These bonus levels are each very unique and sometimes very challenging as well. To me this was actually the best feature of the game. The more you play through the game, the more extras you can unlock. I haven't yet managed yet to beat the game as it does get very hard near the end, but I will keep on trying. The graphics are terrible by today's standards, but look pretty good for an N64 era game.

Each of the levels is designed to be challenging and yet still fun to race on. The outdoor levels actually do venture into a little fantasy, but still it is overall grounded. The game has standard arena courses and some out door ones as well. This game has much more in common with the original then the Excite games on the Wii, meaning that it is hard and more focused on realistic jumps rather then the craziness that is ExciteTruck and ExciteBots. Even though an EEPROM chip is built into the cartridge to save season progress and best times, a Controller Pak is required to save ghost data from the Time Trials and to save any Custom TrackĪfter I found out about the recent remake of the original Excitebike for WiiWare, I decided to seek out this N64 entry in the series. The Rumble Pak vibrates for the different surfaces and when landing. Rumble Pak and Controller Pak support has been included, too. It can't be used in the multi-player, Tutorial, or Special Tracks modes, though. Each rider can perform over a dozen tricks, having standard moves such as the Nac Nac, Heel Clicker, Saran Wrap, No Hander, etc., as well as performing their own special moves.Įxpansion Pak owners can enjoy letterboxed high-resolution races by switching on the 'Hi-Res' feature in the Options screen.

Additionally, you can choose from six male or female riders who have different abilities in the categories of landing, jumping, cornering, and turbo. While you can design and save your own custom tracks, Excitebike 64 does feature 20 pre-made tracks that span indoor arenas and outdoor courses. A Custom Track feature, a hallmark of the original game, has been included for designing indoor courses, too. A selection of Special Tracks, such as the original Excitebike and a multi-player Soccer mode, can be unlocked from the Season mode.

A Tutorial exists to teach you how to take bends, how to use turbo, and how to perform special tricks. A Season mode with different cups of tracks and different levels of difficulty is available for one player. Up to four players can participate in a variety of play modes - some of which must be opened by progressing further into the game. Although Excitebike 64 doesn't feature real tracks or real riders, it does feature real sponsors, including Bell Helmets, Thor, Scott USA, Fox Racing and others. Use too much turbo and your bike will overheat. Turbo is needed for victory, but using it increases the RPMs on your bike. In fact, the turbo system from the original game has been included.
