First turn the power off on your Gameboy, then insert either Metroid: Zero Mission, Metroid 4: Fusion or NES Classics Series: Metroid and turn the power back on. Ridley is the commander or general to the Space Pirates and is not on SR388 at any time in Return of Samus.
If playing Zero Mission: As soon as the fight starts, shoot the smaller fireballs that are headed straight for you and wait for Ridley to fly a little higher. Get under him and move in unison with him while aiming straight up and unloading all your super or normal missles. You might need to try this a few times to get the timing right, but if you stay in unison his tail or foot cant hurt you and he cant grab you with his claws. He'll eventually shoot out some larger fireballs that can be destoyed and leave behind ammo and energy if you need them, but I can kill him without getting hurt once using this method.
If playing Fusion: (with Diffusion Missles or Charge Beam) stand in the right hand corner and fire away, when he swoops down to grab you, turn in to a ball and go all the way left. When he's done charging at you, go back to the right of the screen and continue firing. (Glitched Method) Let Ridley grab you at the start of the fight, if you're lucky you can aim yourself to the left and Ridley will drop you in an alcove where he can no longer hurt you, but you can continue to fire at him.
If playing Metroid Classic: (with Ice Beam) Shoot his fireballs and at mid-level and then stand on one and unleash as many missles as possible. When the fireballs unfreeze he should be close to death so either freezae them again or just pelt him. (with Wave Beam) Jump in to the lava with Varia Suit and get directly beneath Ridley, aim and shoot. No pain method: Use your morphball on the rigvht platform, the fireballs wont hit you in morphball form. When he's done firing them drop down and pelt him, as soon as he starts his fireballs again, get on the right platform and morph.
