In 2002's ''Star Fox Adventures'', Falco is notably missing for nearly the entire game. This is simply due to the fact that he was not able to be properly worked into the plot when Nintendo told Rare to put the ''Star Fox'' label on the game. A manga entitled ''Star Fox: Farewell, Beloved Falco'' came with the Japanese edition that takes place during the eight-year gap between ''Star Fox 64'' and ''Adventures''. The comic explains Falco's absence, and directly leads up to the events of ''Adventures''. Near the end of the game, Falco aids Fox during the final boss fight and shortly appears again to join the other main characters in the ending cutscene. | In 2002's ''Star Fox Adventures'', Falco is notably missing for nearly the entire game.

In ''Star Fox Command'', Falco has again isolated himself from the rest of the characters, though he is still considered to be a member of Star Fox. Falco, like all, pilots a customized vehicle, his own being the Sky Claw, a slim Arwing-like fighter with forward-swept wings armed with a single laser and a multi-lock. | In ''Star Fox Command'', Falco has again isolated himself from the rest of the characters, though he is still considered to be a member of Star Fox.

Falco has a cocky attitude and is often uncooperative, frequently chastising his crewmates. He criticizes his leader [[Fox]] the most, due to his general disdain for authority and his secret want to be the leader himself. However, he does have a strong sense of loyalty and will always be there to help his friends, albeit at the last minute so he can take the credit.

However, he does have a strong sense of loyalty and will always be there to help his friends, albeit at the last minute so he can take the credit. Falco leaves and rejoins with team Star Fox multiple times throughout the franchise depending on his goals and the actions of the player in the case of ''Command''. Falco is often compared to Han Solo of the ''Star Wars'' franchise, including the Nintendo Power Official Player's Guide for ''Assault''. | ||

Falco's special moves are similar to those of {{SSBB|Fox}}'s and {{SSBB|Wolf}}'s. However, his recovery move, the Fire Bird, is shorter, but the Falco Phantasm is slightly longer than Fox's and is also stronger than Fox's variant and weaker than Wolf's version. His Blaster cannot fire rapidly like Fox's, but does fire shots faster that travel quicker than Wolf's. And perhaps the biggest difference in these is the fact that his Reflector is not constant anymore. Instead, Falco kicks it from him and it is released for a second or two instead of being continuous. His side smash now has him slam-chopping his arms over another character instead of a turning kick. His aerials are different too. His forward air is similar to Pikachu's, and his neutral air is him doing a 360 degree spin and slashing with his arms. His Final Smash, though it differs in functionality, is virtually the same as Fox's and Wolf's. | Falco's special moves are similar to those of {{SSBB|Fox}}'s and {{SSBB|Wolf}}'s.
