*Captain Falcon's ECB (Environmental Collision Box) varies in size depending on the costume being used. His default costume has the smallest ECB, while his green costume has the largest. He is the only character in the game known to have gameplay differences depending on costume.
*Captain Falcon's each costume has a unique default pose, with minute alterations on his hands and arms. That leads to tiny differences on his arm hurtbox positions and 3d-orientations, as well as environment collision boxes (ECBs) that govern stage collisions. The differences aren't static, as animations may also alter the arms and hands. For instance, green falcon has the widest ECB on most neutral standing (*Wait*) frames, but on some aerial attack frames its narrowest instead. Some animations that animate the hands and arms undo the costume differences altogether. Different costumes also have slightly altered hitbox placements on his back air, raptor boost and falcon punch. Captain Falcon is the only character in the game known to have gameplay differences depending on costume.
