Captain Falcon, Super Smash Bros.

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, he appeared as a secret character in the first game, then returned as a default one in the sequel. But in its sequel, Super Smash Bros. Brawl, he appears as an unlockable character.

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's Home-Run Contest using the Homerun Bat. According to the trophy information of the Star Rod, it has the most power when it is used with a Smash Attack of Captain Falcon or Sheik.

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 abilites, but is slower and has more powerful attacks. Captain Falcon is voiced by Ryo Horikawa.

Role 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 Bombs 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 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.

Usually a relentless bounty hunter, Captain Falcon shifts gears to become a race pilot once the F-Zero Grand Prix begins.

(Adventure)
B: Falcon Punch
Smash B: Raptor Boost
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.

(All-Star)
Up & B: Falcon Dive
Down & B: Falcon Kick
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.

The enemy gets sent to a racetrack, at which point the Blue Falcon screams down at a ridiculous speed and launches the unlucky victim. What track is it? Where did the machine come from? This is one technique that's an utter mystery.

Trivia

  • 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 red alloy in Super Smash Bros. Brawl appears to look like Captain Falcon just like the male wire frame.
