The Excitebike biker was one of many characters - such as {{h2|List of SSBM trophies (Others)|Bubbles}} (from {{uv|Clu Clu Land}}), the main character from {{uvm|Urban Champion}}, and the {{h2|List of SSBM trophies (Others)|Balloon Fighter}} (from {{uv|Balloon Fight}}) - who [[Unused content (SSBM)#Characters|were considered]] as representatives of the NES era in ''Melee''; ultimately this role was given to the {{SSBM|Ice Climbers}}, as [[Masahiro Sakurai]] saw them as having more potential for an interesting moveset. A factor cited as to why the Excitebike biker wasn't chosen was the difficulty of designing a proper jump mechanic for him.<ref>[http://www.nintendo.co.jp/n01/n64/software/nus_p_nalj/smash/flash/1009/index.html]</ref> In the final game, the Excitebike biker just makes a minor cameo as a trophy.

|desc=This top-of-the-line motocross motorcycle can accelerate like crazy with its turbo, but this also causes the temperature gauge to rise rapidly; if used too often, the bike will overheat. You can cool your hot bike down by running over special icons scattered across the track. The turbo and ramps let you pull insane airs.

|desc-ntsc=High-performance motocross bikes that handle massive jumps with ease. Using turbo on these beauties gives a speed boost but also causes the engine's internal temperature to rise. Overuse turbo, and the bikes overheat and shut down. The engines can be cooled by running over certain marks on the track. Excitebikes cap off every race with an undeniably awesome wheelie.
