This page details one or more prototype versions of F-Zero Maximum Velocity.

'This page or section details content from theJuly 2020 Nintendo Leak.'''

Two prototypes of the Chinese version were found within the iQue Netcard leaks at the paths netcard.7z\iqgba.tar\iQue-GBA\cvsroot\FZERO_for_GBA\rasheen\rasheen_1.bin (file modification date: 2006-03-24) and netcard.7z\iqgba.tar\iQue-GBA\cvsroot\F-Zero-One\F-Zero.gba (file modification date: 2006-05-22).

In the earliest build, "BIANCA CITY" is called "BA CITY" when starting a race. Also, the player's vehicle is invulnerable and automatically accelerates and drives very fast (around 600km/h). The player cannot use the brakes to slow down at all. Also, the splash screen of the earliest build contains placeholder info like ISBN numbers (all of which is filled by 0), and the F-zero.gba build lacks the 978- suffix of the ISBN numbers.

In the vehicle selection menu, the earliest build also features unique, localized text for the vehicle names. For example:

rasheen_1.bin	Final
