Well, there's a couple ways to avoid overheating. Ride over the cooldown arrows and use A instead of B (until you reach a cooldown arrow). The more advanced way is to release B anytime you're in the air. If you watch closely, your TEMP meter will drain a small amount if you release B while in the air. Over the course of a race this adds up to alot of temperature drain if you do it everytime you're in the air.

Awesome, thanks for the help! This will give me something to start with :)

I'm interested in learning the current any% wr strats but I can't find much info. The healer glitch is straightforward. But I don't understand alot of the routing after getting the glitch. Does anyone know of a tutorial or guide explaining any% in depth? Thanks in advance!

Hey there, are there any active moderators for this game? I'd be happy to help. This is a really fun hack. Would be willing to help cultivate and curate this one. Just throwing it out there.

This is solid info and definitely what I was looking for, thank you!!

Hi there, I'm trying to learn more about item drops in this game but havent been able to find answers. So maybe this is a good place...

I believe that every 5th enemy killed will drop a random item. Is this true? Now, if this is correct, does anything trigger a reset of the count? For example, does getting hit, taking a death, or starting a new level reset the count? Also, is there any kind of pattern to the drops; can the specific item dropped be manipulated somehow?

Anyway, hope this makes sense and thanks in advance for your help!

Hey there,

Excitebike speedruns are timed using the in-game timer for each race. So, you need a clear video that shows this for each submission. If you're submitting a full game run, add up the in-game time for each race to get your total time. iphone is fine as long as the video is clear. Audio is preffered but not required.

We like to call it the Superbike. It's a feature that's unique to VS excitebike. You activate it by wrecking 5 opponent riders in a row (during any single race) without crashing yourself. With superbike active you no longer have to worry about overheating; it removes the TEMP guage. But thats about all the superbike has to offer, other than looking really cool :)

Thanks, Fly! Yup, no problem, I've added Arcade to the list. Looking forward to seeing more of your runs!
