Ridley still can be a playable character. And his substitution can still be another form of Ridley (Meta/Omega/Robo-Ridley).

Why would him being a stage boss and playable character not be right? Toon Link can be a bg char and a playable char too right? And why would the game balance go 'down the drain'? Please support that statement. Before Toon Link became playable, he was a background cameo, not a stage boss, so he's excusable.

Again, Ridley being both stage boss and playable would never work. Nothing you or anyone else can say can have Sakurai "make it work". And simple, if Ridley is, by any chance, playable, it can ruin the game balance. That's what I mean by "down the drain" and a "waste of space". Bottom line, Ridley will be accepted as a stage boss of the Pyrosphere stage, no substitutions, end of story. His fate is sealed.
