Each track is varied enough so that the racing is never dull. Indoor tracks generally brandish a standard, but fun selection of dirt jumps, sharp turns and mud puddles, and much more arcade-like outdoor environments often boast gigantic chasm jumps, lots of hidden shortcuts, and even areas where you can sky-ride over cranes and moving trains. Left Field has delivered a delicate balance of realistic in-door stadium tracks and over-the-top outdoor courses. The tracks themselves, which increase in difficulty as you advance, are positively unique and brilliant from beginning to end. This continues until you've managed your way through the remaining tracks. Once you've beaten Silver Round, you'll unlock the next five races (and the game's Soccer Mode, which is multiplayer only). Once you've raced through the first five (or Bronze Round, as it's called) and survived, you'll be able to progress to the next five (or Silver Round). Season Mode is Excitebike 64's main challenge and features 20 courses to hammer through, but only five available at start. The title features several different modes of play including Season, Exhibition, Time Trials and Special Tracks. And these are just a few examples of the totally intuitive control setup that makes up Excitebike 64 - a scheme that is both reminiscent of the classic game and at the same time significantly more extensive in order to stay true to the 3D environments that surround it.

You'll also learn how to use the R button in conjunction with the B button to skid around corners - another must in making sharp turns and staying in the race. This is hugely important to clearing big jumps or regaining your speed after you've landed directly on a slowing bump. At the top of any given jump, you can double-tap the Z-trigger for an added boost to your bike's power.
You'll also learn about the extra turbo boost. Once you've mastered it, you'll be able to better prepare yourself for sharp turns by angling your bike to land at the proper angle. You'll learn how to use the R button in order to position your bike while in mid-air. If you examine the Tutorial mode - and you should because it's very helpful - you'll begin to understand just how important these extra options are. As the courses increase in difficulty, though, you're going to need to dig deeper into the subtle extras of the control scheme if you're to have any chance of competing. Using just the stick and these buttons, you should have no trouble completing races, and even ranking high in some of them. Back is the classic turbo option, which is now mapped to the Z-trigger. The bikes are maneuvered with the analog stick, the A button accelerates, and the B button brakes.
