'''Captain Falcon''' (full name '''Captain Douglas Jay Falcon''') is an F-Zero racer, and also a secret bounty hunter with a mysterious past. In the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]], he appeared as a secret character in ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'', then returned as a default one in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee|Melee]]''. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl|Brawl]]'', he appears as an unlockable character again.

==History==
===''Super Smash Bros.'' series===
In ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', he is the fastest character. His attacks, however, despite being powerful, are slow. The only exception is his attack when repeatedly pressing the A button. In ''Super Smash Bros.'', he was an unlockable character, unlocked by beating 1-P Mode in under 20 minutes with any character, and then beating him. However, in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'', he was a default character. He also received the Dash-B attack, [[Raptor Boost]], in Melee.

Captain Falcon has a unique way of using weapons. For example, Captain Falcon is unable to smash the [[Sandbag]] away in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s Home-Run Contest using the [[Homerun Bat]]. According to the [[trophy]] information of the [[Star Rod (Super Smash Bros.)|Star Rod]], it has the most power when it is used with a Smash Attack of Captain Falcon or [[Sheik]]. 

====''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''====
Captain Falcon appears as a playable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', but is no longer the fastest character in the game, being beaten only by [[Sonic the Hedgehog]]. Captain Falcon's fighting techniques are shared with [[Ganondorf]], who has similar abilities, but is slower and has more powerful attacks. Captain Falcon is voiced by ''Ryo Horikawa''.

=====The Subspace Emissary=====
[[Image:Subspace_captainfalcon.PNG|thumb|left|Captain Falcon's snapshot in The Subspace Emissary.]]
In the [[Subspace Emissary]], Captain Falcon saves [[Captain Olimar]] from an enormous [[R.O.B.]] Later, he and Olimar save [[Donkey Kong]] with the help of [[Diddy Kong]], and they join a team with them. Later, after getting in the Subspace Factory, they meet up with [[Samus Aran]] and [[Pikachu]] but soon, [[Ganondorf]] appears and gets all R.O.B.s in the factory to burn the [[Ancient Minister]] detonate [[Subspace Bomb]]s to create a giant hole in space. The Minister turns out to be a R.O.B. himself, who joins Falcon's team, and then, after the [[Subspace Army]] is taken care of, the whole team decides to leave the area.

Captain Falcon calls his [[Falcon Flyer]] and after everyone gets on they all fly to [[the Canyon]] where they meet up with everyone else. Before that though, [[Meta Ridley]] attacks but he is taken care of. Everyone enters [[Subspace (SSB)|Subspace]] and find themselves being turned into trophies by [[Tabuu]]. [[King Dedede]] and his group then arrive and revive Captain Falcon and most of the others until everyone is revived and able to take on Tabuu.

==Special Moves==
===Falcon Punch===
[[Image:C._Falcon's_Falcon_Punch.jpg|thumb|200px|right|The '''Falcon Punch'''.]]
'''Falcon Punch''' is an attack that Captain Falcon can use in all ''[[Super Smash Bros. Series|Super Smash Bros. games]]''. It is performed by simply pressing the B Button. If the [[player]] uses this move, Captain Falcon will hold his arm back, charge it up, and then push forward, devastating anyone he hits. However, if Captain Falcon is attacked during the charging process, he will lose focus and he will cancel the attack. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', Captain Falcon can turn around during the charge up. If he turns around and succeeds, the Falcon Punch will have more power. The attack is best used when the player is getting up from a previous blow. Interestingly, when Captain Falcon succeeds in the attack, the fire that appears around his hand takes on the shape of a falcon. The player can also hear a falcon squawk when doing this. [[Ganondorf]]'s [[Ganondorf#Warlock Punch|Warlock Punch]] works the same way as Falcon Punch. [[Kirby]] will be able to use this move if he uses [[Kirby#Inhale|Swallow]] on Captain Falcon; Kirby will even say "Falcon Punch" in his high, squeaky voice when using the attack.
<br clear=all>

===Raptor Boost===
[[Image:C._Falcon's_Raptor_Boost.jpg|thumb|left|The '''Raptor Boost'''.]]
'''Raptor Boost''' is a [[Super Smash Bros. Special Moves|special attack]] that Captain Falcon is able to use in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. The player must tilt the control stick to the side and then press the special move button. Captain Falcon will proceed to do a very swift punch, and hit anyone who gets in the way. He will then send them flying straight up, which can leave them open to use Captain Falcon's [[#Falcon Dive|Falcon Dive]]. However, he will stumble and fall forward if he misses his target.  If Captain Falcon falls off an edge while using this move, he'll become helpless, and will not be able to recover.

If Captain Falcon executes this move in the air, the move will send his opponent downwards, which would make the move act as a [[Meteor Smash]].  However, using this move while airborne does leave him helpless afterwords.  There is a very similar attack of [[Ganondorf|Ganondorf's]], called [[Ganondorf#Gerudo Dragon|Gerudo Dragon]]. However, this attack sends the opponent flying diagonally upwards, regardless of whether or not the move is used in the air or not.

