Excitebiker
So what is an Excitebiker?
Excitebike is a racing series starting back in 1984 on the NES. He's old as hell, but you got to race and it was all right. There were about three or so games but no one remembers most of them apart from the NES game.
Apart from trophies he was an Assist Trophy in Brawl. Hey it's better than nothing.
Here's the game:
Really this is the game people think of when they think of Excitebike. I don't know maybe the Wii one was nice but no one ever talks about it.

The Excite Biker is a fast and somewhat small character who excels at dealing damage while on the move. He remains on his bike at all times which is used for a majority of his attacks in addition to being how he moves around of course.
-EB is a fairly fast character, just shy of
-EB is somewhat small. His body has similar proportions to
albeit a tad smaller with his bike taking up the rest of the characters size. (I'm using his trophy for reference.)-EB can not crawl or wall jump.
-With the added weight of his bike, EB is among the heavier small characters.
Neutral Jab - Leans over the bars and performs two quick jabs
Forward Tilt - Hops over the bars and kicks forward. See Back Air spoiler.
Up Tilt - Performs a quick handstand on the bike.
Forward Smash - Revs the bike and darts forward a short distance.
Up Smash - Revs the bike and pops up, performing a stationary wheelie.
Down Smash - Performs a rolling burnout.
Neutral Air - Performs a 360 spin.
Forward Air - Performs a front flip. Spikes.
Back Air - Grips the bike with both hands and throws his legs back.
Grab - Reaches out and grabs the opponent with one arm, keeping the other on the bike's bars. One of the better dash grabs due to Excite Biker's speed.
Pummel - Headbutts the opponent.
Forward Throw - Drives forward, dragging the opponent along the ground before coming to an abrupt stop and tossing the opponent forward.
Back Throw - The Excite Biker turns around in his seat and tosses the opponent away.
Up Throw - Tosses the opponent upward.
Down Throw - Slams the opponent into the ground.
Neutral Special: Excite Racer - Summons a small 8-bit racer from Excitebike, serving as Excite Biker's projectile. The racer is fast and will drive straight forward when used on the ground. When used in the air, the racer will be dropped straight down, but upon hitting the ground will function the same.
It deals light damage and disappears on hit. As an extra touch, the racers will fall off their bikes if they collide with an opponents shield, projectile or other hazardous obstacle before disappearing.
When used in conjunction with the Ramp, the racer will jump off the ramp and become airborne for a brief period before touching down and continuing on it's path.
Side Special: Speed Up - When used, Excite Biker will gain a short burst of speed, damaging opponents on contact, and continuing past them. If used in the air, he will only dart forward a little, but still enough to be used when recovering as well.
When used off of the Ramp, he will fly a good distance forward and gain a slight boost to Speed Up's damage.
Up Special: Trick Jump - When used, Excite Biker will quickly jump and fly upward on his bike at a diagonal angle. The move ends in a back flip which damages opponents. He can attack immediately out of this move.
When used off of the Ramp, he will gain much more height and a bit of extra attack power on the flip.
Down Special: Ramp - Summons a ramp directly in front of the Excite Biker. The ramp can be used in conjunction with Excite Racer, Speed Up, and Trick Jump.
Similar to
's Fire Hydrant, the Ramp will remain on stage for a little while before disappearing, or until it takes enough damage.The Ramp can be placed on any platform or part of the stage (excluding objects like springs and hazards) including ledges. If placed near the ledge, it will NOT prevent opponents from grabbing it, and they can still roll through it, or knock it away by attacking if it's sustained enough damage.
Final Smash: Excitebike - Either a cinematic FS similar to
or just a normal one that takes place on the stage itself. For both, multiple other racers appear and begin driving and hopping around doing tricks, damaging opponents on contact. More or less the way their assist trophy currently functions.
