The '''Falcon Flyer''' is a ship which [[Captain Falcon]] mostly uses to complete his bounty hunter missions. Interestingly, in the ''F-Zero'' series itself, he never uses it - although it is shown in the comic that came with the original [[F-Zero (game)|''F-Zero'' game]] - and so its only video game appearances are in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series. It first appeared in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' as both a trophy and on the [[Big Blue]] stage.

The '''Falcon Flyer''' is a ship which [[Captain Falcon]] mostly uses to complete his bounty hunter missions.  


The Falcon Flyer appears in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'s'' [[Adventure Mode: The Subspace Emissary]], summoned by [[Captain Falcon (SSBB)|Captain Falcon]] to escape from [[The Subspace Bomb Factory (Part II)|the about-to-explode Subspace Bomb Factory]]; then he, [[Samus (SSBB)|Samus]], [[Pikachu (SSBB)|Pikachu]], [[Donkey Kong (SSBB)|Donkey Kong]], [[Diddy Kong (SSBB)|Diddy Kong]], [[Olimar (SSBB)|Olimar]] and [[R.O.B. (SSBB)|R.O.B.]] then must face [[Meta Ridley]] on top of the Falcon Flyer. After Meta Ridley's defeat, the Falcon 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]].

The Falcon Flyer is first seen in the ''F-Zero'' instruction manual and makes further appearances in various comic book adaptations of the series.

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.
