* OddballInTheSeries: Of all sequels, this is the only game to base the gameplay only on ''VideoGame/FZero1990'', not ''VideoGame/FZeroX'', with all of its EarlyInstallmentWeirdness like Super Jet and Rank Out system. The other Game Boy Advance games found a middle ground that is closer to ''F-Zero X''. In addition, it features a completely new cast with Captain Falcon reduced to a mention in backstory. The sequels ignored this game and brought the timeline back to the original generation.

* {{Bowdlerise}}: The Western versions modify [[https://tcrf.net/F-Zero_Maximum_Velocity#Endings the ending portraits of Christie and Kumiko]] to cover up more of their breasts.
* TheForeignSubtitle: In Japan, it's known as "F-Zero", only adding "for Game Boy Advance" to differentiate itself with ''VideoGame/FZero1990''. The foreign versions do away with this and are given a new subtitle, ''Maximum Velocity''.

1: ND Cube was never "third-party" (Nintendo held controlling shares right from the start) 2: the game was co-developed internally. most of the designers / programmers etc are internal nintendo staff.

''Maximum Velocity'' plays similarly to ''VideoGame/FZero1990'', with nearly same controls and gameplay system, but features a new generation of pilots as it takes place 25 years after the original F-Zero race. The new hero is Kent Akechi, a self-appointed descendant of Captain Falcon.
!!''F-Zero: Maximum Velocity'' contains examples of:
* ChessMotifs: The four cups are named after chess pieces, Pawn, Knight, Bishop, and Queen. Strangely, King is absent.
* ClassicCheatCode: To unlock Jet Vermilion, you need to create a new file with a name "T&T", set up the password menu, and enter "V-J4+6V9A-30". Unlocking the machine in the other way exists, but they take much more time.
* DistantSequel: It takes place 25 years after the last F-Zero race, with none of the pilots returning.

* SoftReboot: Although the game is in the same continuity with the previous game (whether said game is ''VideoGame/FZero1990'' or ''VideoGame/FZeroX'' isn't clear), it takes place after a 25-year TimeSkip with a new generation of characters.
