Version Differences: Meta Ridley

Notes:

Meta Ridley's ground phase was heavily altered for the Japanese, European and Australian versions of the game.
The boss can be successfully stunned using lock-on as he leans back to charge in the Japanese, European and Australian versions.
He was given a new "power stomp" attack in the Japanese, European and Australian versions.
The Wavebuster is not nearly as effective in the Japanese, European and Australian versions as it is in the North American version of the game.
Meta Ridley drops Ultra Energies in the Japanese, European and Australian versions of the game when:
1. His attacks destroy a pillar entirely (since his non-physical attacks take 3 hits before completely destroying a pillar)
2. When you are able to stun Ridley in the split second before he charges (with the plasma beam on hard mode, one charged shot and one regular shot before he closes his mouth)
