### Debut

Super Smash Bros. (N64)

Captain Falcon is the pilot of the Blue Falcon, and is also a fighter in the Super Smash Bros. series since the first game.

## Personality

Unlike his portrayal in the Mainverse games, Captain Falcon in Smash Bros. has a more exaggerated personality, often leaving him the center of mischaracterization by fans and people who aren't fully aware of how he truly is.

Despite his general good guy hero type of personality in the Mainverse games, his personality in the Super Smash Bros. series has altered him, and made him a little too overconfident and bold, almost to the point of exaggeration.

He has also had moments where he accidentally killed Olimar's pikmin in Subspace Emissary by sliding into them after landing a Falcon Punch on a giant R.O.B., and notably incapacitating Chrom and almost Lucina before Robin arrived.

His seemingly obnoxious and loud behavior (also what contributes to his 'meme' status: "Falcon Punch!", "Show Me Ya Moves!", etc.) only witnessed in Super Smash Bros. has also made him the center of many mischaracterizations by fans. But even so, he still has his moments of being a hero or just plain kindness in Smash, such as when he took over Min Min's shift as she went to obtain her Smash Bros. invitation.

## Super Smash Bros. [N64] (1999)

Captain Falcon appears in the first Super Smash Bros. game in a design loosely based on his F-Zero X appearance, making him 36 years old. He comes in 6 color palettes which include references to F-Zero content.

1. **Normal (Purple and orange.)**
2. **F-Zero X Commercial ? (Black)**
3. **Blood Falcon (Red and Purple)**
4. **Jody Summer (Pink and White)**
5. **Wild Goose? (Green)**
6. **His actual F-Zero X colors (Blue).**

## Super Smash Bros. Melee (2001)

 **Falcon Flyer:** Captain Falcon's speedy midsize star cruiser boasts an on-board computer that allows Falcon to control it remotely ... perhaps that's why it's never appeared on-screen in an F-Zero game. Without this ship, Falcon couldn't prowl the galaxy like a lone wolf: the Blue Falcon is a state-of-the-art machine, but it's only used for F-Zero races.

Captain Falcon appears in the second Super Smash Bros. game in a design more closely resembling his F-Zero X appearance, making him 36 years old again. He comes in 6 color palettes which include references to F-Zero content.

1. **Normal**
2. **F-Zero X Commercial? (Black)**
3. **Blood Falcon (Red and Purple)**
4. **Jody Summer (Pink and White)**
5. **Wild Goose? (Green)**
6. **Light Blue**

His Blood Falcon palette comes with a different design on the back, which is interesting, considering that Melee came out before GX, and GX Blood Falcon did not have anything on his back.

## Super Smash Bros. Brawl (2008)

 **Falcon Flyer:** Captain Falcon's speedy, midsized galactic cruiser, equipped with an onboard computer. Captain Falcon uses the Falcon Flyer mainly to track down criminals when he's plying his trade as a bounty hunter. Of course, it also comes in handy for transporting and maintaining the Blue Falcon. The Falcon Flyer is an exceedingly reliable partner.

It has also been 5 real life years since F-Zero GX.

He has a whole face modeled under his helmet, even with an eye that appears to be a light dull blue color. His brown hair is also visible under the helmet as well.

### **Subspace Emissary**

Captain Falcon first appears in the Adventure Mode: Subspace Emissary when Olimar and his pikmin attempt to handle a giant R.O.B.

A pikmin gets Olimar's attention and points to the distance. The Blue Falcon, and its pilot (with crossed arms) steadily approach the scene before ejecting its pilot. Falcon manages to land a Falcon Punch on the giant R.O.B., successfully bringing it down, but sliding into a group of Olimar's pikmin and accidentally killing them.

Later, upon seeing familiar faces in the distance, Falcon grabs a reluctant Olimar and jumps off the edge with a grin.

At another point, after some of the fighters are unable to save the other R.O.B.s, Falcon calls for his Falcon Flyer and gestures for the group to follow him. This is probably the only time Falcon’s visor has shown something other than his two triangles, as green details appeared on the visor. There also seems to be something on his glove that he taps on to call the Flyer, which may be a set of virtual keys.

He is present when the entire roster of fighters (with exceptions such as Wolf and Toon Link) approach the entrance to Subspace in order to face Tabuu. But upon being turned into a trophy, Falcon must be recovered in the Great Maze.

Falcon also appears among the lineup of characters standing by the cliffside.

## Super Smash Bros. for 3DS & Wii U (2014)

 **PAL bio:** We love it when this F-Zero pilot from Port Town takes a break from racing the Blue Falcon to take on challengers in brawls. His balance of speed, power and weight is spot on, and his slow but mighty Falcon Punch is oh so sweet when it finally connects. Try starting the attack in mid-air and punching your way into a frantic fray!

