The Blue Falcon appears in ''Melee'' as a vehicle shown in the [[opening movie]] along with [[Samus]]' [[Gunship]] and the [[Great Fox]], as a stage element on [[Big Blue]] and {{SSBM|Mute City}}, and a part of the {{SSBM|Captain Falcon}} and [[F-Zero Racers]] [[Trophy|trophies]]. Its role as a stage element is continued in ''Brawl''{{'}}s [[Port Town Aero Dive]] and {{for3ds}}'s {{SSB4|Mute City}}, appearing as a 2D sprite in the latter. | The Blue Falcon appears in ''Melee'' as a vehicle shown in the [[opening movie]] along with [[Samus]]' [[Gunship]] and the [[Great Fox]], as a stage element on [[Big Blue]] and {{SSBM|Mute City}}, and a part of the {{SSBM|Captain Falcon}} and [[F-Zero Racers]] [[Trophy|trophies]].

As a Final Smash, it starts when Captain Falcon | As a Final Smash, it starts when Captain Falcon calls (saying "Come on! Blue Falcon!") for his {{uv|F-Zero}} machine, the Blue Falcon. The Blue Falcon crashes through the [[stage]] in front of Captain Falcon. Whoever it hits when it first appears will be hit by the rest of the move. Characters who are not hit will stay in place until the end of the smash. A short cutscene appears, and the opponents are run over and sent flying, doing about 40% damage if every part of the attack hits and has high knockback. ''Smash 4'' added the engine revving sound effect from the original ''F-Zero'' to the cutscene. ''Ultimate'' added a trail of flames on both sides of the Blue Falcon to create wing-like visuals similar to the [[Falcon Punch]]. Like certain other Final Smashes, if no one is hit when the Blue Falcon appears, then the attack fails. This Final Smash requires precise timing as one must get close to foes. | ||
In ''Brawl'', Captain Falcon's on-screen appearance in the Subspace Emissary also involves the Blue Falcon. After [[Olimar]] and his {{b|Pikmin|species}} got terrified by a giant [[R.O.B.]], a red Pikmin points out the Blue Falcon, which opens its canopy and Captain Falcon ejects himself from the machine, then [[Falcon Punch]]es the R.O.B.. The Blue Falcon does not appear in any place after this. | In ''Brawl'', Captain Falcon's on-screen appearance in the Subspace Emissary also involves the Blue Falcon.

The number of targets hit by this Final Smash inversely affects knockback: on a single target, it is powerful enough to guarantee a [[KO]], while a lot of targets may collide with one another, reducing the resulting knockback. Regardless of number of targets, damage remains a constant 40%. However, it could inflict only 5% if used twice in a row in [[Training]] mode. For unknown reasons, the launch angle of the final hit is not consistent, and can vary drastically, even if no DI is used. | |||

*If Blue Falcon is activated while Captain Falcon is running on ice and slides into the opponent while using his Final Smash, the cutscene will show a close-up of the Blue Falcon, eventually going behind it. His opponents will not be hit by the attack. An example can be seen [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wTeMPUWMSQI here]. From this point onwards in the match or Training session, Smash Balls and any missing [[Dragoon]] pieces will not appear. This is because Captain Falcon [[self-destruct]]ed in the middle of the move so the game perpetually thinks the move is not complete. | *If Blue Falcon is activated while Captain Falcon is running on ice and slides into the opponent while using his Final Smash, the cutscene will show a close-up of the Blue Falcon, eventually going behind it.

*Although the first hit of Blue Falcon is designed to never trigger a KO, for unknown reasons if Blue Falcon is used on an opponent right under or above the upper [[blast line]], the opponent may still be [[star KO]]'d by the initial hit. They will still be in the ramming cutscene and be hit by the second portion of the attack, which results in a double KO, as they were hit by the machine originally. A video of it can be seen [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VnRhpykRsWs here]; the glitch was discovered by {{sm|Omega Tyrant}}. | *Although the first hit of Blue Falcon is designed to never trigger a KO, for unknown reasons if Blue Falcon is used on an opponent right under or above the upper [[blast line]], the opponent may still be [[star KO]]'d by the initial hit.

*Captain Falcon has two unique ending animations after the Final Smash ends: he lands on one knee and strikes a defensive pose if the move was used on the ground, and he does a backwards flip if the move was used in the air. However, in ''Brawl'' the grounded animation goes unused, despite being in the game's files. | *Captain Falcon has two unique ending animations after the Final Smash ends: he lands on one knee and strikes a defensive pose if the move was used on the ground, and he does a backwards flip if the move was used in the air.
