Template:Newsubject Template:Racecourse Excitebike Arena is a racecourse included with the The Legend of Zelda × Mario Kart 8 downloadable content in Mario Kart 8 as the second course in the Egg Cup. This course is strongly based on the NES game Excitebike.
Layout
The racecourse is simply a huge oval (much like Baby Park, but longer and larger in its width) with many ramps and mud spots, much like original Excitebike tracks. This track is unique in the fact that the layout changes every time a race starts. Every layout consists of many different segments with jumps, ramps and mud spots that will change position and height. A standard layout is used on time trials.[1]

Trivia
- The opening animation during the countdown to the race is the lowering of the bars, which allows the character to drive, like the starting line from Excitebike. This is one of five tracks to have an opening animation during the countdown (the others are Mount Wario, Electrodrome, Twisted Mansion, and Bowser's Castle).
- During its debut trailer, all characters except for Yoshi are given bikes to promote the game the track was based off. However, as there are only 11 bikes, Yoshi was equipped with the Wild Wiggler instead.
- This is the only nitro course in Mario Kart 8 that has no anti-gravity sections.
- Signs featuring the Famicom box art for Excitebike can be seen throughout the course.
