18 Mind-Blowing Facts You Never Knew About Super Smash Bros

17. Captain Falcon€™s Moves Are Recycled From Dragon King

Nintendo

Even though Dragon King: The Fighting Game never ended up coming to pass, there are still vestiges of its concept left over in Super Smash Bros. The most notable is Captain Falcon, or more specifically, his move set.

Unlike all the other characters whose moves are based on abilities seen in their other games, Captain Falcon€™s moves are taken from the original Dragon King prototype. This was necessary because Captain Falcon had always been confined to a vehicle in the F-Zero games, and therefore didn€™t have any special abilities to pull from.
