Trivia[]
- Some Story Mode were changed, in the case: the stage 48 where Eiji Kamiya drove a pink Silvia S15 in MT3 is replaced with a newly pink Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X.
- Yoshiaki Ishida drive an Gemballa Avalanche (Japan)/Alcyone SVX Version L (CXD) (English) instead drive an Ferrari Testarossa, unlike in manga and anime due Namco lacking licensed Ferrari in WMMT and only character to drive different car in WMMT series. In WMMT4, Yoshiaki drive an Corvette ZR1 in WMMT4 until 5DX+ and Aventador in WMMT6 onward).
- The first half Zero Fighter on the Ground arc is ommitted due some location are not featured until Wangan Midnight Maximum Tune 6. The same reason, Yuji Kishida drive an MX-5 NCEC instead S2000 unlike in manga. The reason was due Honda is unvalaible in series until later appeared in Wangan Midnight Maximum Tune 5DX+. In Wangan Midnight Maximum Tune 6, Yuji drive an S2000 in second half Zero Fighter on the Ground arc.
- The FD Master arc is remained same in Wangan Midnight Maximum Tune 6 (with exception some chapter are different) as Shinji Ogishima drive an Pure Wihite RX-7, while in WMMT6, his RX-7 colour is Innocent Blue Mica.
- With Story Mode remianed same in Wangan Midnight Maximum Tune 3DX+, this will be last to feature arc of Garage ACE, Legendary F1 Turbine, Zero Fighter on the Ground, and FD Master as the remaining arc were ommited in WMMT4-5DX+ until release of Wangan Midnight Maximum Tune 6. This was also the last to feature non Wangan Midnight character (Pacman/Don Wada) as WMMT4 Story Mode are reworking and reduced to 60 Story.
