Development
Following a series of brainstorming ideas for Emman's own open-world action-adventure sports platformer RPG life simulation video game, Max and Roxanne: A Goofy Romantic Video Game, which he confirmed as Goof Troop's reunion series finale in a similar fashion to Mortal Kombat Armageddon as it is not only the last game of the original timeline of the Mortal Kombat series of science fantasy supernatural martial arts fighting games but the game also had everyone in the entire franchise appearing altogether on screen being playable too, he came up an idea of a television series that will show more of Max's goofy shenanigans in his college years.

When the creator watched a video about an idea for a hypothetical A Goofy Movie III on YouTube, he confirmed that some aspects from that video would be used, like Roxanne coming to Max's second year of his college life as seen in the aforementioned sequel and there will be some flashbacks that reveal what happened to Roxanne during the events of An Extremely Goofy Movie. One of the confirmed theories by him, which is Max and Roxanne are still together, but they are in different colleges during the first year would be used. The video that the creator watched on YouTube is HandeToon's "My Idea for A Goofy Movie 3", as he envisioned it as a romantic comedy where he would reunite the casts of Goof Troop, A Goofy Movie and An Extremely Goofy Movie altogether alongside a fanmade idea similar to that as A Big Fat Goofy Wedding on a Facebook post regarding films, with the story where the wedding between Max and Roxanne would happen, which would be later used for his game, alongside his idea of a revamped, yet improved version of the Goof Troop theme song with some of the lyrics changed to fit well with the college setting while still being faithful to the original one used as the opening of the show back then.

It is also confirmed that it would take inspiration from some fanon ideas that the creator find useful for his Goof Troop-based ideas so he can write the story for his ideas, while he is taking inspiration from his research, such as 80s-based content like incorporating inspiration from Miami Vice, with more of them planned like the Indiana Jones and Knight Rider franchises, as well as the Showa era of Kamen Rider shows where there are motorbikes modeled after the ones that are ridden by the Kamen Riders themselves.

He also wants the television series to appeal to anime and manga fans, so he would include many elements from typical shonen and shojo-based anime and manga stories, albeit with innovations, as well as other anime and manga genres, although there would be some references to these things in the series.

Marketing
He already confirmed that the game would be marketed towards teenaged Disney fans in the United States, with commercials featuring tributes to Stan Lee and Michael Jackson, both of them who are deceased legends that had passed in 2018 and 2009 respectively in addition to other people that he had influenced, ranging from rock musicians such as Queen (particularly for Freddie Mercury), Beetle, Prince, and Bon Jovi, to other real-life people such as William Shakespeare and Jose Rizal. In addition, he also wanted the game to appeal to female fans, although he would market the game for all ages. As the series is set in college, he had lots of plans to make commercials, trailers and advertisements for the series, which will also be aimed for both male and female teenaged and young adult Disney fans, although other commercials will be aimed at younger audiences, such as some safety-based advertisements like what to do when you had an extortion and materials necessary for everyday living. He also wants the show and the game to appeal to female fans, as he did confirm that there would be product endorsement commercials with tributes to Michael Jackson featuring beautification products as well as other commercials featuring Max in other products used by women worldwide. Aside from these, other product endorsement commercials are planned, with some for specific demographics like some restaurants he went in real life such as McDonald's, in which would be 80s-themed and as well as a tribute to the Pepsi Generation commercial back in 1984, which would be aimed at not only younger fans, but to teenaged Disney fans as well. However, he also wanted to make the commercial stand out from previous McDonald's advertisements featuring franchises aimed at younger fans, as he felt that many of them had Happy Meal toys to promote them.

As the creator wanted the show and the marketing to have a college student living vibe alongside combining the nostalgic feels of the 60s, 70s, 80s, and 90s, he would like to use both original (plus Disney songs to fit well with the urban and college settings) and licensed music too for some of the trailers and commercials. He is also planning to make commercials made for his home continent, Asia, where there would be a variety of licensed Asian songs that would be used, as well as Disney songs covered by Asians too.

Music and Soundtrack
Main Articles: Max's Extremely Goofy College Life/Soundtracks and Goof Troop Theme Song (Updated Version)

The creator has confirmed that he is considering using licensed songs for the series, as well as including original songs for the show and even, hiring some composers and as well as him doing the score as well as instrumental music fittings for the scenes of the story such as the pizza delivery and preparation sequences in addition to other things like the sports-based ones like the skateboarding, soccer and basketball scenes in addition to odd job/at work-based scenes like the janitor, police officer, gardener and pizza delivery-based ones. He also confirmed that both of Powerline's songs from A Goofy Movie would be used for certain scenes, such as "Stand Out" being used for the montages like the training scenes where Max and his friends are practicing in a variety of sports events in addition to other activities.

One of the influences for the creator when he is composing his music is listening to Chiptunes that he found interesting (particularly those made by people on YouTube, as well as Yuzoboy's Michael Jackson Sonic Remixes and Yuzoboy's Chiptune cover of Billie Jean using the sounds of Sonic the Hedgehog 3), as well as other songs and orchestral music, while listening to songs from singers and bands such as Tom Petty, Queen, Counting Crows, Angeline Quinto, Kathryn Bernardo, Daniel Padilla, Harlem Yu, Prince Rogers, and Michael Jackson.

The creator confirmed that Pumpkins would appear, as he would like to bring other types of music from Asia, ranging from J-rock to Hispanic-influenced music.

