Falco quickly dashes at the opponent, leaving a trail of blueish-tinted afterimages behind him. The opponent can be hit by Falco or any one of the afterimages. Despite the fact that the move is an [[attack]], it is rarely used as such; it is primarily used as a [[recovery]] technique, due to its speed. When used as an attack, it deals about 7% [[damage]] and is a meteor smash, although it usually only inadvertently hits opponents that are careless.

In ''Melee'' and ''Brawl'', like the [[Fox Illusion]] and [[Wolf Flash]], the Falco Phantasm can be ended early by pressing the button for a [[special move]] before its animation is complete, but a few [[frames]] must pass by before it will work. An easy way to time the canceling of this move would be to press the special button at the exact point the high pitched 'cling' noise is played. While not an ideal move for [[KO]]ing, the move's [[meteor smash]] can be useful for counter [[edgeguarding]] while recovering, but is highly unlikely to KO the opponent even at high percentages, as it is exceedingly weak. The Phantasm can also be used for a very swift approach. [[Short hop]]ping slightly increases the distance traveled. It, along with the Fox Illusion, can be reversed by quickly tapping the [[control stick]] in the opposite direction. The sparkle will stay in its original position, which can lead to [[mindgame]]s.
