'''''Mario Excite Bike''''' (known as '''''Excitebike: Bun Bun Mario Battle Stadium''''' in Japan) is an obscure remake/adaptation of the [[NES]] title, ''[[Wikipedia:Excitebike|Excitebike]]''. In this game, all human bikers were replaced with ''[[Mario (series)|Mario]]'' characters. ''Mario Excite Bike'' was somewhat based off of the [[Mario Kart (series)|''Mario Kart'' series]]. As a [[Satellaview]] title, Nintendo developed the video 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.
 
== Versions ==
 
There are 4 different versions of the game, each adding a new character.
 
*'''Version 1''' featured: [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], and [[Toad]].
*'''Version 2''' featured: Mario, Luigi, [[Wario]], and Toad.
*'''Version 3''' featured: Mario, Luigi, Wario, [[Princess Peach]], and Toad.
*'''Version 4''' featured: Mario, [[Yoshi]], Wario, Princess Peach, and Toad.
