Excite (universe)
Excitebike (Japanese: エキサイトバイク, Ekisaitobaiku) was a game for the NES. It was a motorcycle racing game and is the first game in the Excitebike series. The game had four sequels: Excitebike 64, Excite Truck, Excitebots: Trick Racing and the download-only WiiWare game Excitebikes: World Rally.
The original Excitebike was rereleased for the e-Reader, a Game Boy Advance accessory, in 2002. In 2004, it was rereleased again for the GBA in an actual cartridge as part of the Classic NES Series.
In Super Smash Bros. Melee
In Super Smash Bros. Melee, Excitebike was an obtainable trophy; having briefly been rumoured that that, along with Balloon Fighter, "Excitebiker" was going to be a playable character to represent the NES era of games. Ultimately, that position went to the Ice Climbers.
Trophy (1)
Excite Bike
- 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.

- 10/85
In Super Smash Bros. Brawl
Excitebikes appear in Super Smash Bros. Brawl as an Assist Trophy. They use their 8-bit sprites, for a 2-D pixelated appearance.
Trophies (2)
Excitebikes
- High-performance motocross bikes that handle massive jumps with ease. Using turbo on these beauties gives a speed boost but also causes the engine's internal temperature to rise. Overuse turbo, and the bikes overheat and shut down. The engines can be cooled by running over certain marks on the track. Excitebikes cap off every race with an undeniably awesome wheelie.

Boulder
- An off-road vehicle that races over hills, around bodies of water, and through fields, vying to be first through the goal. While driving, you can pick up power-ups along the way, such as one that lets you power through obstacles at an even faster speed than normal. Along with trucklike vehicles, there are also buggy- and jeep-style vehicles available to race.