 **US SNES Blue Falcon:** The trademark vehicle of famed bounty hunter Captain Falcon. Both of their names refer to the bird's ability to swoop in and capture its prey—a subtle nod to Captain Falcon's bounty-hunting exploits. The Blue Falcon itself is a well-rounded vehicle, allowing the pilot's talent to really show.

 **Falcon Flyer:** The treasured ship of the bounty hunter Captain Falcon. Don't get this confused with the Blue Falcon, his F-Zero machine. The nose looks like a falcon, reflecting Captain Falcon's dauntless pursuit of his prey. Beware, bounty heads! Captain Falcon will track you down!

**PAL Falcon Flyer:** Captain Falcon's beloved ship. However, it isn't so much a racing machine as it is his personal base of operations, used for chasing down his targets as a bounty hunter. A ship with style and substance, it's the perfect fit for our intrepid hero as he scours the galaxy!

Unlike Brawl, Falcon's full face is not modeled underneath his helmet. As such, he has no visible eyes.

Captain Falcon interestingly has a palette based directly on his Anime Universe counterpart, Andy Summer. **However, Trophy Data clearly states that Smash Bros Captain Falcon and the other F-Zero character trophies made their last appearance in F-Zero GX. So there is no Animeverse content to be found in Smash Bros, aside from Zoda's odd US Trophy Data** *(the part about being modified by Black Shadow)* **which may have been a mistake. In other words, Smash Falcon is not Andy Summer.**

### **By Book, Blade, and Crest of Flame**

Captain Falcon gave a ‘warm and friendly’ welcome *(A near Falcon Punch)* to Lucina and technically Chrom, just before Robin came along to help Lucina. Both Robin and Lucina were revealed to be fighters for the game.

## **Super Smash Bros. Ultimate (2018-Present)**

**As Super Smash Bros. Ultimate no longer uses Trophies, there are no official given descriptions for the game's characters.**

Captain Falcon, however, retains his previous Smash game appearance, and color palettes. As Brawl and anything afterwards were released post-F-Zero GX, Falcon is still 37. As of Ultimate's release, it has been been 15 real life years since GX, and Falcon has not had an F-Zero game of his own since 2003.

He has been given slight adjustments to his moveset this time around. That aside, there’s been very small details added to his attire, showing signs of wear in his helmet and suit. Despite his tan complexion arguably as early as F-Zero GX, but more visibly seen in Super Smash Bros. for 3DS & Wii U, Falcon has been depicted with much lighter skin at times in Ultimate for some reason.

His Fighter Spirit is unlocked through beating his classic mode. The Spirit illustration is his F-Zero GX render, but it can be swapped for his Ultimate render.

Though Ryo Horikawa reprises the voice role through re-used clips, he was brought in to record new lines (albeit more like slurping sound effects and a very subtle "Hm?") during Min Min's reveal trailer, as Falcon was seen enjoying ramen.

Falcon also makes an appearance in a commercial for SSBU, in the style of the mural of fighters. *(Not the classic mode mural.)*

### **World of Light**

He appears in World of Light, as one of the many fighters ready to face an army of Master Hands. When a rift opened up, beams of light struck various fighters, some of who fought back valiantly or tried to evade or escape. Falcon, jumping too high before being able to get into his machine, the Blue Falcon, was caught by the beam.

He is later seen among the ranks of Galeem’s possessed fighters, to which Kirby and a few of the starter fighters help to free. Various puppet copies of him are still encountered, however. By the end of the mode, another big adventure comes to a close, and everyone’s Spirits are back in their respective bodies and back in their respective worlds.

### **Heroic Encounter**

A Dharkon puppet Falcon appears in the Dragon Quest Hero’s reveal trailer.

### **Ramen Time!**

Falcon is brought back once more, enjoying some ramen with Kirby at his side in Min Min’s reveal trailer. He ends up taking Min Min’s shift at the Mintendo Noodle House as she heads to the ARMS tournament and gets the Smash Bros. invitation.

### **Mr. Sakurai Presents "Kazuya"**

Falcon appears briefly as one of the opposing fighters against newcomer Kazuya Mishima from the Tekken series. Kazuya defeats him and carries his body to the edge of a cliff, and tosses Falcon into a volcano, much like the other fighters the former has defeated.

### **Mr. Sakurai Presents "Sora"**

Falcon is seen very briefly among the entire roster, having been turned back into a trophy as the Smash Bros' flaming symbol fades into a single small flame on the ground. He is later 'revived' and is seen one last time, watching the final newcomer Sora, of the Kingdom Hearts series fly around everyone.
