In the [[direct-to-video]] sequel to ''A Goofy Movie'', ''[[An Extremely Goofy Movie]]'' in 2000, Max is a high school graduate and leaves for college with his best friends [[Pete Junior|P.J.]] and Bobby Zimuruski.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Hardwick |first=Ben |date=October 27, 2021 |title=How the Goofy Movies Made Goofy Disney's Most Relatable Character |url=https://www.cbr.com/how-the-goofy-movies-made-goofy-disneys-most-relatable-character/ |access-date=April 11, 2025 |website=[[Comic Book Resources|CBR]] |language=en}}</ref> He hopes to start a new life for himself and partake in the College X-Games competition and eventually graduate at 23, in 2004. Upon his arrival to the campus, he and his friends are met by the five-time X-Games champions, the Gamma Mu Mu fraternity. However, because the Gammas invited only Max and not P.J. and Bobby to join them, Max makes a bet against the Gammas' leader, Bradley Uppercrust, to see who will be towel boy to the other should either win the X-Games.

Meanwhile, Goofy gets fired from his job (for an accident caused by his empty nest syndrome) and must go back to college to get a degree, as it is the only way for him to get a new job. He attends the same college as his son, much to Max's dismay as he had hoped to finally get away from his father's overbearing doting. Eventually, Max manages to distract his father by introducing him to Ms. Sylvia Marpole, the college's librarian, who takes a romantic interest in Goofy and vice versa while Max sneaks off to practice his skateboarding. When Goofy gets a date with Sylvia, he rushes off to tell Max only to interfere with Max's practice, resulting in the onlooking Bradley to misinterpret Goofy's clumsy antics on Max's skateboard for skill and offers Goofy membership to the Gammas. Max encourages his father to join, viewing it as another distraction to keep Goofy further away from his X-Games practices.

When Goofy inadvertently beats Max at the qualifying rounds for the College X-Games (thanks in part to some sneaky cheating by Bradley), Max ends up blowing up at his father, revealing his desires to get away from his father and [[Family estrangement|estranges]] him completely by telling him to "leave him alone and get his own life", sending Goofy into depression. When Goofy later overhears the Gammas' plan to cheat in the games, Goofy tries to warn his son, who does not believe him, as he still wants him out of his life. But once it becomes clear to Max (during the X-Games' final round) that the Gammas really have been cheating all along, Max realizes that Goofy was telling the truth and, feeling remorseful for disowning him and not listening to his warnings, redeems himself by asking his dad to fill in for the incapacitated P.J., which Goofy quickly accepts. During the final stretch of the triathlon, Bradley activates a rocket hidden in Max's skateboard, causing an explosion that ends up trapping fellow Gamma member Tank underneath some fallen fiery debris. Max forgoes heading straight to the finish line to first rescue Tank (with help from Goofy) and manages to barely beat Bradley to the finish line. 

Goofy graduates a year later in 2001, where Max is now 20. Both father and son make amends at Goofy's graduation, and Max gives his father the X-Games championship trophy as an apology gift for his unkind behavior and relinquishes his disownment of Goofy. The two part ways amicably, with Goofy - now cured of his empty nest syndrome - leaves Max to live his own life at college and heads on another date with Sylvia.