This move isn't exactly a reliable recovery move, since Captain Falcon can't grab hold of any ledges while using it.
<br clear=all>
===Falcon Dive===
[[Image:C._Falcon's_Falcon_Dive.jpg|thumb|200px|right|The '''Falcon Dive'''.]]
'''Falcon Dive''' is a [[Super Smash Bros. Special Moves|special move]] that Captain Falcon can use in all three ''[[Super Smash Bros. series|Super Smash Bros. games]]''. It is executed by tilting the control stick up, and pushing the special move button. Captain Falcon will then proceed to punch upwards, acting as a third jump. As an added bonus, if he hits an opponent on the way up, he will grab them and cause an explosion, sending the two separate ways, and sending the other player flying far. This can even act as fourth jump, if the user is lucky enough to hit someone. Captain Falcon will be able to use this attack over and over again in one jump, but only if he manages to hit someone each time. [[Ganondorf|Ganondorf's]] attack [[Ganondorf#Dark Dive|Dark Dive]], is the exact same as Falcon Dive.
<br clear=all>
===Falcon Kick===
[[Image:C._Falcon's_Falcon_Kick.jpg|thumb|200px|left|The '''Falcon Kick'''.]]
[[Image:Falcon_Kick_Air.jpg|thumb|160px|right|The '''Falcon Kick''' when used in the air.]]
'''Falcon Kick''' is a [[Super Smash Bros. Special Moves|special attack]] performed by Captain Falcon in the ''[[Super Smash Bros. (series)|Super Smash Bros. series]]''. To execute, the player has to press the special move button while tilting the control stick down. Captain Falcon will then kick across the ground, hurting anyone who is in the way. It can be used on the ground or mid-air. If performed in the air, Captain Falcon will kick the ground diagonally, depending on which way he's facing, hurting anyone he hits. This can be dangerous if done near an edge. If done on the ground, he will slide across the ground, kicking anyone he comes in contact with. A similar move is [[Ganondorf|Ganondorf's]] [[Ganondorf#Wizard's Foot|Wizard's Foot]].

===Final Smash: Blue Falcon===
[[Image:Blue_Falcon2.jpg|thumb|200px|right|The '''Blue Falcon'''.]]
[[Image:Blue_Falcon.jpg|thumb|160px|left|The '''Blue Falcon''' hits Captain Falcon's opponents.]]
The Blue Falcon is Captain Falcon's [[Final Smash]]. Here, Captain Falcon calls the vehicle once he obtains the [[Smash Ball]], and it drives past at high speed and hits anybody next to the captain. The victims land on a track, where Captain Falcon speeds towards them and runs them over. When returning to the stage, the victims are automatically sent flying. The Blue Falcon is the only Final Smash to feature a cinematic cutscene. Because it is a Final Smash, the Blue Falcon has its own trophy instead of sharing one with Captain Falcon. It also has a [[Sticker|sticker]] in the game.

| Usually a relentless bounty hunter, Captain Falcon shifts gears to become a race pilot once the F-Zero Grand Prix begins. His beloved racer, the Blue Falcon, can exceed the speed of sound, and he knows how to drive it; he'll go down as one of the all time-greats. Now 36 years old, Captain Falcon wears his F-Zero X visor.

| Falcon's style is a balanced combination of raw power and speed. His attacks are slow, but when combined with Falcon's high mobility, he's a formidable combat force. The Falcon Punch packs the highest degree of destructive power, while the explosive Raptor Boost can be used to smash airborne foes into the depths.

| The Knee Smash, used in midair on foes in front of you, is slow and has a short reach, but if it connects, it'll send foes flying a long way on a low trajectory. Falcon uses his Falcon Dive to grab an enemy in midair and fling them away with an explosive blast. He can do this technique repeatedly without landing, so it can also be used as a recovery move.

This is one technique that's an utter mystery.

==Trivia==
*Captain Falcon has had a total of six different outfits in all three installments of the ''Super Smash Bros. series''.  None of the other characters have that many outfits in ''Super Smash Bros.'' (except for [[Yoshi]], but only four of his six recolors were playable).
*One of Captain Falcon's alternate costumes is that of his evil clone, Blood Falcon. He wears his red clothing, and even has a patch on his uniform saying "25 - Blood Hawk", which corresponds to number and name of Blood Falcon's own [[F-Zero Racer]] (which is called "Hell Hawk" in Japan). His All-Star trophy in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'' depicts him with this costume. The only difference from this alternate costume and Blood Falcon's design, actually, is the emblem on the helmet, which is still the falcon emblem (Blood Falcon has a skull emblazoned on his helmet).
*Although he didn't make a personal appearance, his F-Zero racer, the [[Blue Falcon]], appeared in [[Nintendo Monopoly]]. It acted as a Station, replaced Pennsylvania Railroad, and cost $200, just like all stations.
*A model of Captain Falcon's Blue Falcon can be seen inside [[Hinopio]]'s Hino Mart in ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]''. 
*The Male Wire Frame and Red Alloy were modeled after Falcon; having some of the exact same attacks. The Wire Frame and Alloy also look like Falcon.
*A small-sized vehicle in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'' is modeled after Captian Falcon's vehicle, the Blue Falcon, and also shares the exact same name.
