[b]Palutena's Guidance:[/b]

Pit: Oh no! It’s the space pterodactyl of doom!

Palutena: That’s Ridley, the leader of the Space Pirates. He is also Samus’ eternal arch-nemesis, for they go back a long way.
Viridi: I heard that when Samus was a little girl, her home planet was raided by the Space Pirates, Ridley would’ve exterminated her if her mother wasn’t there to push her out of the way and sacrifice herself! That takes some serious gut right there.

Pit: Ouch! And what happened to her dad?

Palutena: Focus Pit. Ridley may be slow on the ground, but is incredibly fast when in the air. Keep an eye on what he’s up to.
Viridi: Watch out for his corkscrew! Don’t bother blocking that move, just get out of the way and quickly counterattack him from behind.

Pit: Hmmm, now that I look at him, isn't he supposed to be in the Pyrosphere… and a lot bigger?
Palutena: That Ridley's just a clone. The one in front of you is the original. However, they fight more or less the same. You can keep him at bay with your arrows, but don’t rely on them too much.
Pit: Right. I guess I’ll just stay back and keep on shooting.
