Captain Falcon has appeared in the ''Smash Bros.'' series from the first installment, beginning as his incarnation from ''F-Zero X''. He is an unlockable fighter, and his unlocking condition is for the player to complete the One-Player mode within 20 minutes, and defeat him in a match to earn him. Like {{SSB|Ness}} and {{SSB|Jigglypuff}}, he does not make an appearance in the game's One-Player mode. His entrance into a battle is to zoom in on the [[Blue Falcon]] and park for him to jump out, and the machine zooms into the background to vanish. His default costume is purple as opposed to the usual blue. One of his alternate costumes is colored to resemble [[Blood Falcon]]. | Captain Falcon has appeared in the ''Smash Bros.'' series from the first installment, beginning as his incarnation from ''F-Zero X''.

Captain Falcon makes a return appearance in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'', still in his incarnation from ''F-Zero X''. This time, he is a [[starter]] character as opposed to being an unlockable character in the previous game, and as before, one of his alternate costumes is [[Blood Falcon]] in both coloration and the logo on his suit's back. His new [[side special move]] is the [[Raptor Boost]], a rushing uppercut attack. Newcomer {{SSBM|Ganondorf}} is a clone of Falcon due to their similar moves, but they have different animations for several attacks. | Captain Falcon makes a return appearance in ''Super Smash Bros.

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 hanging out instead of being 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]]. | In ''Super Smash Bros.

Captain Falcon returns as a veteran in ''Super Smash Bros. 4''. He appears in {{SSB4|Robin}}'s trailer fighting him, [[Chrom]], and {{SSB4|Lucina}}. He is once again a starter character like in ''Melee'' and retains his design from ''Brawl''. | Captain Falcon returns as a veteran in ''Super Smash Bros. 4''.

Captain Falcon has returned to a favorable position like in ''SSB'' and ''Melee'', as he ranks 19th out of 55 on the ''SSB4'' [[tier list]], putting him in B tier. The changes to [[hitstun canceling]] greatly benefit Captain Falcon, as they notably restored his once-lost combo game. As usual, he combines speed with power, as well as an effective and vastly reaching [[dash grab]]. [[Raptor Boost]] saw an increase to its knockback, making it a reliable KO move. Nevertheless, Captain Falcon still saw some notable nerfs. His [[Knee Smash]] gained extra landing and ending [[lag]], and it can no longer [[autocancel]] from a short hop. His trademark [[Falcon Punch]] also deals less damage and much less knockback. Additionally, his recovery remains pretty linear and easy to [[edgeguard]] against. Overall, Captain Falcon's appearance in ''SSB4'' is seen as a return to his former glory thanks to the important buffs he received, earning him respectable representation and results in tournaments. | |||
