Sand Storm is a track originating from BS F-Zero Grand Prix, taking place on the planet Sand Ocean. The track bears some similarities with the tracks it replaces from the original F-Zero, such as Sand Ocean. Sand Storm features several notable mechanics, such as Mines, small Rough patches, damaging downward Pull Magnets, and sharp right-angle turns.

In F-Zero 99, a new mechanic was added to the map, which is limited visibility due to sandy winds. After the first racer crosses to start lap two, the storm will intensify and the racers' vision will reduce significantly, similar to Mist Flow. The storm ends after the top racer crosses to start lap four.

While the track itself remains mostly unchanged, some elements have been tweaked. The course is longer, being stretched horizontally further. There are also sand particles throughout the entire track to obscure vision, getting worse after the first racer begins their second lap. Super Sparks and the Pit's glowing can be seen through the sand.
