'''''Excitebike''''' is the brand of eponymous motorcycle appearing in the NES game ''[[Excitebike (game)|Excitebike]]''. It has made cameo appearances in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'' and ''Brawl''.  
'''Excitebikes''' appear as an [[Assist Trophy]] in their original 8-bit form in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]. When the trophy is used motorcyclists will fall from the sky and zoom around the playing field in a loop, on the fighters platforms and behind them. These racers being 8-bit are completely flat, pixel art as described by Sakurai, though different from [[Mr. Game & Watch]] as they visibly turn in the 3D environment unlike Game & Watch. It appears that staying in the air will keep you safe from the bikers though material is scarce for this assist trophy. Any players coming in in contact will be damaged.


==Vehicle description==
==Gallery==
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 your engine if you ride over them, though.

The Excitebike makes a minor cameo in this game:
 
===As a trophy===
[[image:Ebike.jpg|right]]
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''==
The Excitebikes have a more tangible role in this game than in the previous one:
 
===As an Assist Trophy===
Hordes of Excitebike racers is an [[Assist Trophy]] helper in ''[[Brawl]]''. It appears as multiple Excitebike racers, all in their original sprite forms, who race around the stage, and damage players. All the different original sprites from the game appear to race across the field, along with the main character from the game ''[[Excitebike (game)|Excitebike]]''.

Excitebikes appear as an Assist Trophy in their original 8-bit form in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. When the trophy is used motorcyclists will fall from the sky and zoom around the playing field in a loop, on the fighters platforms and behind them. These racers being 8-bit are completely flat, pixel art as described by Sakurai, though different from Mr. Game & Watch as they visibly turn in the 3D environment unlike Game & Watch. It appears that staying in the air will keep you safe from the bikers though material is scarce for this assist trophy. Any players coming in in contact will be damaged.
