I dedicate this walkthrough to my cousin Kyle Cylbulski for lending this
game to me. I have always loved this game, and you are the reason I know of
the greatness of this game. Thanks Kyle, I owe ya one.

Also, for Cougar. I miss you, and I hope you are living it up in the
afterlife as you did in this world. You will always be in my memories, and
you will never be forgotten.

------------------------------Introduction----------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

1) This game is one of the original groundbreakers for Nintendo that has
enraptured fans for years. You are a racer who wears red, and you can
challenge the course by yourself, or with some fellow racers (decked out
in blue and green outfits). You need to finish in the top 3 in a race to
advance onwards, and this becomes incredibly difficult after the first
couple of races. If you have never played this classic, simple,
addictive, incredibly fun game, then I suggest you try to in any way
possible to relive a game that is beloved of many NES fans.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------Controls------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

2) This section is going to look at how the controller helps you to achieve
dirt bike racing greatness.

o-----------------o
| Selection A & B |
o-----------------o

D-Pad...: UP and DOWN move you in corresponding directions on the track.
LEFT moves the bike front wheel up (pull back), and RIGHT moves
the bike front wheel down (push forward). This is only relevant
when in the air (ie RIGHT), but the LEFT command can be used to
drive over tiny speed bumps safely.

SELECT..: Moves cursor flag between play modes, and also track numbers.

START...: Picks play mode, and track number. Also pauses/unpauses the game.

B Button: Uses the faster gear for your bike, but it can overheat you.

A Button: Uses the slower gear for your bike, but it will not overheat you.

o--------o
| Design |
o--------o

D-Pad...: LEFT and RIGHT move your cursor to a new formation to build.

SELECT..: Moves your cursor through the selections available in this mode.

START...: Picks selection.

B Button: Builds your selected obstacle.

A Button: Moves the dirt bike so you can continue to design your course.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------Game Modes------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

3) This section will review what each game mode entails.

o-------------o
| Selection A |
o-------------o

-This setting is just you vs. the course. This is an excellent place for a
player to begin their days of Excitebike playing. This will allow a player
to learn the ropes, and yet still be challenged by the harder courses, as
they progress.

o-------------o
| Selection B |
o-------------o

-This setting is you vs. the course vs. opponents. This is a tougher
challenge for a player, because the opponents can wipe you out, and also
cut you off (keeping your speed lower since you do not want to crash).
Although they are annoying, it adds a new dimension to the tracks you have
come to know and love while playing Selection A. This will give you a
fresh look at the fun you have had the first time through.

o--------o
| Design |
o--------o

-This setting is you vs. YOUR COURSE. You are the designer, so you can make
it as easy, or as incredibly difficult for you to finish. This is also an
excellent way for a group of friends to challenge each other in turn
alternating challenge of who can get the fastest time.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------Design Guides---------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

4) This section will go over what letter builds what shape, but it will also
show a diagram of each obstacle. These drawings are not exact replicas,
but it should give you an idea of what you are looking for.

A - A small bump jump that poses little speed loss, but also little airtime.

B - A slightly taller bump jump, that can pose some speed loss, but will
give more airtime.

C - The largest of the bump jump series, this one can really sap your speed,
but it will give some great air if you hit it with some speed.

D - This one is a shallower slope, but it is a prolonged slope. Not very
good for airtime.

E - This is a steep slope, but it gives an excellent angle to get great
airtime.

F - Sloped to give you an easier climb, and a better angle to jump. This is
an opportune piece to get huge airtime off of.

G - The mirror piece of the above. It has a harsh slope, and this means
less airtime.

H - This is the ultimate jumping piece. It is a 45 degree angle (optimum
angle), and it is short so no loss of speed.

I - This is a small speed bump that appears on the top two sections of the
courses.

J - This is a small speed bump that appears on the bottom two sections of
the courses.

K - Two piles of dirt, located in sections 1 and 3 on the course.

L - Two piles of dirt, located in sections 2 and 4 on the course.

M - This is an engine cooler. It is especially helpful since it allows you
to use your stronger gear more often. This appears on the 1st section
of the track.

N - This is an engine cooler. It is especially helpful since it allows you
to use your stronger gear more often. This appears on the 3rd section
of the track.

O - Is a patch of grass found on the bottom two sections of the track.

P - Is a patch of grass found on the top two sections of the track.

Q - Is a patch of grass that cuts off the track completely (usually found in
an area where a jump can be used to clear it).

