Line 13:
* [[Aloof Ally]]: To ''any'' Good-aligned character in the series.
** [[A Friend in Need]]: ''F-Zero GX''. Story Mode. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H6Hpusrp3xw Chapter 5.] Jody Summer.
* {{spoiler|[[Aloof Big Brother]]: Subverted. It's made clear that Falcon's actions towards Jody is a facade to ensure that [[It's Not You, It's My Enemies|she isn't caught in the crossfire]]
* [[Animal-Themed Superbeing]]
* [[Animal Motifs]]: A falcon, duh.
Line 21:
** [[Badass Baritone]]: In the anime, provided by [[Hideyuki Tanaka]] (Japanese) and David Wills (English; [[Hey, It's That Voice!|you may know him better as]] [[Sonic X|Es]][[Shadow the Hedgehog (video game)|pio]], [[Viva Piñata|Fergy Fudgehog]], and [[Yu-Gi-Oh! GX (anime)|Tyranno Hasselberry]], not to mention Sirius Satellite Radio's [http://www.myspace.com/ghostyontheradio DJ Ghosty]).
** [[Badass Boast]]: To do this to {{spoiler|''the creators of the universe''}} and back up his claim, it's pretty badass.
{{quote|'''Captain Falcon''': "Come off it! You think ''you'' can beat ''me''? No way!!"
** {{spoiler|1=[[Badass Long Robe]]: As [[Reverse Mole|Berserker]], [[The Dragon]] to Don Genie in the anime. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hd7FW9-mPN8#t=6m0s Leads to an] [[Moment of Awesome (Sugar Wiki)|awesome]] [[Big Damn Heroes]] moment late in the series, complete with [[Flung Clothing]]
* [[Becoming the Mask]]: Without the Captain Falcon facade, he's rather timid and a little silly.
** That's only in the anime, though.
* {{spoiler|1=[[Big Brother Mentor]]/[[The Obi-Wan]]: [[The Bartender|Bart Lemming]] is this in regards to several characters, such as Ryu/Rick, Clank, and Jody. Ryu/Rick even calls him [[Japanese Honorifics|"basan."]] As Falcon, he serves as [[The Obi-Wan]] to Ryu/Rick, complete with an [[Obi-Wan Moment]]
* [[Big Damn Heroes]]: Damn straight!
* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni|Blue Oni]]: To Blood Falcon's Red Oni. [[Color-Coded for Your Convenience|They even wear the appropriate colors.]]
Line 37:
* [[Character Celebrity Endorsement]]: In-universe, Falcon was apparently featured in a commercial (with him uttering the final words, "Let's try.") that inspired Billy to join the races.
* [[Characterization Marches On]]: In the games, not much is known about Falcon other than his sense of justice. ''Super Smash Bros.'' then transforms the guy into a campy, [[Large Ham|over-the-top]] [[Boisterous Bruiser|brawler]] with a [[Megaton Punch|Falcon Punch]]. The anime blends together these two depictions, using the best aspects of both personalities. [[Ascended Meme|They even give him the Falcon Punch]] in the [[Grand Finale]].
* {{spoiler|1=[[Chekhov MIA]]/[[Long-Lost Relative]]: In the anime, Captain Falcon/Bart Lemming is none other than Andy Summer, Jody's [[Not Quite Dead|not quite]] [[Dead Little Sister|dead older brother]]. Turns out that he survived his [[Heroic Sacrifice]] in her [[Backstory]]
* [[Clothing Damage]]: In his ''GX'' [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JVudJS9-I14 ending movie,] he saves Mrs. Arrow's baby from a speeding locomotive. Afterwards, his pants rip, revealing his [[Goofy Print Underwear]]. This leaves Falcon in an awkward and compromising position as Mrs. Arrow chuckles at his misfortune.
* [[The Comically Serious]]: Portrayed this way in ''GX''.
Line 51:
* [[The Fettered]]: And ''how''.
* [[The Good Captain]]
* [[Good Scars, Evil Scars]]: Sports a scar on his left eyebrow. Anyone who has played the games should be able to deduce that {{spoiler|Bart Lemming is Captain Falcon, as he has the same scar
* [[The Hero]]
** {{spoiler|[[The Hero Dies]]: In the anime. But Black Shadow be damned if Falcon [[Heroic Sacrifice|isn't going to go out]] ''[[Dying Moment of Awesome|in style]]''
{{quote|{{spoiler|'''Captain Falcon''': "[[Legacy Character|The name "Captain Falcon" is a title]] [[Dare to Be Badass|given to those worthy of it.]] Ryu Suzaku... [[Take Up My Sword|as of today, you are the new Captain Falcon]]."}}}}
* [[Hideyuki Tanaka]]: [[Actor Allusion|See?]] [[Metal Gear|Otacon]] ''[[Super Smash Bros.|did]]'' [[I Always Wanted to Say That|get to use the Falcon Kick too!]]
Line 63:
* [[Let's Fight Like Gentlemen|Let's Race Like Gentlemen]]: He tries to convince Black Shadow to lay off on their grudge until the Grand Prix. It doesn't work.
{{quote|'''Captain Falcon''': "[[Duels Decide Everything|Let's settle this at the Grand Prix.]] Not like this, it's the coward's way."<br />
'''Black Shadow''': "'The coward's way'? You make it sound so noble."
** Also, he has a gun. He uses it in a comic that came with the first game. That's it. He handles it in ''GX'', but never pulls it out against anyone, not even in ''Smash Bros.''
