Excitebots: Trick Racing

ExciteBots further mixes up the gameplay in the series, furthering the craziness and intensity brought on with Excite Truck .

The latest change features the bikes or trucks from past games replaced by Bots--robotic cars with a few transformations and other elements.

Gameplay ExciteBots plays almost exactly like it's Wii predecessor, meaning the game is played in an arcade-racing style featuring wild jumps, powerslides, turbo boosts, etc.

Returning from Excite Truck is the set-up that earning stars through various means (during the races) is typically more important than simply finishing first.

Players earn stars from stunts, long-distance jumps, driving through trees, crashing into other bots, and through a wide variety of other means.

All of the means to earns stars in Excite Truck remain here, but ExciteBots has added several unusual, strange, and silly means to earn even more, including, but not limited to: • Hitting a football or soccer ball into a giant goal. • Launching a giant dart into a target. • Performing tricks on various stunt bars. • Attacking with items from item boxes (a la Super Mario Kart ). • Gliding through butterfly icons. • Hitting Question Mark Triggers, which deform the environment. • Grinding on rails.

As is typical of many Nintendo racing and sports games (such as Punch-Out!! or Uniracers ), the game is set up in a series of cups of gradually increasing difficulty, each cup featuring four or five races.

The game features five cups, each one unlocked gradually as players progress through races and earn enough stars.

There are also different difficulty settings.

ExciteBots also features a two-player mode (both online and offline), several mini-games, and a feature known as Poker Race, where the goal is to race through cards in order to build