R - This is a large, many angled monstrosity that can give many riders fits
if they can not use it properly. It is the largest obstacle you face.

S - Has a big overhang on the top two sections, but the bottom two contains
pathway with dirt piles to slow you down.

After you finish your designed course, just go to END, press B, and then
set lap number with D-Pad, and then press B to confirm. This will bring
you back to the DESIGN menu, where you can choose a play mode, or another
available option. Also, remember I am representing 2.5 D pictures with
2 D drawings, so not all of them will appear quite the same as in the
game.

------------------------Track 1 Map, Stats, And Strategy--------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

5) This section is going to look at the first track map, and strategies for
various parts/combos/sections of this course. The course will be drawn
left to right, and it will just move down to the next part when room runs
out (it will be easy to follow). I will be using the design letters for
identifying obstacles as well as drawings.

This is the course map for track 1, and now you will recieve a strategy
to follow.

o--------o
| Step#1 |
o--------o

Start by using your B gear to get out quickly, and go over the first four
bumps, and straighten your bike out in the air (see Strategies section for
details) so you will land smoothly (and lose no speed).

o--------o
| Step#2 |
o--------o

Traverse the triple set of 'B' bumps, and make sure to drive near the top of
the track so you can grab the cool down area.

o--------o
| Step#3 |
o--------o

Avoid the dirt (you should be back in B gear), and jump from 'F' to 'G', take
the awesome 'H' jump, and then get another cool down area just before taking
to the air on another 'H' jump.

o--------o
| Step#4 |
o--------o

Take yet another 'H' jump, and fly over the four small bumps. Then keep
your speed up so you can try to clear the grass field off of the 'F' jump.

o--------o
| Step#5 |
o--------o

Then you just need to navigate the 'D' bumps, and then slalom the dirt
piles, and finish the lap.

o--------o
| Step#6 |
o--------o

Repeat Step#1 through Step#5 to easily get under one minute, and on to track
2.

various parts/combos/sections of this course. The course will be drawn
left to right, and it will just move down to the next part when room runs

This is the course map for track 2, and now you will receive a strategy
to follow.

o--------o
| Step#1 |
o--------o

Start by using the B gear to get out quickly, and then let your bike hit the
first upward slope of the multi-angled monstrosities ('R' obstacles), change
to A gear, and then lean bike forward to run down opposite slope. Use A gear
till you see the dirt piles, and then switch to B gear so you can hit the 'R'
obstacle fast enough to use the same strategy.

o--------o
| Step#2 |
o--------o

Use the cool down area, and get over the 'B' obstacles quickly. Then you
need to hit the 'A' obstacle, and pull back slightly on the bike so you will
not wipe out on the 'E' obstacle.

o--------o
| Step#3 |
o--------o

Ignore the jump, and use the small 'A' obstacle to clear most of the grass.
Cut upwards towards the next jump, and then fly the next grass patch.

o--------o
| Step#4 |
o--------o

Move to the bottom of the track to get a cool down, and use your refreshed
engine to navigate quickly through the 'D' obstacles.

o--------o
| Step#5 |
o--------o

Then it is a simple matter of avoiding the slow down obstacles, and drive
over the lap counter.

o--------o
| Step#6 |
o--------o

Repeat Step#1 through Step#5 to qualify easily for the next race.

This is the course map for track 3, and now you will receive a strategy
to follow.

o--------o
| Step#1 |
o--------o

Start by using the B gear to get out quickly, and prepare to pull back on
your bike so you can pop-a-wheelie. Then navigate the 'B' obstacles.

o--------o
| Step#2 |
o--------o

Shoot over the 'F'/'G' obstacles, and use a cool down so you can open your
B gear up once more. Continue off of obstacle 'F', and bounce off of the
'G' obstacle (straighten the bike out after this).

o--------o
| Step#3 |
o--------o

Avoid the grass patch here, and then cut to the top half of the track to jump
most of the grass patch. Then use the B gear to regain enough speed so you
can use the next jump to fly over a 'C' obstacle.

o--------o
| Step#4 |
o--------o

Watch out for the lone speed bump, and while maintaining a good speed launch
off of the 'C' obstacle, bounce off of the 'G' obstacle, go over the 'B',
and then the 'C' quickly.

o--------o
| Step#5 |
o--------o

Use the cool down at the top, and switch to full B gear as you cut below the
grass patch, then above the following one. Avoid the speed bump, and then
slalom the two dirt piles, and avoid the last speed bump. Then just drive
over the lap counter.

o--------o
| Step#6 |
o--------o

Repeat Step#1 through Step#5 to qualify easily for the next race.

