In the year 2571, he thwarted the plans of Black Shadow and Deathborn from rigging the Grand Prix by eliminating all the other skilled pilots as shown in the Story Mode of ''[[F-Zero GX]]''. After winning the champion's belt, he then raced and defeated Deathborn in the underground circuit to win the champion's belt for the underground races. The two champion's belts then combined to release these mysterious beings called the Creators, who claimed to have created the world and planned to extract Captain Falcon's soul . However, Captain Falcon was able to defeat the Creators in a race, seemingly destroying them. | In the year 2571, he thwarted the plans of Black Shadow and Deathborn from rigging the Grand Prix by eliminating all the other skilled pilots as shown in the Story Mode of ''[[F-Zero GX]]''.

In the anime-inspired games ''[[F-Zero: GP Legend]]'' and ''[[F-Zero Climax|Climax]]'', little is known about Captain Falcon beyond his popularity in the Grand Prix. His machine is so popular that it is virtually the symbol of the F-Zero races. His true identity is Bart Lemming who often gives advice to Rick Wheeler and his friends. | In the anime-inspired games ''[[F-Zero: GP Legend]]'' and ''[[F-Zero Climax|Climax]]'', little is known about Captain Falcon beyond his popularity in the Grand Prix.

He has his own story path in ''GP Legend''. He was originally hired by an old friend to escort [[Dr. Clash]] in Mute City. However, he then encountered Zoda, who captured Dr. Clash, and began to pursue him with the help of [[Rick Wheeler]], whom he met for the first time and was confused by his claims of having known Zoda for centuries, but they wound up accidentally capturing a decoy instead. He then encountered Samurai Goroh in Red Canyon while attempting to continue his pursuit, but Goroh accused Falcon of poisoning him and raced him. Goroh ran off afterwards. | He has his own story path in ''GP Legend''. He was originally hired by an old friend to escort [[Dr. Clash]] in Mute City.

| − | * | + | *Captain Falcon is an unlockable fighter in ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'', one of the starting fighters in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' and again an unlockable fighter in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. Due to ''F-Zero'' being a racing series and thus Captain Falcon never used any fighting abilities in the games, the ''Smash Bros.'' teams invented his moveset from scratch. In ''Melee'' and ''Brawl'', one of his alternate costumes is [[Blood Falcon]], and the character [[Ganondorf]] is a clone of his moveset. He has three unlockable trophies in ''Melee'' as well as two in ''Brawl'' (one being a normal one with the other depicting his Final Smash) and three stickers of Captain Falcon as seen in ''F-Zero'', ''F-Zero X'' and ''F-Zero GX''. |
| − | + | **In the original ''Super Smash Bros.'', he was unlocked by beating the game on 1-P Mode in under twenty minutes. In ''Melee'' Captain Falcon has three unlockable trophies. In ''Brawl'', Captain Falcon is unlocked by playing 70 brawls, beating Classic Mode on Normal or greater in under twelve minutes or by getting him to join the party in "The Subspace Emissary". | |
| − | + | **Within "The Subspace Emissary", Captain Falcon first appeared on the Island of the Ancients to help [[Olimar]] fight a giant [[R.O.B.]]. After arriving in the Blue Falcon, he leaped out and took out the R.O.B. in a single punch, but accidentally killed many [[Pikmin]] as he landed. Captain Falcon then explored the island with the more fretful Olimar. They arrived at the edge of the island and witnessed [[Diddy Kong]] saving [[Donkey Kong]] and fighting off Subspace enemies atop the Smash Skiff that was heading for the island. Captain Falcon seemed impressed and then leaped onto the Smash Skiff with a reluctant Olimar to help them. This eventually took them within the Subspace Bomb Factory. After [[Ganondorf]] set off all the Subspace Bombs in the factory, Captain Falcon led the evacuation of the heroes and called in the Falcon Flyer as their escape craft. After escaping the island's destruction, they united with the main party of the game to go into Subspace and take on [[Tabuu]]. | |

*Captain Falcon was featured in a four-page comic that was included in the ''F-Zero'' instruction manual (thus making it likely canon). He is shown collecting several bounties before going to compete at the F-Zero racetrack and uses a small laser pistol which is not shown in the games. | *Captain Falcon was featured in a four-page comic that was included in the ''F-Zero'' instruction manual (thus making it likely canon).

| − | * | + | *Captain Falcon was a recurring character in the ''F-Zero GP Legend'' anime who fought against Black Shadow and the forces of the Dark Million organization. His alterego is Bart Lemming, but it is later revealed that he is actually Jody Summer's brother Andy who was believed dead after saving Jody from a missile fired by Zoda. He also assumes the identity of Berserker to infiltrate the F-Zero Committee and stop the Dark Million's plans. He had his Falcon Punch from the ''Smash Bros.'' games. In this series, Captain Falcon is a title passed down by the defenders of the light, and in the final episode Captain Falcon supposedly dies in an explosion, sacrificing himself by using a Falcon Punch to prevent Black Shadow from escaping the explosion. Afterwards Rick Wheeler, his friend and rival as well as the anime's main character, becomes the new Captain Falcon. He appears as Berserker in the game ''F-Zero Climax'', which means he may have survived his supposed death. |
