Or Ridley could just be a secret character. You know, not announced before the release date but one you have to discover in the game.

And after these two screenshots you still can't admit that Ridley's size is not the problem? Every goddamn character in the game has been resized (Olimar is smaller than a battery and Bowser is a different size in each game).

Also not to forget Ridley appears in a different form in each game. When he dies a new Ridley is reborn.
