'''''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.


The player can choose between playing as [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], [[Wario]], [[Peach]], and [[Toad]]. [[Koopas]] are the generic racers.
==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]].


While the game is very similar to the original Excitebike, there are several minigames. There is the Longjump where the player tries to jump as far as they can. The other one is Boo Jump where you jump over [[Boo]]s, Evel Knievel style.
==Characters==
