Vs. Excitebike is played by racing a dirt bike across tracks filled with obstacles. You control the bike by shifting between lanes, tilting forward and backward, and accelerating with an optional booster that overheats after a while. It's simple, yet mastering how to tilt your bike effectively to not slow down or crash is both tricky and necessary if you want to win. The amount of depth and ingenuity put in to Excitebike's core gameplay is something that game developers are still striving to achieve.

In Vs. Excitebike, you race each track by yourself first and if you beat it in under the par time then you qualify to race with opponents. Once you pass that, you move on to challenge the next race and with seven in total. At two points throughout the campaign you'll get to play a bonus round where you leap over trucks which is an enjoyable diversion to the otherwise hectic races.

Vs. Excitebike is a true classic racing gem, that takes the original Excitebike for the NES and improves on it by adding bonus stages and a campaign system that alternates between racing on your own and against competitors.
