'''Excitebike''' ({{ja|エキサイトバイク|Ekisaito Baiku}}, ''Excite Bike'') is the brand of eponymous motorcycle originating in the {{s|nwiki|NES}} game ''{{uv|Excite}}bike''.


==Origin==
'''''Excitebike''''' ({{ja|エキサイトバイク}} ''Ekisaito Baiku'', '''Excite Bike''') is the brand of eponymous motorcycle originating in the {{s|nwiki|NES}} game ''{{uv|Excite}}bike'', the game which this [[Assist Trophy]] is taken from. In this game, the Excitebike drivers must simply go through various obstacles and do a certain amount of laps in order to win the race. "Excitebike" also appears in the [[Nintendo 64]] game ''Excitebike 64'' and in the {{s|wikipedia|WiiWare}} game ''Excitebike: World Rally''.

Excitebikes made their first appearance in the NES game ''Excitebike''. They are, for the most part, typical motorcycles that are used in Excitebike racing competitions: as they are used for sport, they have very high specifications and can perform high-profile maneuvers such as launching high in the sky off ramps. Each Excitebike is equipped with a turbo-boosting system which allows it to speed up to very high speeds, but puts a strain on the overheating engine if used for extended periods of time. On each racetrack are icons that instantly cool down the engine if the player rides over them, though. In this game, the Excitebike drivers must simply go through various obstacles and do a certain amount of laps in order to win the race. "Excitebike" also appears in the [[Nintendo 64]] game ''Excitebike 64'' and in the {{s|wikipedia|WiiWare}} game ''Excitebike: World Rally''.
It has made cameo appearances in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''.

The Excitebiker was one of many characters, such as {{h2|List of SSBM trophies (Others)|Bubbles}} (from ''{{s|strategywiki|Clu Clu Land}}''), {{s|strategywiki|Urban Champion}} (from the eponymous game), the {{h2|List of SSBM trophies (Others)|Balloon Fighter}} (from ''{{uv|Balloon Fight}}''), who were considered to be the NES era representative in ''Melee'', but instead the {{SSBM|Ice Climbers}} were chosen over all of these characters for inclusion in ''Melee'', as Sakurai saw the Ice Climbers as having more interesting moveset potential than them. The Excitebiker instead makes a minor cameo as a trophy in this game:

===As a trophy===
The Excitebike biker was one of many characters - such as {{h2|List of SSBM trophies (Others)|Bubbles}} (from {{uv|Clu Clu Land}}), the main character from {{uvm|Urban Champion}}, and the {{h2|List of SSBM trophies (Others)|Balloon Fighter}} (from {{uv|Balloon Fight}}) - who [[Unused content (SSBM)#Characters|were considered]] as representatives of the NES era in ''Melee''; ultimately this role was given to the {{SSBM|Ice Climbers}}, as [[Masahiro Sakurai]] saw them as having more potential for an interesting moveset. A factor cited as to why the Excitebike biker wasn't chosen was the difficulty of designing a proper jump mechanic for him.<ref>[http://www.nintendo.co.jp/n01/n64/software/nus_p_nalj/smash/flash/1009/index.html]</ref> In the final game, the Excitebike biker just makes a minor cameo as a trophy.
Excitebike features as a collectible trophy, unlocked as one of the 100+ trophies that can be collected randomly during normal play, such as in the [[Trophy Lottery]] and throughout the various Single-player Regular Matches. It reads as follows:

Excitebikes made their first appearance in the NES game ''Excitebike''. The goal of ''Excitebike'' is to simply go through various obstacles and do a certain amount of laps in order to win the race.
