==Character description==

Line 29:

The first ''[[F-Zero]]'' game was released in 1990 for the Super Famicom in Japan and its western counterpart, the SNES, and it introduced the first character design of Captain Falcon along with the other three ''F-Zero''-series characters that appeared in the game as racing pilots, along with their respective futuristic racing machines, such as Captain Falcon's [[Blue Falcon]]. The manual to the game featured an eight-page comic featuring these characters, with the comic's story revolving around one of Falcon's trademark bounty-hunting missions in his [[Falcon Flyer]] transport ship. Captain Falcon's design and backstory would be revised in future iterations of the ''F-Zero'' series; his design in ''[[F-Zero X]]'' for Nintendo 64 would be used for his appearances as a playable fighter in 1999's ''Super Smash Bros.'' and 2001's ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'', and his most recent "main" design is in ''[[F-Zero GX]]'' for GameCube. In all these appearances, Captain Falcon and his machine are touted as the most balanced and easy-to-play-with machine for that game, so players of a new ''F-Zero'' game almost always play as Captain Falcon first. He is also the main game character.

Captain Falcon is described as "an accomplished F-Zero pilot, a renowned and talented bounty hunter", and is also an eccentric man in his late thirties (36 in ''F-Zero X'' and ''Melee'', 37 in ''F-Zero GX''). His "Captain" title is ~~rumoured~~ to originate from his being perhaps an officer in the Internova Police Force in the past. He is a resident of Earth, coming from the city of Port Town. His bounty hunting exploits have yielded him enough of a reputation that he has gained many enemies across the galaxy; to avoid the constant danger from his adversaries, when he's not racing or bounty-hunting he lives in seclusion in his personal island chain off the coast of Port Town. His need to shield himself from outsiders borders on paranoia (albeit not necessarily unwarranted), because whenever he wins a race he has to dash home to his islands with his award money before others can get him. Living comfortably in solitude in his islands, Captain Falcon practices his F-Zero racing with a separate track built on each one of his islands.

Living comfortably in solitude in his islands, Captain Falcon practices his F-Zero racing with a separate track built on each one of his islands.

His outfit consists of a purplish-blue, form-fitting racing suit and a red helmet with an opaque visor as well as a single pauldron on his right shoulder and a scarf around his neck. He always carries a sidearm in a holster on his right hip (although he has only been shown to use it once). When Captain Falcon removes his helmet, it is obvious that he has a scar above his left eye.

Line 35:

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 ~~modelled~~ on his ''F-Zero X'' incarnation. He also appears in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''., with a design that is a mix between the "F-Zero X" and "F-Zero GX" incarnation, with a darker ~~colour~~ palette and a scarf taken from ''F-Zero GP Legend''. The ''Super Smash Bros.'' series also introduced the "[[Falcon Punch]]".

[[File:Captain Falcon SSB.png|90px|left|thumb|Captain Falcon's appearance in ''SSB''.]]

Captain Falcon has appeared in the ''Smash Bros.'' series from [[Super Smash Bros.|the start]], but as his incarnation from ''F-Zero X'' for N64. 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 [[Ness (SSB)|Ness]] and [[Jigglypuff (SSB)|Jigglypuff~~]] and unlike [[Luigi (SSB)|Luigi~~]], 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. One of his alternate costumes is colored to resemble [[Blood Falcon]].

Captain Falcon's special moves are the [[Falcon Punch]], his [[neutral special move]], a slow but powerful charge-up punch attack; the [[Falcon Dive]], his [[up special move|up special]], a repeatable move involving a jump upward, grabbing any opponent he comes in contact with, followed by an explosion of sorts; and the [[Falcon Kick]], his [[down special move|down special]], a maneuver where he shoots downward from midair or forward on the ground with a flaming kick extended.
