Excitebike: Bun Bun Mario Battle Stadium (JP) is a downloadable Satellaview video game that was only made available in Japan for the Super Famicom.
The game is a remake of the NES classic Excitebike that features updated graphics and Mario characters such as Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, and Yoshi. There were four versions in all, each one adding a new character and other features.
Gameplay
The gameplay is almost identical to the one in the original Excitebike. It's the same kind of obstacles and the overheating is present. The only difference apart from the graphics is the new "SUPER" mode. There are coins spread out on the course, and by grabbing five of them, the player enters the super mode. This means that the player can boost unlimited without overheating. The super mode lasts until the player crashes, but it's still possible to grab five more coins and enter the super mode again.
Characters
- Mario, Luigi and Toad were all in version one.
- Wario was added to the second version.
- Princess Peach was added to the third version.
- Yoshi was added to the fourth and final version, however Luigi was removed.
- Red and green Koopa Troopa were included as non-playable A.I.
Trivia
- "Bun Bun" is a Japanese onomatopoeia for buzzing sounds.
