Using turbo too much will overheat your bike, forcing you to explode rather politely before returning to the race after a brief but extremely annoying time-out. In single-player, you race against the clock and the clock alone: you learn the placement of the jumps and mud flats, get to grips with a handful of very simple handling systems, and then you just bring it all together across the space of four different Cup runs. The game's casually impossible tracks have laps, but no bends to worry about, and while there are other riders strewn across the course, they're obstacles rather than rivals. One button means "go fast", another button means "go a bit faster", and that's about all World Rally has to say on the subject of buttons. Due to the NES's lack of internal memory, the tracks cannot be saved.There's always been a beautiful simplicity to ExciteBike, and Monster's gentle remake hasn't muddled things up very much. Upon completing a track, the player can race in it in either Selection A or Selection B. In addition, the player can choose where each lap is finished and how many total laps there are. The player can select hills and obstacles varying in size and place them in the track. In the third mode, Design Mode, the player can create a track. These opponents are essentially extra obstacles if the player crashes into them (or if the computer controlled opponent hits the player), it will cause the player to fall off the bike. In Selection B, the player races with computer controlled opponents. There are three modes of gameplay available in Excitebike. So, if the player selects track three and fully completes it, then they move onto track four. Upon qualifying for the championship race, and then placing third place or higher in the championship race, the player moves onto the next track.

If that bar reaches full (or critical) level, then the player stops until it cools down.Īt the beginning of the game, the player has the option to select any track (one through five). The B button provides a better boost than the A button, but raises the temperature bar.

The D-Pad controls movement (as well as balance when the player is in mid-air) and the A and B buttons control acceleration. Regardless of which track the player is racing on, the first place time is always eight seconds less than the third place time.

That time is for third place, but the first place time is always displayed on the stadium of the stage. The time to qualify depends on what track the player is on, but is always displayed in the bottom left corner of the screen. The goal of Excitebike is to qualify for the championship race (the Excitebike). Another new feature in this version is the ability to save the game allowing lap records and custom track saves. In this version, the 3D differs from the 3D mode in most of the other games available for the console in that instead of just converting to 3D it also changes to a completely new camera angle.
