Phase 1 plays out more or less like the final battle did in the original Metroid. Mother Brain is Super Metroid’s final boss and actually has two phases this time around.

This is especially handy since Ridley rips through health if the fight lasts long enough. You won’t be able to fire as often or as aggressively, but the extra damage Ridley takes from a Charge Shot will add up and kill him faster. While logic dictates that you should unload all your Super Missiles and Missiles into Ridley, he’s actually fairly resistant to both weapon types. Ridley will fly into the air, forcing you to fire straight up or diagonally. Falling in will deal damage to Samus even with the Gravity Suit equipped, so you need to keep stable on a very short platform. Round 2 with Ridley is much harder, both on account of his far more aggressive attack pattern and tighter boss arena surrounded by magma.

The first battle against Ridley is simple enough and mostly scripted. Ridley is actually fought twice in Super Metroid, once in Space Station Ceres during the prologue and again down in Lower Norfair.
