F-Zero: GP Legend (エフゼロ ファルコンでんせつ、英名, F-ZERO THE LEGEND OF FALCON) is a futuristic racing video game for the Game Boy Advance. It uses the same engine as F-Zero: Maximum Velocity, a previous F-Zero game on the Game Boy Advance. Gameplay is very similar and just like the past F-Zero Game Boy game, this one is considered a reboot.

The game features eight playable characters, including newcomer Rick Wheeler (Ryu Suzaku in Japan), the evil Black Shadow, and series hero Captain Falcon. As in earlier games, a story-driven campaign leads players in a series of futuristic races through the diverse environments of many different planets. F-Zero GP Legend offers time trials, a Challenge mode, and four Grand Prix events. Link cable racing allows up to four players to compete together.

Additions and Differences from F-Zero: Maximum Velocity

  • A boost can be used any time after the first lap if the machine has enough energy, however using it will damage the machine.
  • A new story mode, where the players can play as many different people, most of whom have to be unlocked.
  • The story itself takes place during the traditional F-Zero time period rather than the post-Captain Falcon era in Maximum Velocity.
