F-Zero: Maximum Velocity
open-in-new
<p><i>F-Zero: Maximum Velocity</i> is a futuristic <a href="/facts/Racing_game/szkhmK4d">racing game</a> developed by <a href="/facts/NDcube/WSS7RTL5">NDcube</a> and published by <a href="/facts/Nintendo/dMrLpaHu">Nintendo</a> as a launch game for the <a href="/facts/Game_Boy_Advance/oRJksVAa">Game Boy Advance</a>. It was released in <a href="/facts/Japan/U5mz0SRT">Japan</a>, <a href="/facts/North_America/djNjCQIl">North America</a> and <a href="/facts/Europe/DTAtrKfh">Europe</a> in 2001. It was the first <i><a href="/facts/F-Zero/pBLKBKXF">F-Zero</a></i> game released on a <a href="/facts/Handheld_game_console/l1hmKVPx">handheld game console</a>. </p><p><i>Maximum Velocity</i> takes place 25 years after <i><a href="/facts/F-Zero_(video_game)/L7dec7a4">F-Zero</a></i>, in another F-Zero Grand Prix. The past generations of F-Zero had "piloted their way to fame", so it is the second <i>F-Zero</i> game without <a href="/facts/Captain_Falcon/gxYmXd3K">Captain Falcon</a>, Samurai Goroh, Pico, or Dr. Stewart after <i><a href="/facts/F-Zero_(video_game)/L7dec7a4">BS F-Zero Grand Prix 2</a></i>. Players control fast hovering crafts and use their speed-boosting abilities to navigate through the courses as quickly as possible. </p>
