Okay I haven't read all of this however going to give my opinion nonetheless.

I think Ridley should be in because Metroid only has two reps yet it is one of Nintendo's biggest franchises. It is hard to give more reps because Samus pretty much is the only protagonist, however it deserves more than two reps, especially if a series like Star Fox which is very outdated has three.

Ridley is the best choice for that because he has been the most recurring villain in the Metroid games. You could compare Ridley with Ganon as he keep reincarnating for each games. Ridley also plays a major part in Samus' history.

Ridley also isn't too big with reasons other people already have said. And he still could be a stage hazard however maybe like Toon Link on the Spirit Train stage it gets replaced by another version of Ridley. I just want to say with this that Ridley has a chance to be playable, but if he isn't then he isn't. I want him but if he just is a stage hazard I would be okay with it.
