Falco's side special move is known as '''[[Falco Phantasm]]''', a move that involves Falco dashing forward whilst leaving afterimages of himself behind. These afterimages can damage opponents, but they are very weak. The move is primarily used as a [[recovery]] move, and although it travels a rather short distance, it is Falco's best option for horizontal recoveries due to its speed. Compared to {{mvsub|Fox|SSBM|side special|alt=Fox Illusion}}, the move from which it is cloned from, Falco Phantasm travels a much shorter distance, but has quicker [[startup]]. The move also [[meteor smash]]es opponents who are hit by the afterimages, though it has very weak knockback and is very easy to [[meteor cancel]].

It is also possible to shorten the length of this move by quickly pressing the B button again after initiating the move. Since Falco travels for 4 frames, the move has 4 shortened lengths. Shortening the move is useful for making it to the [[edge]] whilst avoiding [[gimp]]ing options such as {{mvsub|Marth|SSBM|neutral attack|poss=y}}.
