour'' requires the player to get a Birdie in each hole, otherwise they will fail the challenge.

===Bogey===
[[File:BabyMarioBogeyMSS.png|thumb|Baby Mario dissatisfied with his Bogey.]]
There are many degrees of '''bogeys''', though they are all considered bad scores. There are ten types of bogeys, but only three are actually called so. A normal bogey is a score that is one over par - e.g.,  the player gets the ball in the hole with six strokes on a par 5 hole. The player's character shows disappointment of his or her score at the end of the hole.
 
When playing Club Slots in ''Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour'' or by Point Play rules in ''Mario Golf: World Tour'', a Bogey gives the player 1 point. In the Score Card, Bogeys are Green in ''Mario Golf'' for the Nintendo 64 and half-white, half-blue in ''Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour''.
 
====Double Bogey or worse====
As the player takes more strokes over par, additional bogeys such as double, triple, and so on, occur. This feature only becomes used in games after ''Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour''. The terminology changes to digits once the fourth stroke over par is taken (+4) or second stroke over par (+2) in ''Mario Golf'' for the Nintendo 64. This goes up until +6 in Par 3 holes, +8 in Par 4 holes and +10 in Par 5 holes. By that time, the player cannot take any more strokes, and the hole automatically ends with a [[#Give Up|Give Up]].
 
When playing Club Slots in ''Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour'' or by Point Play rules in ''Mario Golf: World Tour'', a Double Bogey or lower score is worth 0 points. In the Score Card, scores of Double Bogey or worse are indicated in Blue.
 
In ''Mario Golf: Advance Tour'', if the player takes a +4 or worse score or gives up on a hole, the announcer says ''"Oh, too bad!"''. This is the only game in which the announcer says something for a score of +4 or worse while other games have the announcer say nothing.
{{br}}
 
====Give Up====
If the player takes too long to finish the hole and takes a number of strokes equal to three times the par of the hole, the player will be forced to give up and get a +6 (Par 3 hole), +8 (Par 4 hole) or +10 (Par 5 hole).
 
Players can also give up in a hole after the 1st stroke, but that also means the player will get a +6 (Par 3 hole), +8 (Par 4 hole) or +10 (Par 5 hole). Every game will display a '''GIVE UP''' sign in case of giving up, except in the [[Mario Golf (Nintendo 64)|N64 game]] and ''[[Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour]]'' - in the former game, no score is displayed in case of a Give Up, while the latter game displays '''+6''', '''+8''' or '''+10''' depending on the Par value of the hole. The music that plays upon giving up on a hole is the music for a Double Bogey or lower, except in the N64 game and ''Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour'', where the music that plays in a Give Up is when the player loses a hole in Match Play or fails a Ring Shot. In case of Match Play, a Give Up will result in an automatic loss to the player, in which the other player will automatically win the current hole.


In the online mode of ''Mario Golf: World Tour'', timing out during a turn will also force the player to give up.
====''Super Smash Bros. Melee''====
[[File:Ridley-Cameo-SSBMelee.png|thumb|left|Ridley fighting Samus Aran, in the opening cinematic of ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'']]
Ridley also makes a brief appearance in the opening cinematic of ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', where he can be seen battling his archenemy, Samus Aran. A [[Trophy (Super Smash Bros. series)|trophy]] of Ridley can also be obtained in this game.

====''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''====
[[File:SSBB_Ridley_Battle.png|thumb|Ridley fighting Samus, in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'']]
In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', Ridley is fought twice in the [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl#Subspace Emissary|Subspace Emissary]].


====Gallery====
The first time he is encountered, he is fought by Samus and [[Pikachu]]. As the two reach the exit to [[The Research Facility]], where her Power Suit had been held, Ridley appears without warning and snatches up Samus. Roaring, he slams her into a wall and drags her along it. Pikachu comes to Samus's rescue, hitting the space dragon with a [[Pikachu#Thunder|Thunder]] attack, after which the battle begins. Ridley fights similarly to [[Master Hand]], using many brutal physical attacks. When he is defeated, he falls off the arena.

