He first appears in the first ''[[Star Fox (game)|Star Fox]]'' game. His first name is the genus for birds of prey that include falcon, kestrels, kites and caracas. Falco himself looks like a red-throated caracara. His surname is derived from [[wikipedia:Carlo Rambaldi|Carlo Rambaldi]], a special effects artist.<ref>"We named Falco after Carlo Lombardi, a special effects man in Hollywood." - Takao Imamura, ''Nintendo Power'' volume 99, page 104.</ref> | ||
Falco was a member of various space gangs, including the [[Hot Rodders]] (along with good friend [[Katt Monroe]]) and was the head of another gang, named [[Free as a Bird]]. He later left his gang to help form the second Star Fox team on an invitation from an old friend of his, [[Fox McCloud]]. Being the ace pilot of the team, his flight skills are unmatched. He is a great fighter and asset to the team. He hails from the planet [[Corneria]] where he attended military academy with Fox and [[Bill Grey]]. While originally piloting an [[Arwing]], in ''[[Star Fox Command]]'' his Arwing is personalized as the Sky Claw. | Falco was a member of various space gangs, including the [[Hot Rodders]] (along with good friend [[Katt Monroe]]) and was the head of another gang, named [[Free as a Bird]].

Falco is a blue-feathered avian with long blue tail feathers and red plumage around his blue eyes. His appearance was based off of a red throated caracara. He also has an athletic yet lanky build, and is shown to be taller than Fox, as seen in the Super Smash Bros. games and Star Fox: Assault. Falco's name comes from the name of the falcon genus. Although Falco is in appearance a bird, he seems to lack the ability to fly. | Falco is a blue-feathered avian with long blue tail feathers and red plumage around his blue eyes.

Falco is one of the most respected and skilled pilots of the Star Fox Team. His personality is often brash, overconfident and cocky and possesses an uncooperative attitude, though he is devoted to his wingmates. Falco has incredible nerves, and can accurately predict the tide of battle. He also tends to refer to his enemies as "prey," as shown in Star Fox Command, Super Smash Bros. Brawl, and Star Fox 64. He also prefers flying aircraft to other vehicles, as evidenced in the ending of the Aquas campaign in ''Star Fox 64'', where he states that he would take the sky any day after the Blue-Marine managed to come through Aquas upon destroying Bacoon, as well as his activation quote when activating his Final Smash in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', "Personally, I prefer the air". Although overall during his career(s) on the Star Fox Team, he was significantly cocky, he has mellowed out over time. As the team's ace pilot, Falco is the best Arwing pilot in the team, making him very handy in battle. However, he has a tendency to not follow advice (he dislikes authority), and also likes to be late and appear at the last minute to save the day (as seen in the end of Adventures, and in several missions in Command). Falco often joins and leaves the Star Fox team throughout the series of games. After Star Fox 64, Falco leaves the team, returning at the end of Star Fox Adventures. Depending on the path in Star Fox Command, Falco may or may not leave Star Fox after joining, but he stays in the default ending. Ironically, in one of the Star Fox Command endings, Falco is the only original member to stay, even though he left the team several times throughout the story. Falco's personality is very similar to Han Solo from the Star Wars series.

Falco made his ''Smash Bros.'' premiere in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'', the second game of the series. Here, he was shown to be even faster than Fox and had an even better jump. His appearance is based off of concept art from the original ''Star Fox'' game. While Fox's Blaster was demoted in strength, Falco's Blaster could stun its target, but could not be used rapidly, just like Fox's Blaster in [[Super Smash Bros.|the original game]]. The Falco Phantasm attack is similar to the Fox Illusion, but is faster and covered less distance. Falco's Fire Bird attack is his recovery move. It is more powerful than Fox's, but does not have as much reach. Falco also uses a Reflector that can be used to reflect enemy attacks. It works just like Fox's Reflector. In ''Melee'', Falco is unlocked by clearing the 100 Man Melee and defeating him in battle. | Falco made his ''Smash Bros.'' premiere in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'', the second game of the series.

Falco returned in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', once more as an unlockable character. Falco is unlocked in the same manner as he was in the previous game, which was clearing the 100 Man Brawl. Falco's appearance in this game is similar to Fox's in that his character build is based off his appearance in ''Star Fox Command'' with a more realistic appearance. Many of his moves are unchanged, though his blaster does travel a longer distance. Falco's Final Smash is the Landmaster, just like Fox and Wolf. Falco's Landmaster is the weakest of the three, but it is also the one that can fly for the longest amount of time and can be maneuvered more easily than the other two. | Falco returned in ''Super Smash Bros.

Mirroring his tendency to appear late in the ''Star Fox'' games, Falco appeared at the last second to save Fox and [[mariowiki:Diddy Kong|Diddy Kong]] from [[mariowiki:Bowser|Bowser]] and his Dark Cannon. Falco then helped the two fight a giant False Diddy Kong created by Bowser before Falco appeared. The three defeated the replica and, unwilling to help Diddy, was dragged away by him similar to Fox earlier on. Falco and Fox then led Diddy to their ship the Great Fox. While Fox went to deal with the [[wikirby:Halberd|Battleship Halberd]], Falco flew Diddy to the Smash Skiff, where [[mariowiki:Donkey Kong|Donkey Kong's]] trophy was. As Diddy left, Falco gave him the thumbs up sign. | Mirroring his tendency to appear late in the ''Star Fox'' games, Falco appeared at the last second to save Fox and [[mariowiki:Diddy Kong|Diddy Kong]] from [[mariowiki:Bowser|Bowser]] and his Dark Cannon.

Falco later appeared to aid Fox, [[mariowiki:Peach|Princess Peach]], [[zeldawiki:Zelda|Princess Zelda]], [[bulbapedia:Lucario|Lucario]], and [[smashwiki:Snake|Solid Snake]] in the fight against Duon, a creature created by Shadow Bugs and the trophy of [[mariowiki:Mr. Game & Watch|Mr. Game & Watch]]. After Duon's defeat, [[wikirby:Meta Knight|Meta Knight]] piloted the Halberd towards a coastal region where other heroes were located.
