Ridley: A Theory and Playability and Boss Status

[Lechteron]

Hypothesis:
Ridley is both a playable character and a boss on Pyrosphere.

But how could this be done?
The same way that Male Wii Fit Trainer is playable, alternate costumes. The fact is that we currently have a large, dragon-esque playable character in Charizard and what would Charizard's alternate costume be? They could easily make him taller, skinnier, and hunched more to be Ridley in much the same way that Male Trainer is broader and is smaller in the chest.

But Ridley uses different moves than Charizard!
This is true but with the changes we saw to Mario's fireballs from the custom move portion of the Direct it seems that some relatively sweeping changes can be made. This could easily cover Ridley's attacks much in the same way that Mario could have a Dr. Mario costume and his fireballs could become pills. Hmm. Perhaps the costume change can cover the move aesthetics as well so Mario could have slow, giant pills or small, fast, straight flying pills while in the Dr. Mario costume. But I'm digressing.

But we saw Mega Charizard X, what happens then?
Simple! Meta-Ridley.

Good logic. Now go post it in the Ridley thread because this is going to get locked.

There is already a thread to discuss Ridley here, feel free to post your theory there.
