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. | 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.

Captain Falcon appears as a playable character in every ''[[Super Smash Bros. (series)|Super Smash Bros.]]'' game in the series. As Falcon had almost never been depicted in combat in his home series, his moveset is largely original to the ''Smash'' series itself, where he is depicted as a pyrokinetic hand-to-hand brawler; his famous [[Falcon Punch]] made its debut in ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' and has been his signature move in the series ever since. Falcon's voice acting in the series is also part of this original portrayal (and inconsistent with his depiction in ''F-Zero GX''), as he is voiced by the Japanese Ryō Horikawa speaking in simple, overenthusiastic English phrases; his taunt of "Show me your moves!" has become strongly associated with the character in general, as seen in ''{{s|mariowiki|Mario Kart 8}}''. He appears as an unlockable character in ''SSB'', but is made readily available as a starter in ''Melee'', and in both cases he is modeled after his ''F-Zero X'' incarnation. He also appears in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' as an unlockable character, with a design that mixes his ''F-Zero X'' and ''F-Zero GX'' designs, with a darker color palette and his scarf left loose like in ''F-Zero GP Legend''. He reappears in ''Super Smash Bros. 4'' as a starter character and retains his ''Brawl'' design, though with a brighter color palette. | Captain Falcon appears as a playable character in every ''[[Super Smash Bros.

Captain Falcon's appearances in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series have helped to considerably boost his public image. Captain Falcon's appearance in the original ''Super Smash Bros.'' took audiences by surprise, though his inclusion was massively applauded due to both his original fighting style and his voice; this paved the way for Captain Falcon reappearing in all subsequent ''Smash'' installments. As of now, Captain Falcon is more or less a mainstream character of gaming culture rather than being a curious character known only to the devoted Nintendo fandom. | |||
