Max is one of the few Disney characters, aside from his best friend [[Pete Junior|PJ]] and [[Huey, Dewey, and Louie]], child or otherwise, who has actually aged in subsequent appearances. He is depicted as an 11{{frac|1|2}}-year-old in ''Goof Troop'', then a teenager in high school in ''A Goofy Movie'',<ref>In ''[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I1RkXekdCHU The Making of A Goofy Movie]'', director [[Kevin Lima]] describes Max as being 14 years old.</ref> and then in ''An Extremely Goofy Movie'' he is a high school graduate starting college. In ''House of Mouse'', he is still a teenager but one who is old enough to be employed as a [[parking valet]]. In ''Mickey's Once Upon a Christmas'', he is a child who looks and sounds younger than he does in ''Goof Troop''. In ''Mickey's Twice Upon a Christmas'', he is a young adult who is returning home for the holidays.

Max, much to his own dismay, takes after his father at times, whether it be mannerisms (including Goofy's trademark laugh) or occasionally being clumsy (although that is a trait he does not display obviously in ''An Extremely Goofy Movie'' during the College X-Games competition). He feels that he is much cooler than Goofy however, and is not as earnest and humble as his old man, as he can be somewhat of a show-off at times when he excels at anything. While Goofy is still clumsy, he works hard to be a good father towards Max, at one time reprimanding him to take personal responsibility by telling him about his (Max's) great-uncle, Eliot Goof, an [[FBI]] agent with a never-give-up attitude (and a parody of [[Eliot Ness]]).<ref name="The Ungoofables">{{cite episode|title=The Ungoofables|series=Goof Troop|airdate=October 19, 1992|season=1 (The Disney Afternoon)|number=27}}</ref> In the ''Goof Troop'' show, there are times he would get suckered in by [[Pete (Disney)|Pete]] and his [[get-rich-quick scheme]]s, only to come around towards the end. It seems, personality wise, that [[Pete Junior|PJ]] is more like Goofy at times, while Max seems more like Pete. Despite everything, Max loves his father, even if he does wish that Goofy would be a little more normal.

In the ''Goof Troop'' television series, Max is voiced by [[Dana Hill]], while [[Shaun Fleming]] voices the younger Max in ''[[Mickey's Once Upon a Christmas]]''. [[Jason Marsden]] voices an older Max in all other appearances starting with ''A Goofy Movie''.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Burnette |first=Matthew |date=April 10, 2025 |title=From Max Goof to Dean Martin: Jason Marsden discusses ''A Goofy Movie'' turning 30, connecting with fans through his work and hosting his own live variety show |url=https://www.manchestertimes.com/news/local/from-max-goof-to-dean-martin-jason-marsden-discusses-a-goofy-movie-turning-30-connecting/article_eb4d3c85-d899-4ce8-ac6b-8e77c3d34222.html |access-date=April 11, 2025 |website=[[Manchester Times]] |language=en}}</ref><ref name="btva">{{cite web |title=Max Goof Voices (Disney) |url=https://www.behindthevoiceactors.com/characters/Disney/Max-Goof/ |access-date=April 11, 2025 |publisher=Behind The Voice Actors}} A green check mark indicates that a role has been confirmed using a screenshot (or collage of screenshots) of a title's list of voice actors and their respective characters found in its credits or other reliable sources of information.</ref> The ''Goof Troop'' series shows some of his relatives – an older cousin named Debbie was featured in the episode "Leader of the Pack". In the Halloween episode "Hallow-Weenies", his father's "great-great-granddaddy" was Gooferamus T. Goofy, while a  "Gooferamus G. Goof" is instead referred in "Calling All Goofs" as Max's "great-great-great-grandpappy"; at a family reunion in "Calling All Goofs" his relatives are Goofy's Aunt Goophelia, Pattonleather Goof (Goofy's great-uncle and a parody of [[George S. Patton]]), Wernher von Goof (Goofy's scientist cousin and a parody of [[Wernher von Braun]]), and M. Angelo Goof (Goofy's artist uncle and a parody of [[Michelangelo]]). In "the Old Country" his father's "great-grand uncle" was the late [[mad scientist]] Dr. Frankengoof. Other relatives include Sir Goofy of Knock-Knees A.K.A. "Goofin' Hood" (Max's great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-grandfather and a parody of [[Robin Hood]]), Sherlock Goof (Max's great-great-great uncle and a parody of [[Sherlock Holmes]]), Mopalong Goofy (Max's great-great-great-grandpa and a parody of [[Hopalong Cassidy]]), and Caveman Goof (Max's and Goofy's prehistoric ancestor). In one episode of ''Goof Troop'', Goofy says that Max was scared of the witch in ''[[Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937 film)|Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs]]'' when he was younger.

Over the course of his life, Max's  has been romantically involved with at least two young ladies. In ''A Goofy Movie'', Max tries to impress a popular girl at his school named Roxanne, and ends up with her by the film's end, but by the second movie, Max is apparently single again as he flirts with a number of other girls at the college. However, in an episode of ''House of Mouse'', he and Roxanne are a couple once more, on a date at the titular House of Mouse. Later, in ''[[Mickey's Twice Upon a Christmas]]'', Max is seen with yet another a girl named Mona, whom he brings home for Christmas to meet his father and attempts to impress her while trying not to be embarrassed by his father's goofiness. Both Roxanne and Mona are voiced by [[Kellie Martin]], except in the ''House of Mouse'' episode in which Roxanne is instead voiced by [[Grey DeLisle]].

Max has a love for [[skateboarding]], as shown in the ''Goof Troop'' episodes "Leader of the Pack" and "Meanwhile, Back at the Ramp" and the films ''A Goofy Movie'' and ''An Extremely Goofy Movie''.
