Captain Falcon

Captain Falcon

Captain Falcon is a racer pure and simple. When you play as Captain Falcon in an F-Zero game he doesn't do much but tear up the tracks in his zero friction vehicle the blue falcon. Being the top dog in the F-Zero circuit means that the Captain has numerous rivals. He is also an accomplished intergalactic bounty hunter. F-Zero games have been created for every system since the SNES.

Captain Falcon is a good overall character. He can be picked up by novices and professionals alike. Compared to the rosters of each game, Captain Falcon is a better player in Melee than he is in N64.
