If we're using boolean variables for the "Boss is beaten" events, then it's actually easier to just check for Ridley. The game checks if the boolean of the "Boss Beaten Event Cleared" is set to true, and then lowers the statue. But the point is, it checks for all four variables, not just one, which in itself implies a lot more code.

Gotta remember that the statue lets a first-time player know what bosses he'll face, and what bosses he's already beaten. Even if the game only reacted to Ridley being beaten, they'd still have to keep variables for all bosses, so the statue knows what boss' been killed and stuff. Then it's just as easy to just add a string checking for Ridley, as a string checking for those other variables that're already there anyway.

Ready and willing.
It's more likely the boss is beaten variable is a 4 bit integer with each bit corresponding to a different boss; these constructs are quite common and save space.
(If you don't quite get what I'm talking about, here's the scoop: you have a number from 0 to 15. But what it really means is more important when you write it out in binary. A value of 9, which is 1001, means that boss A and D have been beaten. A value of 7 is 0111, which means only boss A remains.)
And since A) it's just as easy to check for (value=15) and (value & 1) (assuming the Ridely flag is in the one slot, but it works in any slot), and B) it's eaiser to code the lowering statue transition when you KNOW all the glowing eye sprites are gone, it is, in fact, eaiser to check for everyone rather than just Ridely.

The code for the check would be along the lines of

If Kraid is dead
....          Greyout Kraid statue
....          count + 1
If Phantoon is dead
....          Greyout Phantoon statue
....          count + 1
If Draygon is dead
....          Greyout Draygon statue
....          count + 1
If Ridley is dead
....          Greyout Ridley statue
....          count + 1

If count = 4
....          Open Tourian
--------

If it was going to check if all 4 bosses are dead AND if just Ridley is dead you would need more code there.

Going for just checking if the 4 are dead is easier.

How about something along the lines of...

If Kraid is dead
....          Greyout Kraid statue
If Phantoon is dead
....          Greyout Phantoon statue
If Draygon is dead
....          Greyout Draygon statue
If Ridley is dead
....          Greyout Ridley statue
....          Open Tourian

Or if it did check for Ridley to open the gate, it could JUST check if Ridley were dead, instead of all bosses and Ridley.  That would make more sense.

I assume you are talking about Power Bomb 66 of the No Boss Mini Boss Run Twisted Evil  Evil or Very Mad  Twisted Evil  Evil or Very Mad  Twisted Evil  Evil or Very Mad .

It is the most evil item in all of the NBMB Twisted Evil . Red Scarlet doesn't even get it in her video of the NBMB run. It involves freezing enemies slowly until you can get to it's ledge. The catch? You are underwater with no gravity suit. It has caused nightmares and traumatized lives. Approach at your own risk.

No frozen enemies are used to get PB66, which yeah I suck and can't get.

Wall jumping between two walls.
Underwater.
Without gravity suit.
And a ball-sized hole to get trough.

I spent half an hour the first time on that pb WITH the gravity suit. I was trying to find out how they expected you to get in there without using speed breaking tricks like a rising midair morph (my name for morphing before the peak of your jump and rising up while morhed) or single wall wall-jumps. I also wondered what was so hard about it, before I realized I was under water  Embarassed  then I realized that it would present a challenge for cart players, but it -doesn't- look NEARLY as hard for emulators because of the ease of quick-tapping down on the keyboard.