This is the course map for track 4, and now you will receive a strategy
to follow.

o--------o
| Step#1 |
o--------o

Start by using the B gear to get out quickly, and get to the top two sections
of the track, and ride the overhang of obstacle 'S'. Slalom the dirt piles,
and then once more stay on the top two sections of the track to ride the
overhang of 'S'.

o--------o
| Step#2 |
o--------o

Ride off of it (making sure not to wipe on 'B'), and then it is
pop-a-wheelie over the speed bumps (stay on bottom part for cool down area)!
Then use 'B' to get maximum air time to avoid most of the grass.

o--------o
| Step#3 |
o--------o

Dodge the first jump, but use the second one to fly over the one 'C', and
two 'A' obstacles. Stay on top two parts, pop-a-wheelie to go over speed
bump, and use the jump to get past the three 'C' obstacles.

o--------o
| Step#4 |
o--------o

Use the cool down arrow, and then cut down to the bottom (while avoiding the
dirt pile), and go under the large grass area. Cut up to avoid another grass
area, and pull back to pop-a-wheelie so you will maintain your speed for...

o--------o
| Step#5 |
o--------o

At full speed (B gear), you go off the first (of five) 'C', straighten the
bike in the air (you will go down slope of #2 'C'), and then same deal for
#3 'C' (jump then straighten), land (#4 'C') and then use #5 'C' to get as
far over the grass patch as possible.

o--------o
| Step#6 |
o--------o

Use cool down arrow, then slalom the dirt piles, and use the jump to clear
the lap counter.

o--------o
| Step#7 |
o--------o

Repeat Step#1 through Step#6 to qualify for the next race.

9) This section is going to look at the fourth track map, some stats needed
to advance, and strategies for various parts/combos/sections of this
course. The course will be drawn left to right, and it will just move
down to the next part when room runs out (it will be easy to follow). I
will be using the design letters for identifying obstacles as well as
drawings.

This is the course map for track 5, and now you will receive a strategy
to follow.

o--------o
| Step#1 |
o--------o

Start by using the B gear to get out quickly, and go between the dirt piles,
then take the jump. Bounce off of the 'G' obstacle, then make sure to match
your slope to the monstrous 'R' obstacle.

o--------o
| Step#2 |
o--------o

Quickly move over the three 'A', and then move to bottom row, pop-a-wheelie,
and hit the cool down area. Head to the top while avoiding the dirt piles
to take the jump.

o--------o
| Step#3 |
o--------o

As you land, be ready to handle three 'C' obstacles, and then a 'F' to jump
the grass patch. Then go take the 'S' overhang, and cut down when you reach
the end, go over the 'B', avoid the first jump, and utilize the second jump.

o--------o
| Step#4 |
o--------o

You will come down on a 'C', so quickly scoot over it. Then you must get a
good speed up to get through two 'D', one 'A', and then four 'A' obstacles.
Then climb the 'C' obstacle to get to the flat section of the course.

o--------o
| Step#5 |
o--------o

Slalom the dirt piles avoid/pop-a-wheelie to get by the speed bumps, then
slalom the remaining dirt piles, and stick to the top two sections to get
past the last speed bump and over the lap counter.

o--------o
| Step#6 |
o--------o

Repeat Step#1 through Step#5 to win the last track.

You can keep going on, but the times will shorten, and the tracks will
loop. You will start over at track 1, but now the 3rd place time will be
at a much lower time. This is an excellent way to experience the old
tracks with a little more challenge brought into the game.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------Strategies-------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

10) This section will outline a few techniques to help you reach the finish
line a little faster, thus improving your chances of qualifying for the
next race.

a) Getting the bike parallel with the ground when in the air will maximize
the distance in the air. Useful for getting

b) If in doubt when taking a jump, just let the bike fly as it wants to.
Often this will be a slower method of travel, but it will be an easier
time landing.

c) Lining your bikes angle up with the slope of the landing area. This will
make your transition from obstacle to obstacle easier.

d) In Selection B, try to avoid getting stuck in a group of same speed
opponents as they can pen you in. This could be the difference between
qualifying, and being eliminated.

e) When designing a course, try to mix some harder challenges with easier
ones to create a fun course for all.
