Development and release
Following the commercial success of the first two Dave Mirra Freestyle BMX titles, publisher Acclaim Entertainment announced in April 2002 that it had renewed its exclusive licensing agreement with Dave Mirra for five additional years. On August 19, 2002, Acclaim announced that the M-rated console title BMX XXX, which was a retooled version of Dave Mirra Freestyle BMX 3, would not be endorsed by Mirra, but confirmed that their licensing deal remained intact, with a Dave Mirra Freestyle BMX 3 title planned for release. In September 2002, Acclaim confirmed that Dave Mirra Freestyle BMX 3 was in development for the Game Boy Advance with a planned November release. The game was developed by Full Fat, who previously developed the Game Boy Advance versions of Dave Mirra Freestyle BMX 2 and Aggressive Inline. Like the latter title, the game includes a fully digitized licensed soundtrack featuring bands such as New Found Glory, Green Day, Saliva, and Ten Foot Pole. Dave Mirra Freestyle BMX 3 was shipped to North American retailers on November 25, 2002.
