'''''Excitebike: Bun Bun Mario Battle''''' is a remake/adaptation of ''{{iw|nwiki|Excitebike}}''. All the motorcyclists in the game were replaced with characters of the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]]. As this video game is a [[Satellaview]] title, [[Nintendo]] developed the game and released four versions of it through the satellite download service operated by [[St.GIGA]], each expanding on or replacing the features of the last.

==Episodes==
There are four different episodes of the game, each adding a new playable character.
*'''Episode 1''' features [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], and [[Toad]].
*'''Episode 2''' adds [[Wario]].
*'''Episode 3''' adds [[Princess Peach]].
*'''Episode 4''' replaces Luigi with [[Yoshi]].

==Characters==

There are six main characters: [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], [[Princess Peach|Peach]], [[Toad]], [[Wario]], and [[Yoshi]]. Red and Green [[Koopa Troopa]]s appear as non-playable opponents. Wario appears as a non-playable opponent as well in Episode 1, but he is playable in all subsequent episodes.
