The Falcon Flyer is a ship which Captain Falcon mostly uses to complete his bounty hunter missions.
Origin[edit]
The Falcon Flyer is first seen in the F-Zero instruction manual and makes further appearances in various comic book adaptations of the series. It is described as a large, high-tech mothership that carries the Blue Falcon. Captain Falcon uses it to travel the galaxy in search of his next bounty hunter mission. Despite its prominence to the story, Falcon Flyer has never appeared in an F-Zero game. Its first appearance in any video game was Super Smash Bros. Melee as a trophy and as a stage element in Big Blue.
In Super Smash Bros. Melee[edit]
As a stage element[edit]
Falcon Flyer is prominently featured as a moving platform in Big Blue. This is officially its first appearance in a video game.
Trophy[edit]
- Falcon Flyer
- Captain Falcon's speedy midsize star cruiser boasts an on-board computer that allows Falcon to control it remotely...perhaps that's why it's never appeared on-screen in an F-Zero game. Without this ship, Falcon couldn't prowl the galaxy like a lone wolf: the Blue Falcon is a state-of-the-art machine, but it's only used for F-Zero races.
- F-Zero (8/91)
In Super Smash Bros. Brawl[edit]
As a stage element[edit]
Falcon Flyer returns as a stage element in Big Blue. It has received a visual update to match the aesthetic of this game.
In Subspace Emissary[edit]
The Falcon Flyer appears in Adventure Mode: The Subspace Emissary, summoned by Captain Falcon to escape from the doomed Isle of the Ancients; then he, Samus, Pikachu, Donkey Kong, Diddy Kong, Olimar and R.O.B. must face Meta Ridley on top of the Falcon Flyer. After Meta Ridley's defeat, the Flyer (piloted by Captain Falcon)—along with the Halberd—lands where the rest of the heroes are and helps in the assault to stop the Subspace Gunship.
Trophy[edit]
- Falcon Flyer
Captain Falcon's speedy, midsized galactic cruiser, equipped with an onboard computer. Captain Falcon uses the Falcon Flyer mainly to track down criminals when he's plying his trade as a bounty hunter. Of course, it also comes in handy for transporting and maintaining the Blue Falcon. The Falcon Flyer is an exceedingly reliable partner.

Trophy[edit]
- Falcon Flyer
- The treasured ship of the bounty hunter Captain Falcon. Don't get this confused with the Blue Falcon, his F-Zero machine. The nose looks like a falcon, reflecting Captain Falcon's dauntless pursuit of his prey. Beware, bounty heads! Captain Falcon will track you down!
- : Super Smash Bros. Melee (12/2001)
: Super Smash Bros. Brawl (03/2008)- Captain Falcon's beloved ship. However, it isn't so much a racing machine as it is his personal base of operations, used for chasing down his targets as a bounty hunter. A ship with style and substance, it's the perfect fit for our intrepid hero as he scours the galaxy!
