BS F-Zero Grand Prix (BS F-ZERO グランプリ) was a four-part Soundlink game to the original F-Zero. It was launched only in Japan for the Satellaview attachment for the Super Famicom. BS F-Zero Grand Prix contained four different playable vehicles and four new tracks near the end of each broadcast, as well as the 15 tracks from the original game. Commentary was provided by Bucky Koba, Tsutomu Tareki, and Seiichi Hirai. A follow-up to the game was later distributed as BS F-Zero Grand Prix 2.

According to Nintendo Power the game was considered to be released via Game Pak.

Circuits

The new fifth tracks have been altered in BS F-Zero Grand Prix 2. Mute City IV was oddly never released until the sequel, so Mute City I, from Week 1, was recycled for Week 4.

• Most of the soundtrack used in the Soundlink games were lifted from the Jazz album (albeit remixed version) or the Nintendo Super Famicom Game Music, while a couple of songs, mostly Port Town or Fire Field, appear to be new.
