Excitebike: Bun Bun Mario Battle Stadium is an obscure remake/adaptation of the NES title, Excitebike. In this game, all human bikers were replaced with Mario characters. The game was somewhat based off of the 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.
