As a Whole

 * 1) Meta Ridley himself is an excellent antagonist, and a stable of the Metroid series.

Metroid Prime

 * 1) The intro of the battle is really intense, Meta Ridley destroys the entrance to the Impact Crater, making him go way too far.

 * 3) Meta Ridley has a selection of flashy attacks, one such example is his Kinetic Breath Weapon.
 * 4) Incredible atmosphere, taking place in a palace while rain pours down.
 * 5) In the first stage, you fight Ridley while he's flying, and as such, your literary blasting Meta Ridley right out of the sky.
 * 6) In the second phase, you then fight Ridley while he's on the ground, but don't think that will make him easier.
 * 7) In the second phase Ridley gains a new attack, which involves charging into Samus.
 * 8) The way you now exposed Ridley's weakspot is creative, you have to shoot at Meta Ridley's mouth so that it will stun him, so you can then blast him in his chest.
 * 9) The second phase is easily the best part about this fight, you are facing Metal Ridley one-on-one, on the ground.
 * 10) Overall very fun and challenging but fair battle, which works considering that Meta Ridley is the last boss before the final boss.
 * 11) The ending after the battle is epic, the Temple activates, shoots Ridley in the chest which sents him flying into the abyss, and the Chozo Ghost opens up the way to the Impact Crater.

Metroid Prime 3

 * 4) Meta Ridley has even more creative attacks, such as launching out flame bombs, and a homing fireball.
 * 5) Despite this boss having a time limit, its not all that bad.
 * 6) During the section were Ridley grabs you, The way that you have to literary aim you shots at the part that Meta Ridley is about too attack you with, so that you can attach his now gaping maw after being stun us freaking cleaver.
 * 7) After the battle, Samus preforms a sweet finisher on Meta Ridley.
 * 8) Despite all of this, Meta Ridley is only the second boss.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) The New Play Control!/Metroid Prime Trilogy version of Metroid Prime can make the fight a bit too hard for first-time players if they have the Free-Aim on.
 * 2) Meta Ridley's fight in Metroid Prime 3: Corruption can be considered too easy, tho that is neglected considering that he is only the second boss.
