Excitebike Arena

Excitebike Arena is a racecourse included with the The Legend of Zelda X Mario Kart 8 downloadable content in Mario Kart 8, which will be released in November 2014. Hence the name, this course is strongly based on the Excitebike series.

Layout
The racecourse is simply a huge oval (much like Baby Park, but longer and larger in its width) with many ramps and mud spots, much like original Excitebike tracks. This track is unique in the fact that it will change its layout every time a race starts. Every layout consists of many different segments with jumps, ramps and mud spots that will change position and height. A standard layout is used on time trials.

Trivia

 * The opening animation during the countdown is the lowering of the bars, which allows the bike to drive, like the starting line from Excitebike. This is one of five tracks to have an opening animation during the countdown (the others are Mount Wario, Electrodrome, Twisted Mansion, and Bowser's Castle).
 * During its debut trailer, all characters except for Yoshi are given bikes to promote the game the track was based off. However, as there are only 11 bikes, Yoshi was equipped with the Wild Wiggler instead.
