    What I don’t get is how for people to actually post a comment for this, wouldn’t they have to be looking up how to find the characters anyways? I didn’t so much look this up for how to unlock the character but rather to find out just who the last character was. And I still don’t see how being a noob is such a bad thing. My nephew got to be ranked number 1 in Australia for Mario Kart and he’s only 7. So we’re all pretty much noobs compared to some people.

    To unlock ridley in ssbb kill tabuu 3 times with samus first in your line and defeat him with only samus 3 times in a row. if samus dies restart.HINT: to dodge tabuus attacks press and hold Z on nunchuck. I hope this helps.

  • dj tito

    yo, thanks, i had everyone exept sonic, jigglipuff and wolf, i went crazy about it! thanks! Oh, and by the way, in the great maze, why does it keep repeting the stages after you go trough the jungle, i dont know what to do!_

  • drew

    i got Wolf but you have to beat SSE or you can’t get him at all. In the Ruins go to wear you go down a thing that will kill you if your not careful go and drop down. After the thing is gone beat the stage and go back to it as FOX and go to the same place and you’ll see a door at the end of the thing. Go in it and get Wolf. PS. you have to beat the game in SSE or you can’t do it. And he is really hard to beat so you have to be good with FOX.!
