The Big Blue stage in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, featuring the Falcon Flyer as a platform.

The Falcon Flyer is a ship which Captain Falcon mostly uses to complete his bounty hunter missions. Interestingly, in the F-Zero series itself, he never uses it—although it is shown in the comic that came with the original F-Zero game—and so its only video game appearances are in the Super Smash Bros. series. It first appeared in Super Smash Bros. Melee as both a trophy and on the Big Blue stage.

The Falcon Flyer appears in Super Smash Bros. Brawl's Adventure Mode: The Subspace Emissary, summoned by Captain Falcon to escape from the doomed Isle of the Ancients; then he, Samus, Pikachu, Donkey Kong, Diddy Kong, Olimar and R.O.B. must face Meta Ridley on top of the Falcon Flyer. After Meta Ridley's defeat, the Falcon Flyer (piloted by Captain Falcon)—along with the Halberd—lands where the rest of the heroes are and helps in the assault to stop the Subspace Gunship.
