Twenty-five years after many racers like [[Captain Falcon]] had piloted their way to fame, a new generation of racers have continued to race in the Grand Prix. The game is an alternate sequel to the original ''[[F-Zero]]'', as none of the events from ''[[F-Zero X]]'' (such as the safety measures) apply to the game. It is also the only game in the series not to feature Captain Falcon, [[Samurai Goroh]], [[Pico]], and [[Dr. Stewart]]. One of the racers, [[Pilots in Maximum Velocity#Kent Akechi|Kent Akechi]], claims to be Falcon's son. Likewise, the [[Pilots in Maximum Velocity#Silver Thunder|Silver Thunder]] is credited as being developed by Dr. Stewart.

Using link cables, the game can be played multiplayer for 2 to four players. In single-pack mode, only the track Silence is playable (one of two tracks from the original game) and all players use the same car. In multi-pack mode, players can choose any car (that has been unlocked by any player) and have access to all multiplayer tracks.

In 2003, the game was followed up by ''[[F-Zero GX]]'' on the [[Gamecube]]. However the next handheld ''F-Zero'' game would arrive later the same year, ''[[F-Zero: GP Legend]]''. However, none of the games since then have featured characters from ''Maximum Velocity''.
 
 
*In 2011, ''Maximum Velocity'' was part of the set of Game Boy Advance games that were released for free download on the [[3DS]] to those participating in the [[3DS Virtual Console#Ambassador_Program|Ambassador Program]]. It never received a standard eShop release on the 3DS, but it was later released for the [[Wii U Virtual Console]] in April 2014.
 
*In March 2024, the game was added to the [[Nintendo Switch]]'s digital library of Game Boy Advance games that were made available for subscribers of the [[Nintendo Switch Online]]'s Expansion Pack program. This release supported local and online multiplayer.
