Interestingly, the hitbox of aerial Falcon Kick only covers up to Falcon's thigh, leaving his leg and foot completely exposed. The Falcon Kick's travel speed also slows down per target hit, causing multiple targets at once to severely slow down Captain Falcon during the attack. The aerial version however, is not as affected in comparison.

The Falcon Kick returns in ''Super Smash Bros. 4'', and is much stronger, with the early hitbox is now strong enough to KO under 150%. The recoiling flip performed by Falcon after hitting a wall is also different, with him doing a twirl to the side.

In ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'', Falcon Kick's KO power has been buffed (especially after game updates to the point where it's even stronger than Ganondorf's [[Wizard's Foot]] in *Melee*), as well as its startup, ending and landing lag being reduced.

==Trivia==
*The animation used when Captain Falcon bounces off a wall by using this move is the same as the animation used when releasing an opponent from the [[Falcon Dive]].<!--Confirmed in Brawl, unsure in Smash 64 and Melee-->
*Prior to ''Smash 4'', the animation used when Captain Falcon bounces off a wall by using this move is the same as the animation used when releasing an opponent from the [[Falcon Dive]].
*In ''Brawl'', if Falcon Kick is used specifically against the lower right corner of the blocks drawing in [[PictoChat]], Captain Falcon can repeatedly use it with no ending lag for an indefinite amount of time.[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q93m_Sioaoo&feature=feedu]

*If Falcon Kick Fury is interrupted, it can possibly cause opponents to fly extreme distances, similar to how characters fly when losing the [[Rocket Belt]] due to a strong enough attack.

*{{SSBU|Min Min}} has unused down special animations left in her animation files that resemble both the grounded and aerial versions of Falcon Kick, suggesting that during development Min Min used Captain Falcon as a base.