Easter Eggs
Max's Extremely Goofy College Life/Easter Eggs and Cameo Appearances

In a similar fashion to every Pixar production, as well as the DreamWorks Animation/Universal fantasy comedy series Shrek and even the infamous Disney sci-fi comedy Chicken Little, there are easter eggs to various media, albeit down played for most of them as well as cameo appearances, ranging from Disney's original properties (for example, on the fanfiction and Disney remake discussion via Messenger, he confirmed that all of the official Disney princesses (including Sofia and Elena from both Sofia the First and Elena of Avalor) would appear as animal caricatures of themselves or other ones that fit well in a modern urban setting, like Oliver and Company's music and New York City (the setting, which would be also mentioned in the show) as well as easter eggs to Disney's lesser known works such as Gargoyles, W.I.T.C.H. and The Rescuers, to properties they own, namely the works of Marvel Comics and Lucasfilm such as incorporating Spider-Man influences, homages and references, as well as using quotes from the former's superheroes other than Spider-Man such as Captain America, Carol Danvers as both Captain Marvel as well as Ms. Marvel, Thor Odinson and Iron Man, all of them hailing from the Avengers. He also confirmed that there would be easter eggs to other media like anime and manga as well as video games and even other famous works would be included as well. For his game and the series, he already confirmed that Mortal Kombat and DC Comics are the first two Warner Bros.-based references, so he would include a few more easter eggs aside from the Liu Kang one being confirmed, like one of the employees being named after Scorpion's real name. He even confirmed that references to WB's animated franchises (the works of Hanna-Barbera such as Scooby-Doo, The Jetsons, Yogi Bear, and others as well as Cartoon Network's franchises like Steven Universe as the series had some cast members work for Disney) would be included as well.

Also, the creator is planning to include more references from franchises owned by different companies aside from the fact some Pixar films referenced Steven Spielberg and Universal's hit dinosaur blockbuster, Jurassic Park.

In addition, one of the Disney-based easter eggs would involve the Pizza Planet truck appearing, with an episode that would involve the pizza business where the truck appears where it plays a larger role compared to its previous appearances as seen in almost every Pixar production (minus The Incredibles, although it did show up in the sequel and the video game adaptation of the first film).

Changes in the Japanese Version
When the series airs in Japan, there are some changes to make it more accessible to Japanese audiences.
 * The opening and ending themes are changed, to make it feel like a typical shonen or shojo anime in the sports, slice of life or romantic comedy genres.
 * For the episode Goofy and Max: The Father's Keeper, like the original English-language release, the intro is a homage to police procedurals (particularly the aforementioned Miami Vice), but this is changed to have a shonen-based action-adventure setting, but with exotic colors in a similar vein to Hirohiko Araki's JoJo's Bizarre Adventure franchise, a supernatural mystery thriller manga series in which had references to music and singers, as well as rock bands and had Italy as the setting.
 * Some of the scenes are revamped or extended to make the story more sense for Japanese viewers, such as shortening some flashbacks that already happened before.
 * There are eye-catch cards that are seen before and after the commercial break in each episode.
 * Some of the music that did make sense but wouldn't work were revamped.
 * There are caricatures to other anime and manga franchises in some crowd-based scenes, such as the Sailor Scouts and Mamoru Chiba/Tuxedo Mask from Sailor Moon and Sakura Kinomoto from Cardcaptor Sakura, both of them are franchises in the magical girl genre in addition to everyone else from other genres, such as mecha.
 * The action scenes are slightly changed to have a feel of a shonen-based action-adventure story, with a dose of comedic elements.
 * There are more scenes that are important to the episodes' story.

Notes/Trivia

 * While the series follows the events of the sequel to A Goofy Movie, it also includes some elements that would be more fitting in a college setting, ranging from rock bands (given the fact rock music is listened to by college students) to other things such as family planning and retro gaming in addition to electronic music alongside magazines and car cultures, as they are more common in the 21st century.
 * It also introduces other things from the Goof Troop Universe, ranging from fashion from the 60s-90s, magazines, newspapers and old-fashioned technologies, to comic books as well as comic book superheroes, and even a caricature of Marvel Comics' Stan Lee (in this case, Lennar Bendaveth), who created numerous superheroes such as Iron Man, Thor, Doctor Strange, Hulk, Black Panther, Daredevil, and even Spider-Man, and had made some appearances in Disney media such as Fred's father and the Three Stooges' wedding guest from Big Hero 6 and The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement, with some nods and references to his cameo appearances, such as him appearing as a hot dog vendor in the first X-Men adaptation in live-action and Phineas and Ferb: Mission Marvel, a security guard in Ang Lee's Hulk, a librarian in The Amazing Spider-Man, a World War II general in Captain America: The First Avenger and several others.
 * Also, as a nod to both Mickey Mouse and Spider-Man are both mascots of their respective companies, there are references and homages to the Spider-Man franchise, ranging from the ones we see in the comics, to the adaptations as well as quotes like the "With great power comes great responsibility." would be used too, although there would be some easter eggs to Mickey as well, like a car resembling the Toon Car from Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, as Goofy appeared in that series.
 * The show will also explain furthermore of Goofy, Max, and Sylvia's relationship, as well as the latter two's mother and son relationship while it will slowly focus on Pete and PJ's father and son relationship.
 * Although the series is set in Max's college years, there are flashbacks to Goof Troop, both film adaptations, and the Goofy and Max segment from Mickey's Once Upon a Christmas in addition to newly created ones so they can explain what happened before, during, and after the events of them.
 * In fact, one of the flashbacks will involve what happened to Max's mother and Goofy's wife. When Goofy said the quote to Max regarding about his mother, some people thought she had passed, but the creator confirmed that she will be alive, given the fact he felt that typical Batman and Spider-Man backstories had already got their parents deceased, so he made Mrs. Goof alive and left Goofy and Max instead, although she would appear in an episode where she appears via voiceover with a phone call.
