Most of the episodes that aired of the English dub is available online. However, it seems that there may have been more episodes dubbed than the 15 that have aired.

Since then, ''F-Zero GP Legend'' has not aired again in the United States. Because episodes like "Super Scam" never aired, then that makes the episode unavailable to the public, and likely never will be. This leaves the fate of this episode, and the rest of the unaired English dub unknown. It's also unknown how many episodes actually were dubbed in English. The best estimate would be that all the Season 1 episodes might have been dubbed, or even less.
