Captain Falcon has appeared in the ''Smash Bros.'' series from [[Super Smash Bros.|the start]], but as his incarnation from ''F-Zero X'' for N64. He is an unlockable fighter, and his unlocking condition is for the player to complete the One-Player mode within 20 minutes, and defeat him in a match to earn him.

He is an unlockable fighter, and his unlocking condition is for the player to complete the One-Player mode within 20 minutes, and defeat him in a match to earn him. Like {{SSB|Ness}} and {{SSB)|Jigglypuff}}, he does not make an appearance in the game's One-Player mode. His entrance into a battle is to zoom in on the [[Blue Falcon]] and park for him to jump out, and the machine zooms into the background to vanish. His default costume is purple as opposed to the usual blue. One of his alternate costumes is colored to resemble [[Blood Falcon]]. | ||
Captain Falcon's special moves are the [[Falcon Punch]], his [[neutral special move]], a slow but powerful charge-up punch attack; the [[Falcon Dive]], his [[up special move|up special]], a repeatable move involving a jump upward, grabbing any opponent he comes in contact with, followed by an explosion of sorts; and the [[Falcon Kick]], his [[down special move|down special]], a maneuver where he shoots downward from midair or forward on the ground with a flaming kick extended. | Captain Falcon's special moves are the [[Falcon Punch]], his [[neutral special move]], a slow but powerful charge-up punch attack; the [[Falcon Dive]], his [[up special move|up special]], a repeatable move involving a jump upward, grabbing any opponent he comes in contact with, followed by an explosion of sorts; and the [[Falcon Kick]], his [[down special move|down special]], a maneuver where he shoots downward from midair or forward on the ground with a flaming kick extended. | ||

In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', he has reverted back to [[secret character]] status and has since lost his title of fastest character to {{SSBB|Sonic}}. His moves are largely unchanged from the previous games, except he can do a reverse Falcon Punch. His design is a mix between his ''F-Zero X'' and ''F-Zero GX'' design, with his scarf hanging out instead of being tucked in. His Final Smash is his Blue Falcon, which he calls for then rams into opponents. His home stages are [[Port Town Aero Dive]] and [[Big Blue]]. | In ''[[Super Smash Bros.

Falcon's position has fallen from one of the highest in ''SSB'' and ''Melee'' to one of the lowest in the [[tier list]] in ''Brawl''.

*Captain Falcon carries a gun in his holster, but never uses it in ''Super Smash Bros.'' This is similar to [[Ganondorf]] and his sword ''Melee'' onward (although he does use it for his custom neutral special move, Warlock Blade), [[Sheik]] and her knife in ''Brawl'' onward, and [[Snake]] and his handgun in ''Brawl''. | *Captain Falcon carries a gun in his holster, but never uses it in ''Super Smash Bros.''
