''F-Zero: GP Legend'' is a 2003 {{racing game}} published by Creator/{{Nintendo}}. It's the fifth installment in the ''VideoGame/FZero'' series and the second game released for UsefulNotes/GameBoyAdvance. It was developed by Suzak, which created games for Nintendo properties like ''VideoGame/WarioMasterOfDisguise''.
Though it released the same year as ''VideoGame/FZeroGX'', it's a different beast from the console game. It's not a continuation from the previous games, but a RecursiveAdaptation of the [[Anime/FZeroGPLegend anime of the same name]], which started airing just a month earlier. As such, it elects Rick Wheeler from the animated series as the new hero in the story mode, with other supporting characters like Lisa Brilliant, Samurai Goroh, and Captain Falcon unlocked gradually.
From the gameplay perspective, it is also different from ''VideoGame/FZeroMaximumVelocity'', the previous game on the Game Boy Advance. Whereas ''Maximum Velocity'' was almost a clone of ''VideoGame/FZero1990'', ''GP Legend'' tries to find a middle ground between it and ''VideoGame/FZeroX''. Although it is still "Mode 7" based racing game and uses PreRenderedGraphics, Boost Power and VehicularCombat are introduced and Grand Prix is operated with 30 fixed racers.

!!''F-Zero: GP Legend'' contains examples of the following:
* ArrangeMode: New in this game is Zero Test, which has you run a section of tracks from the game, sometimes under handicaps like riding a machine with poor grip. Each level lasts about a minute or less -- sometimes under 10 seconds -- but they're the hardest challenge in the game to get a HundredPercentCompletion.
* BreakingOldTrends: Rather than a straight sequel of the previous games, it's based on the anime adaptation, ''Anime/FZeroGPLegend'', which is not only the first for ''F-Zero'' but very uncommon for Nintendo games. This was not for the best in hindsight, as the games sold poorly and the series went into a limbo after ''Climax'', only 1 year later.
* {{Cap}}: The maximum bounty reward collected from missions is capped at $2,550,000 for each character.
* MusicalNod: The tracks from ''VideoGame/FZero1990'' reprises the soundtrack remixed from the same game, including "Mute City" and "Big Blue".
* NewWorkRecycledGraphics: Many cutscenes and general backgrounds are recycled screencaps taken from the courses of ''VideoGame/FZeroGX''.
* NostalgiaLevel: Platinum Cup in Grand Prix mode is entirely comprised of the levels from ''VideoGame/FZero1990''.
* RegionalBonus: The Japanese version has a connectivity to e-Reader, which unlocks racers, courses, and ghosts in Time Attack. The distribution of e-Reader was poor in the US and didn't happen in Europe, so these were built into the US and European versions that can be unlocked by meeting some requirements, removing the need to pay extra cash for e-Reader.
* RotatingArcs: The story mode consists of eight playable characters with 5 main stages each. Only Rick Wheeler is available at start and the others are unlocked by completing missions, letting the player to jump between them.
