Players initially compete in futuristic rocket-powered vehicles in three racing series (Pawn, Knight and Bishop). To move to a new level, players must finish in the top three by the last lap. If successful, they can move to the Queen series for more adrenaline-fueled action but they must look out for powerslides, jumps and forks in the road while picking the best way to make it through each track. With bonus tracks and machines and a customizable interface, F-ZERO: Maximum Velocity offers something for every racing fan.
