Excitebike

In the original Nintendo Entertainment System release of Excitebike, you actually cannot save your custom tracks because the console lacked onboard battery backup storage at the time. The game allows you to design tracks in Design Mode, but the data is wiped the moment you turn off the console. The Famicom Disk System version released in Japan did allow saving to floppy disks.

The original Excitebike is a 2D side-scrolling racing game from 1984, while Excitebike 64 is a fully 3D motocross racing simulator released for the Nintendo 64 in 2000. The N64 sequel features a 3D environment, a full multiplayer mode, and a physics engine, evolving the arcade-style mechanics of the 8-bit original into a robust racing experience developed by Left Field Productions.

Your bike overheats when you hold the "B" button, which activates the turbo boost, for too long without letting the engine cool down. To manage the temperature gauge at the bottom of the screen, you must release the turbo and run over the arrow indicators scattered across the track to rapidly reset the temperature.

Yes, the classic 8-bit version of Excitebike is available to play on the Nintendo Switch. It is included as part of the Nintendo Switch Online service's library of legacy NES titles, allowing subscribers to enjoy the classic motorbike racing game with modern features like save states.
