Story
Ten years after the death of crime lord Geese Howard, the city of South Town has become more peaceful, leading it to be known as Second South Town in reference to having formerly been corrupted by Geese. A new fighting tournament called "King of Fighters: Maximum Mayhem" starts in the area, hosted by the wealthy Kain R. Heinlein. Several characters related to the fighters from the previous King of Fighters tournaments are drawn to participate in it.

| ||||||||||||
|
Kim Dong Hwan | |||||||||||
The eldest son of taekwondo master Kim Kaphwan. He is more haughty and outgoing than his brother Jae Hoon. He fights with similar techniques as his father, but in his own energetic style. He is a naturally skillful fighter, though he does not take his training seriously.
| ||||||||||||
|
Hotaru Futaba | |||||||||||
A young orphan girl who is searching for her missing brother. She is accompanied by her pet marten named Itokatsu (pet sable named Eetto in the English localization). Her fighting style incorporates graceful movements and ki blasts.
| ||||||||||||
|
Khushnood Butt (Marco Rodrigues) | |||||||||||
A Brazilian martial artist who learned Kyokugen Karate from Ryo Sakazaki (from Art of Fighting). He enters the tournament to show everyone the might of his technique.
| ||||||||||||
|
Hokutomaru | |||||||||||
An adolescent boy and the disciple of Andy Bogard, who enters the tournament at the request of his master. He fights with Shiranui-ryuu Ninjutsu techniques that resemble those used by Andy Bogard and Mai Shiranui.
| ||||||||||||
|
Kevin Rian | |||||||||||
A S.W.A.T. officer in Second South Town who is avenging the death of his partner. He is accompanied by his colleague's son, Marky. He fights with explosive moves learned from his S.W.A.T. training.

|
Freeman | |||||||||||
A sadistic British serial killer who enters the tournament to find stronger victims to kill.
| ||||||||||||
|

| ||||||||||||
|
Gato | |||||||||||
A callous and solitary martial artist who seeks to defeat his father, who murdered his mother. His fighting style resembles kung fu and emphasizes powerful, concentrated strikes.
| ||||||||||||
|
Kim Jae Hoon | |||||||||||
The younger son of taekwondo master Kim Kaphwan. He is more serious and diligent in his training than his brother Dong Hwan. He has inherited his father's sense of justice as well as his fighting style.
| ||||||||||||
|
Terry Bogard | |||||||||||
The hero of South Town who is nicknamed the "Legendary Wolf" (伝説の狼). He travels with Rock, his adoptive son, competing in tournaments to improve their skills. His appearance was reworked for this game as it was considered outdated.
|
Bosses
|
Grant |
A sorcerer who is an old friend and protector of Kain and Marie Heinlein. He is the subboss of the game (or the final boss if the player's performance is not high enough to face Kain). | |
|
Kain R. Heinlein |
The wealthy host of the Maximum Mayhem tournament. His sister Marie was the mother of Rock Howard. He seeks to take over Geese's role as underworld ruler of Second South Town. He is the final boss of the game and can only be fought if the player maintains at least an average ranking of AAA and never loses a round before reaching him. |
Stages
Every character has his or her own stage where matches are hosted. Any stage can be chosen in the Vs Mode and Practice.
History
Legacy
It is notable for being the last game to be released by SNK before the company went bust. All future releases would be made under the SNK Playmore banner, including the "SNK Best Buy" re-release of this game in Japan.
The game was the last entry in the Fatal Fury series until Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves was announced in 2023.