===Eagle===
As this battle is fought while trying to escape an island, there is a set time limit of two minutes that the player has to defeat Meta Ridley, who is more difficult to beat than Ridley was. Additionally, there is the added difficulty of the battle taking place on top of Captain Falcon's ship, the Falcon Flyer, so it is possible for the player to fall off the edge and lose.
[[File:BabyLuigiEagle.png|thumb|Baby Luigi receiving an Eagle in ''[[Mario Sports Superstars]]''.]]
An '''Eagle''' is a score that is two below par, which improves the player's score by 2. Eagles are scored by a [[#Hole-in-One]] on a Par Three hole, a 2 on a Par Four, or a 3 on a Par Five.


In ''Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour'' and ''Mario Golf: Advance Tour'', Eagle [[Best Badge]]s are green.
Meta Ridley uses some of the same attacks as Ridley did, such as scraping his tail across the top of the Flyer and firing fireballs, but also shows additional ones that involve grabbing the Falcon Flyer and lowering it down with his weight, sometimes even lowering it off of the screen. Fortunately, most of Meta Ridley's attacks can be avoided by jumping off the Falcon Flyer at the right time.  Meta Ridley's fireballs can also be reflected right back at him.


In the Club Slots mode in ''Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour'', Eagles give the player 4 points. When played by Point Play rules in ''Mario Golf: World Tour'', an Eagle is worth 5 points.
If the player manages to defeat Meta Ridley, a cutscene is shown, and the Falcon Flyer escapes while the island is engulfed into subspace.


In the Score Card, Eagles are colored Red (Par 5 holes) or a rainbow type (Par 4 holes) in the [[Mario Golf (Nintendo 64)|''Mario Golf'' for the Nintendo 64]], while they are solid red in ''Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour''.
Both fights are reprised in [[The Great Maze]] with any characters that have been rescued throughout the Subspace Emissary.  He is also fought in the Boss Battles game mode. There is no time limit when fighting Meta Ridley in either The Great Maze or in Boss Battles mode.

[[File:PinkGoldPeachPar.png|thumb|Pink Gold Peach scoring a Par in ''Mario Sports Superstars''.]]
In ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'', Ridley is a stage hazard [[List of bosses|boss]] on the [[Pyrosphere (stage)|Pyrosphere]] stage. His physical appearance, like Samus's, is based on his appearance from ''[[metroidwiki:Metroid: Other M|Metroid: Other M]]''. Once attacked enough by a player, Ridley allies with that player, and attacks the other players. He can also transform into Meta Ridley by absorbing enough energy. He can be defeated, and, as if he was a character, defeating him rewards the player with a K.O. point; he can be defeated by his own ally as well.<ref name="Smash Wii U Direct">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j0BBGzfw0pQ&list=UUGIY_O-8vW4rfX98KlMkvRg Wii U - Super Smash Bros. for Wii U 50-Fact Extravaganza]. Posted to YouTube by Nintendo (October 23, 2014). Retrieved October 23, 2014.</ref>
A '''Par''' is the anticipated average score for a hole, and represents a score of ±0. When the player gets a Par, his or her character reacts mellowly, showing happiness that he or she didn't do bad, but slightly disappointed that he or she didn't do better.
 
The [[Mario Golf (Nintendo 64)|Nintendo 64 version of ''Mario Golf'']] colors Pars in White on the Score Card while ''Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour'' colors Pars in Green on the Score Card.

====In other game modes====
*This is the highest score that will not earn the player a [[Best Badge|Birdie Badge]] in Tournament mode.
*In Ring Shot mode, a Par is required for all holes, otherwise the player will fail the hole, even if they shot through all the rings in that hole.
*When playing Club Slots in ''Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour'' or by Point Play rules in ''Mario Golf: World Tour'', a Par will award the player 2 points.
*The player will fail Birdie Challenge in ''Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour'' by getting a Par or lower score.
*When playing the Cash Cup mode in Coin Attack on ''Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour'', a Par is required, otherwise the player will lose all coins earned in that hole.

