The Falcon Punch originated in the ''{{b|Super Smash Bros.|series}}'' series, and is generally considered both a part of the {{uv|Super Smash Bros.}} universe and his falcon motif. The move made its ''F-Zero'' debut with [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_CJn69FgEko a scene] from the episode {{s|fzerowiki|The Legend of Falcon}} in ''{{iw|fzerowiki|F-Zero: GP Legend|anime}}'', where it's used by Captain Falcon to prevent Black Shadow from escaping a reactor's explosion, defeating him. The explosion, large enough to be seen from outside the Milky Way Galaxy, is often misinterpreted as being caused by the Falcon Punch itself, consequently becoming memetic. Outside of ''Super Smash Bros.'', the move is often used to describe or add humor to powerful punch-based events as an imitation of its power in ''GP Legend'' and within the ''Super Smash Bros.'' games, often with voice clips or special effects inserted.
