==Vehicle description==

Excitebikes 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 ridse over them, though.

==In ''Super Smash Bros. Melee''==

===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:

:'''Excitebike'''

:''This top-of-the-line motocross motorcycle can accelerate like crazy with its turbo, but this also causes the temperature gauge to rise rapidly; if used too often, the bike will overheat. You can cool your hot bike down by running over special icons scattered across the track. The turbo and ramps let you pull insane airs.'' (''Excitebike'' 10/85)

==In ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''==

In ''Brawl'', Excitebikes appear as an assist trophy and simply drive around the stage, doing damage to whoever they hit. The Excitebikes appear as 8-bit sprites in a reference to their design in the original ''Excitebike''.

''Note: This is the best sticker power up for leg attacks.''
