-'''Captain Falcon''' ({{ja|キャプテン・ファルコン}}, ''Captain Falcon''), full name "'''Douglas Jay Falcon'''", is the main playable racer from the {{uv|F-Zero}} series of futuristic [[Nintendo]] racing games and is the mascot of the franchise. He has been featured as a playable [[character]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'', ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', and ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''. His highly offense-based playstyle and his signature moves and quotes, such as his infamous [[Falcon Punch]], have made him a fan-favorite character across the series despite ''F-Zero'' being a lesser-known Nintendo franchise. His voice actor in all four games is Ryō Horikawa, who voices the character in English.

 The ''F-Zero'' series' chronology has many vague elements up for debate, but it is stated by ''F-Zero X'' that Captain Falcon was involved in a huge accident that caused the suspension of the F-Zero Grand Prix; while he was hospitalized, his DNA was stolen and used by someone else to create his evil clone [[Blood Falcon]], who races against him in hopes of taking him out. The story mode of ''F-Zero GX'' shows Captain Falcon winning several races, then saving fellow pilot [[Jody Summer]]. He ends up in a heroic role when he races against and defeats the super villain Black Shadow, then a superior villain named Deathborn, and he goes on to even defeat the Creators of the ''F-Zero'' world.
-Captain Falcon appears as a near-primary playable character in the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]], namely as an unlockable character in ''SSB'' and as a default character in ''Melee'', in both cases modeled on his ''F-Zero X'' incarnation. He also appears in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''. as an unlockable character, with a design that mixes his "F-Zero X" and "F-Zero GX" incarnations, with a darker color palette and a scarf taken from ''F-Zero GP Legend''. He reappears in ''Super Smash Bros. 4'', this time as a starter character, retaining his ''Brawl'' design. The famous "[[Falcon Punch]]" made its debut in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series.

-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 being hanged out instead of 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]].

 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''. He ranks 34th on the current ''Brawl'' tier list because his power and speed were reduced, the physics changes have severely hindered his efficiency, and his [[forward aerial]], the [[Knee Smash]], is now harder to [[sweet spot (hitbox)|sweet spot]].

 ==Trivia==
-*Captain Falcon has had a gun in his holster in all of his appearances, but he has never used it. This is similar to [[Ganondorf]] and his sword starting in ''Melee'' (although he does use it in his custom neutral special move, Warlock Blade), [[Sheik]] and her knife starting in ''Melee'', and [[Snake]] and his handgun in ''Brawl''.

-*Captain Falcon, as well as his signature Falcon Punch and Falcon Kick from the ''Super Smash Bros.'' games, has become a meme of sorts on the Internet, being depicted as a being whose power is god-like and unrivaled.

 *Captain Falcon has always had exactly the same [[weight]] as [[Link]] in each of the NTSC releases of the ''Super Smash Bros.'' games.
+*While Captain Falcon's scarf is tucked in most of the ''F-Zero'' games and anime, in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' onward his scarf hangs out of his shirt in a similar fashion to how Captain Falcon's evil clone ''Blood Falcon'' wears his scarf in the ''F-Zero'' series.
 *[[Yoshi]] and Captain Falcon are the only sole representatives to appear in all four games in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series.
-*While Captain Falcon's scarf is tucked in the ''F-Zero'' game and anime, in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series his scarf hangs out of his shirt starting from ''Brawl.'' This style is similar to how Captain Falcon's evil clone ''Blood Falcon'' wears his scarf in the F-Zero series.
-**It should also be noted that in the anime when Captain Falcon pulls the Falcon Punch, his scarf becomes untucked. The anime was aired a few years before ''Brawl'' was released.
 *Unlike most characters in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series, where their series's popularity had gained them a position as a fighter, Captain Falcon has gained popularity as a result of being a fighter. In fact, in the anime ''F-Zero GP Legend'', he uses the Falcon Punch, which originated from ''SSB''.