===Chip In===
[[File:Chip in-mgwt.jpg|thumb|A Chip In in ''Mario Golf: World Tour''.]]
A '''Chip In''' (also called '''Chip-In''') is a shot that results in from the player striking the ball into the air, not from the green, straight into the cup. If the player strikes the ball from a [[#Bunker|Bunker]] or even the [[#Fairway|Fairway]] and gets it in the cup, it counts as a Chip In. The player gets no extra turns, points, or powers for performing this; it is merely a signal of how well the player is doing.
 
Because of how it is defined, a [[#Hole-in-One|Hole-in-One]] is considered a Chip In.

===Flag Shot===
In addition, he appears in the trailer "A Piercing Screech" which revealed his playable status in the game.
[[File:MG64 Flag Shot.png|thumb|A screenshot of a Flag Shot]]
A '''Flag Shot''' is an event where the player's golf ball hits the flag on the pin sticking out of the hole. The player will only know if the golf ball has hit the flag by a sound effect that plays when the ball makes contact with the flag. It doesn't affect the player's score or power-ups.

===Hole-in-One===
===''Nintendo Land''===
[[File:MetalMarioHoleinOne.jpg|thumb|[[Metal Mario (character)|Metal Mario]] receiving a Hole in One in ''Mario Sports Superstars''.]]
[[File:RidleyNintendoLand.png|thumb|The animatronic Ridley, from ''[[Nintendo Land]]'']]
A '''Hole in One''' is the most difficult shot to achieve - in order to do so, the player must get the golf ball in the hole with one hit (hence the name). A Hole in One can be performed on any hole - they are easiest to perform on Par 3 holes, but they can be performed with more difficulty on Par 4 and 5 holes as well. Usually, only high-powered characters can perform this move.
In ''[[Nintendo Land]]'', an animatronic Ridley appears as a recurring antagonist in the [[metroidwiki:Nintendo Land#Metroid Blast|Metroid Blast]] attraction. Ice Ridley, a version of Ridley unique to this game, also appears.
 
In case of Hole-in-Ones, one less the Par value of the hole is subtracted from the player's score for the course (Par 3 = [[#Eagle|-2]], Par 4 = [[#Albatross|-3]], Par 5 = -4). They are typically shown in place of the actual hole score in the end of hole animation.
 
[[File:MGTT Hole In One Par 4.png|thumb|left|A Hole-in-One on a Par 5 hole in ''Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour''. It is actually a Condor in this instance as it reduces the player's score by 4.]]
In ''Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour'' and ''Mario Golf: Advance Tour'', Hole in One [[Best Badge]]s color are yellow.  The US version of ''Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour'' has errors in identifying Hole-in-Ones: getting them on a Par 4 or Par 5 hole will display it as an Albatross, even though Hole-in-Ones on Par 5 holes reduce the player's score by 4 (like a Condor would) and not 3. Results like these are put under "Albatross" in the Highlights section. Hole-in-Ones done on Par 4 or Par 5 holes in the [https://youtu.be/jhuxhb5mrvc?t=426 European] and the [https://youtu.be/GA_04XrW0iI?t=244 Japanese] versions of the game register correctly. Results like these are put under "Hole-in-One" in the Highlights section.
 
In case of Club Slots in ''Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour'', a Hole-in-One is worth one point more than the Par value of the hole. With Point Play rules in ''Mario Golf: World Tour'', a Hole-in-One is worth 8 points, which is worth the same as an Albatross.
 
In [[Mario Golf (Nintendo 64)|''Mario Golf'' for the Nintendo 64]], Hole-in-Ones are rainbow-colored on the Score Card, while they are a golden color in the ''Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour'' Score Card.

