Ridley charges his energy whilst cloaked in a purple aura before flying straight upward; this move can be angled to fly four other directions with the trajectory dependent on the direction Wing Blitz was inputted: slightly downward when angled forward, slightly upwards when angled backward, straight up if left alone or held up, and slightly forward if angled downward (which meteor smashes opponents at least near the start-up of the move). The move deals damage to enemies along the way, with the earliest hit dealing exceptionally high knockback. If Ridley hits a wall, he will rebound with some vertical momentum. It can be used as an [[edgeguard]] by going off stage and aiming downward at the edge, letting Ridley hit the opponent before grabbing onto it and meteor smashing them.

The move deals damage to enemies along the way, with the entire move acting as a hitbox that doesn't lose power, and the tackle doing excellent knockback throughout.

The spiked tips of Ridley's wings lack hurtboxes and have high priority, and thus can challenge various projectiles and attacks during the move's forward, backward, or upward trajectories. Ridley himself, however, lacks any sort of armor or priority, so precision is necessary to utilize this aspect well. Due to Ridley's size and limited directions, this can be difficult to execute, though can allow Ridley to safely recover without damage if done correctly.
