This may be a stretch but, barring any size reductions, couldn't Ridley's SSB4 form just be a new body? Like "Mini-Ridley" or "Kid Ridley", but the character would still be called Ridley.

Heh, yeah, I was thinking of that too, I guess I forgot to mention it in my post. Like, after getting his ass handed to him in Brawl (twice!) the Space Pirates were like "let's make him a new specialized body that's fast and small so he can take the fight straight to his opponents" or something. I mean, Ridley's the most familiar to body swaps out of just about any video game character except Zero, and it sounds like something stupid the Space Pirates would put Ridley through, because on top of being their leader he's basically their scientific plaything. I'd be fine with that I guess. Would still be a little weird for me, but I could deal with that explanation.
