Captain Falcon (full name: Captain Douglas Jay Falcon, Japanese: キャプテン・ファルコン, Kyaputen Farukon) is a video game character debuting in F-Zero for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System in 1991. While not the mascot of the series or really even the main character, he is the best known, most publicized by Nintendo and appears in more games than any other F-Zero character. He has appeared as a playable character in every F-Zero game excluding F-Zero Maximum Velocity and has been a regular in every Super Smash Bros. game since the original.
In F-Zero lore he's a bounty hunter whose identity is a mystery to everyone. He owns his own private island that was presumably purchased through his money he received from capturing bounties. On his island, which is near Port Town, he has built his own track that he practices on before racing with other F-Zero pilots. His famed Blue Falcon is his ship he races with. Over the years Captain Falcon has been rewarded with friends, but mostly rivals.
History
Captain Falcon's history has been revealed through the games, the games' manuals, and the anime. He's a bounty hunter with a past that not much is known about.
