=== Desgin ===
ZXM was designed to be similar to the first two ZX games. Thus, it has similar refined 32 bit graphics with anime style cutscenes. Because of the hardware of the Nintendo Switch and other consoles; however, ZXM does not uses a second screen like the DS. The anime cutscences were compressed so they would resemble the cutscenes in the Mega Man ZX games in Mega Man Zero/ZX Legacy Collection. The map system is similar to that of the first ZX game, but the location of the areas are already revealed at the start of the game.

==== Events Leading Up to ZX Maximus ====
After the events of ZX Advent, Master Thomas is in complete control of the government after killing Master Mikhail (whose death was falsely declared to be because of a heart attack). He plans to reset life; therefore, he has employed the scientist Dr. Craneon to search for biometals that could be used to accomplish his mission. He also uses the Mega Men Aeolus, Atlas, Siarnaq, and Thetis to execute anyone that is a threat to his plan. Master Thomas's plan goes well for a while until two mysterious Mega Men appear, defeating Master Thomas's forces and forcing him into hiding. The Guardian forces begin to temporarily govern the country until a new leader can be found. 
Meanwhile, a group of Mavericks attack a thirteen year old boy named Spark or a girl named Ember (depending on who you play as). Spark/Ember is almost killed when Vent (appearing in Spark's story) or Aile (appearing in Ember's story), along with a group of Guardians save him/her. After bringing Spark/Ember to a safe place, Vent/Aile asks Spark/Ember where his/her parents are. Spark/Ember responds by saying that his/her parents are dead. Vent/Aile sympathises Spark/Ember and asks him/her to join the Guardians. Spark/Ember accepts and is welcomed into the Guardian community.