* [[Meaningful Echo]]: After defeating Blood Falcon in Episode 30 of the anime, Falcon muses, [[Badass Boast|"Only the one who has exceeded Falcon can become Falcon."]] {{spoiler|This speech, in modified form, is brought up again in the [[Grand Finale]], when Falcon relinquishes his title to Ryu/Rick. Doubles as [[Foreshadowing]]
* [[Media Research Failure]]: "Dear IGN, his name is ''Captain'' Falcon. The Blue Falcon is '''''[[I Am Not Shazam|the name of his vehicle]]'''''. Love, the fans."
* [[Mysterious Past]]/[[Shrouded in Myth]]: Falcon is an enigma. What little facts that games disclose about him might not even be true. It is ''believed'' that he was born in Port Town, [[Supercop|served as a member of the Internova Police Force]] alongside Goroh (hence his title of "Captain" and his rivalry with Goroh), and lives on a chain of islands off the coast of Port Town, a haven safe from his enemies (complete with racetracks so he can keep himself in peak condition).
{{quote|'''Silver Neelson''': "You're the famous Falcon?"}}
* [[Mysterious Protector]]
* [[Paper-Thin Disguise]]: {{spoiler|Both Jody and Clank quickly deduce that Bart Lemming is Captain Falcon, with Jody easily recognizing him as her brother Andy. Inverted with Berserker, whose identity Clank correctly guesses by ''[[Awesomeness By Analysis|analyzing and studying his racing strategy]]''
* {{spoiler|[[Rage Against the
* [[Rebel Relaxation]]: A few times in the anime.
* [[Ryo Horikawa]]: His Japanese voice actor for ''Super Smash Bros.''.
* [[Scarf of Asskicking]]
* [[Secret Identity]]
Line 120:
* [[Fat Idiot]]: Not quite in the games, but he shows a few signs here and there.
* [[Katanas Are Just Better]]: He's a samurai, so it's kind of a no-brainer.
* [[Kavorka Man]]: He's a loudmouth, crass, arrogant, and greedy bandit who is seen as a major headache by ''many'' of his fellow racers, yet it's clear that the insanely hot space babe ''princess'' Princia Ramode wants to jump his bones
* [[Lennon Specs]]
* [[Lovable Rogue]]: In the anime, his [[Butt Monkey]] status is gone and he's pretty much Rick's mentor.
* [[Master Swordsman]]: ''[[Badass Normal|Unparalleled]]'' in the anime. {{spoiler|Hyper Zoda only won because he's a cheater
* [[Patriotic Fervor]]: In ''GX'', when he signs an autograph, he leaves an imprint of his hand, just like any professional sumo wrestler would.
* [[Pet the Dog]]: When he and Ryu/Rick part ways during their first meeting, Goroh may have stolen the goods, but he leaves the medicine Ryu/Rick had been searching for and tells him that he doesn't pilfer from those worse off than him and tries not to harm others unless it's ''absolutely'' necessary (i.e. self defense). Ryu/Rick realizes that despite being a thief, Goroh's a decent man with morals. For this reason, he's one of the first people to defend Goroh when Antonio Guster frames him and often seeks out the samurai's advice.
Line 130:
* [[Samurai]]: [[Everything's Better with Samurai|Guess why.]]
* [[Stout Strength]]: Anyone mind explaining how he's simultaneously ripped and obese?
** Averted in the anime; he loses the "Stout
* [[Ted Baxter]]: Not completely, but his ego in the games definitely overshadows his actual ability.
{{quote|'''Samurai Goroh''' (''on the key to his victory''): "Being so handsome!" (''laughs'')
'''Samurai Goroh''': "Goroh is the greatest man in racing. In fact, the whole galaxy!"
* [[Ugly Guy, Hot Wife]]: He's [[Happily Married|married]] to Lisa Brilliant, of course this counts.
** Subverted, as anime!Goroh is ''[[Adaptational Attractiveness|far]]'' [[Adaptational Attractiveness|more attractive than his video game self]]. If he and Lisa were to give birth to a child, they'd undoubtedly be [[Hot Mom]] [[Hot Dad|Parents]].
** Played straight (in a Ugly Guy, Hot Admirer fashion) with Goroh and Princia, which would be one ''hell'' of an [[Opposites Attract]] example ''played straight''.
* [[Wearing a Flag on Your Head]]: The Japan flag, no less. The design is a bit stylized, though.
* [[What the Hell, Hero?]]
=== #03 Dr. Robert Stewart ===
Line 148:
----
* [[Brought to You by The Letter "S"]]: By the book. There is a literal "S" on his jumpsuit.
* [[Dan Green]]: That's right, kids, '''[[Memetic Mutation|DAN GREEN]]!''' What more needs to be said?
* [[Disappeared Dad]]: His father, Kevin Stewart, died during one of the F-Zero races, possibly due to murder. Robert highly respects his father and races in memory of him.
** [[Grave Marking Scene]]: It would seem that he does this on a regular basis.
Line 157:
* [[Nobuo Tobita]]: His seiyuu for the anime.
* [[Combat Medic|Racing Medic]]: He's a licensed doctor with fabled surgical skills, best seen during the Horrific Grand Finale, where his medical expertise prevented all of patients from dying. He's also one of the more seasoned racers, with over ten years of experience under his belt.
* [[Scarf of Asskicking]] [[The Power of Friendship|Friendship]]: It's unknown as to ''who'' the scarf is meant to symbolize, but it ''might'' be Gomar
* [[Spiky Hair]]: Mostly subverted. His hairstyle is fairly realistic... until you get to those two spikes on each side of the back of his head.
* [[Team Dad]]: In the anime.
