Silence is a planet in the F-Zero series, first appearing in the original F-Zero. It is aptly named, due to the fact that nothing on the planet creates any noise. Absolutely no life can be found on this planet. According to the game F-Zero: GP Legend, no living creature calls this place home.

Appearance in the games

F-Zero

Silence appeared in F-Zero as the fifth and final course of the Knight Cup. It is a medium-sized track with a lot of sharp corners, a jump pad and a shortcut filled with mines.