===Nice Shot===

[[File:ToadstoolTour NiceShot fr.png|thumb]]
===''Super Smash Bros. Melee''===
A '''Nice Shot''' is a common event - in order to get a Nice Shot, the player must strike the golf ball with enough strength and stop the meter bar in the sweet spot zone. By getting a Nice Shot, the golf ball is more likely to go on a perfect path, going where guided to. The words "Nice Shot" appear in large colorful letters, alerting the player that he or she has done well, but the player does not earn any extra points, powers, or turns for performing this move. When this is achieved as a perfect power shot, the number of power shots will not decrease.
{| border=1 cellpadding=1 cellspacing=0 width=100%
 
|-
In ''Mario Golf: World Tour'', a Nice Shot is achieved if the rising and falling bar is stopped exactly at the markers of the power meter, (a sound effect will confirm this) giving Miis' and ''[[Mario (franchise)|Mario]]'' characters' golf balls gold and rainbow streaks respectively, in flight. Otherwise, it is only a "Good Shot". A Nice Shot from the tee will make an inset at the bottom right of the Nintendo 3DS top screen appear, showing the character doing a gesture of joy. However, a stroke will not be called a Nice Shot or a Good Shot if the ball does not end up on the green, the fringe, or fairway.

When the player makes a Pin Shot, the words "PIN SHOT!" appear in big letters on the screen. The announcer also says "Pin Shot" at this time. In the [[Mario Golf (Nintendo 64)|''Mario Golf'' for the Nintendo 64]], a Ukiki slides down the pin and makes a sound if a Pin Shot is performed.

*If players do a glitch on Bowser Badlands where they get [https://youtu.be/Pon2AgujcEE?t=235 Negative Strokes] as a result of using mulligans after shooting from the Thwomp, it is possible to get a score better than -4, which results in the announcer saying "Complete!" and the hole played being the last hole of the match.
*Ridley appears in [[Nintendo Monopoly]], in which he takes the place of Tennessee Avenue. He costs $180.
**The [[#Bogey|Double Bogey]] music plays if the player gets a "Complete!" as a result of doing the glitch.
*Ridley's trophies in ''Brawl'' and ''Melee'' both state that he is the head of the Space Pirates on Zebes. This is false however, with the real head being [[Mother Brain]].
*If no controller is connected to the Nintendo 64 when powering on ''Mario Golf'' for the Nintendo 64, the Double Bogey music plays while there is text saying ''"Turn OFF the power and connect a controller."''. This never happens in the Virtual Console releases.
*Due to the time limit that is given during the Meta Ridley battle, [[Trophy Stand]]s will appear more frequently, especially on the easier skill levels.
*Ridley's stock icon for ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'' uses his appearance from ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', instead of his ''[[metroidwiki:Metroid: Other M|Metroid: Other M]]'' appearance.
*Ridley's stock artwork in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' resembles [[:File:SSB4 - Bowser Artwork.png|Bowser's stock artwork]] from ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' / ''Wii U''.
*Ridley's splash screen introduction in his ''Super Smash Bros.

