'''Excitebike''' is a character from the [[Nintendo Entertainment System|NES]] game of the same name. In ''Excitebike'', multiple Excitebikers compete on course for the fastest time. Performing and landing jumps gives the characters a burst of speed. Overheating the engine or failing to land a jump will cause the player to fall off of their bike for a few seconds, losing both speed and time.
