![]() ![]() Brings back memories of thrashing that Toad off Mario Kart 64.*day dreams* ahhhhh. This can be very annoying, but extremely satisfying at the same time. But they can crash if they hit the rear wheel of your bike. ![]() You Can crash if you drive and hit the rear wheel of someones bike. Why is it harder? Well, this is were the real fun comes in. So it's exactly like Section A, only made harder with other bikers. But it doesn't matter weather you come.where ever position your at (I have no idea!), it's what time you finish. You start off with four bikers, but when you in first place (I assume that as there isn't that thing that tells you the position of were your at in a racing game), there is always someone in front of you, and I mean always. Although the logic in this is a little profound. Section B is pretty much the same as Section A, only with other bikers! On yeah, this is what I'm talking about. It's hard at first, but once you get used to it, you'll find it fun to play. It is quiet addicting playing the track to beat the time, and more so with finding the right way to deal with certain ramps. I wonder if the other sports games are like this? I'll think about that later. Now, I have to admit, this is pretty fun. If you do, you'll crash, and have to press A and B rapidly to recover and get back to your bike. The best way to do this is when you leap off a ramp and you go forward just enough so your at a slight angel on your front wheel when you land. You can press left or right to rotate in the air. The ramps can be maneuvered so they don't waste time when you land. The dirt patches and grass slow you down. There are ramps and dirt patches and grass in your way. Although if your lucky, you'll find some arrows on the track which, if you drive over them, your Turbo meter is fully green again. Don't use it too much or all at once, though, as it'll over heat and you'll have to wait for it to cool down, which is a real time waster. ![]() You accelerate with the A button, but you use the Turbo with the B, which makes you go faster. You get to choose from five track to play, but they are levels, and you get to choose what track to start off with, much like Tetris. You go through two laps before you finish. ![]() If you exceed it, you get a game over and you must start again. Section A is were you play on your own and race through the track before the time spent on the track exceeds the qualifying time. I would love to do that right now, but I should play Section A first to get the hang of the game play. Well, it looks like there are three modes, Section A, Section B, and.what? Design? Really? This is real? You can design your own track? That is awesome for an NES game! I can't think of any other game that can do this. Normally I would just play the sport in real life, but this is the sort of thing I might not get a chance to do, so put on your helmet, grab your bike, and get ready as we dive (or should I say DRIVE?) right into Excitebike. I'll play this.excitebike and see how it fairs. But I suppose that some people hate what I like, so I should be respectful to their likings. I would rather see games such as Kid Icarus in the store as they offer scenarios that would never happen in real life. Normally sport games bore and annoy me (unless it's like Mario Kart, of course). It was only natural for them to bide time with a couple of sport games. Back then, the game industry was beginning to bloom, and ideas that were needed to make games were fresh. Excitebike Review by: Zircron Swift - 8.8/10 Excitebike Review Excitebike was one of the first games to come out for the NES along with the console itself. ![]()