Ultimate}} '''Ridley''' is a high-ranking member of the [[metroidwiki:Space Pirate|Space Pirates]], and one of the main villains in the [[metroidwiki:Metroid (series)|''Metroid'' series]] of video games. He is directly responsible for the murder of [[Samus Aran]]'s [[metroidwiki:Virginia Aran|mother]] and partially responsible for the death of [[metroidwiki:Rodney Aran|her father]]. In several instances, Ridley appears as an upgraded cybernetic version of himself called '''Meta Ridley'''. In addition to the ''Metroid'' series, Ridley has made an appearance in all games in the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]] (aside from ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]''), as well as in ''[[Nintendo Land]]'' in animatronic form. ==History== ===''Super Smash Bros.'' series=== {{SSB Infobox |color=purple |image=Ridley_SSBUltimate.png |name=Ridley |emblem=Metroid Emblem.png |games=''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' |standard= |side= |up= |down= |final= |entrance= }} ====''Super Smash Bros.''==== In ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'', Ridley can occasionally be seen flying in the background of the [[Planet Zebes]] arena. ====''Super Smash Bros. Melee''==== [[File:Ridley-Cameo-SSBMelee.png|thumb|left|Ridley fighting Samus Aran, in the opening cinematic of ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'']] Ridley also makes a brief appearance in the opening cinematic of ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', where he can be seen battling his archenemy, Samus Aran. A [[Trophy (Super Smash Bros. series)|trophy]] of Ridley can also be obtained in this game. {{br}} ====''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''==== [[File:SSBB_Ridley_Battle.png|thumb|Ridley fighting Samus, in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'']] In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', Ridley is fought twice in the [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl#Subspace Emissary|Subspace Emissary]]. The first time he is encountered, he is fought by Samus and [[Pikachu]]. As the two reach the exit to [[The Research Facility]], where her Power Suit had been held, Ridley appears without warning and snatches up Samus. Roaring, he slams her into a wall and drags her along it. Pikachu comes to Samus's rescue, hitting the space dragon with a [[Pikachu#Thunder|Thunder]] attack, after which the battle begins. Ridley fights similarly to [[Master Hand]], using many brutal physical attacks. When he is defeated, he falls off the arena. [[File:Meta_Ridley.jpg|thumb|left|Meta Ridley fighting [[Diddy Kong]].]] He later reappears as '''Meta Ridley''', attacking a group including [[Captain Falcon]], [[Captain Olimar]], [[R.O.B.]], [[Samus Aran]], [[Pikachu]], [[Diddy Kong]], and [[Donkey Kong]] as they try to escape the floating [[Isle of the Ancients]] before it is engulfed in [[Subspace (Super Smash Bros. Brawl)|subspace]]. As this battle is fought while trying to escape an island, there is a set time limit of two minutes that the player has to defeat Meta Ridley, who is more difficult to beat than Ridley was. Additionally, there is the added difficulty of the battle taking place on top of Captain Falcon's ship, the Falcon Flyer, so it is possible for the player to fall off the edge and lose. Meta Ridley uses some of the same attacks as Ridley did, such as scraping his tail across the top of the Flyer and firing fireballs, but also shows additional ones that involve grabbing the Falcon Flyer and lowering it down with his weight, sometimes even lowering it off of the screen. Fortunately, most of Meta Ridley's attacks can be avoided by jumping off the Falcon Flyer at the right time. Meta Ridley's fireballs can also be reflected right back at him. If the player manages to defeat Meta Ridley, a cutscene is shown, and the Falcon Flyer escapes while the island is engulfed into subspace. Both fights are reprised in [[The Great Maze]] with any characters that have been rescued throughout the Subspace Emissary. He is also fought in the Boss Battles game mode. There is no time limit when fighting Meta Ridley in either The Great Maze or in Boss Battles mode. {{br}} ====''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U''==== [[File:Ridley-SSBWiiU.jpg|thumb|left|[[Zero Suit Samus]] and Ridley, in ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'']] In ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'', Ridley is a stage hazard [[List of bosses|boss]] on the [[Pyrosphere (stage)|Pyrosphere]] stage. His physical appearance, like Samus's, is based on his appearance from ''[[metroidwiki:Metroid: Other M|Metroid: Other M]]''. Once attacked enough by a player, Ridley allies with that player, and attacks the other players. He can also transform into Meta Ridley by absorbing enough energy. He can be defeated, and, as if he was a character, defeating him rewards the player with a K.O. point; he can be defeated by his own ally as well.<ref name="Smash Wii U Direct">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j0BBGzfw0pQ&list=UUGIY_O-8vW4rfX98KlMkvRg Wii U - Super Smash Bros. for Wii U 50-Fact Extravaganza].
