Falco Lombardi

Falco Lombardi is one of the main members of Fox's team in the Star Fox series. He appears alongside various Mario characters in the Super Smash Bros. series as a playable fighter and in Super Mario Maker as a costume.
==Profile==
Falco is an ace pilot of the Star Fox team and is well known for his brash and reckless behavior.
In 2002's Star Fox Adventures, Falco is notably missing for nearly the entire game. This is simply due to the fact that he was not able to be properly worked into the plot when Nintendo told Rare to put the Star Fox label on the game. A manga entitled Star Fox: Farewell, Beloved Falco came with the Japanese edition that takes place during the eight-year gap between Star Fox 64 and Adventures. The comic explains Falco's absence, and directly leads up to the events of Adventures. Near the end of the game, Falco aids Fox during the final boss fight and shortly appears again to join the other main characters in the ending cutscene.
In Assault, Falco is part of the core team again under the title of "Ace Pilot" and he's more tame. Every one of the story mode's missions has Falco in his Arwing, as he never joins Fox on foot like Slippy and Krystal.
In Star Fox Command, Falco has again isolated himself from the rest of the characters, though he is still considered to be a member of Star Fox. Falco, like all, pilots a customized vehicle, his own being the Sky Claw, a slim Arwing-like fighter with forward-swept wings armed with a single laser and a multi-lock.
