- Remember tilting your arms while playing Excitebike to try to make your character land a huge jump? That experience is finally a reality with Excite Truck.
- Your controller is a steering wheel - Hold the Wii Remote like an NES controller to control the truck; the 2 button is the accelerator, the 1 button is the brake, the Control Pad is the turbo.
- Tilt the Wii Remote controller right and left like a steering wheel to steer.
- Once the truck goes airborne, tilt the Wii Remote controller every which way to line up the wheels for landing boosts.
- Pick up items on the courses to make the terrain deform in real time, turning innocent bumps into massive launch pads.

.Arcade excitement, arcade feel
Excite Truck doesn't hide the fact that it's an arcade racer.
You won't be modifying your rig with aftermarket parts or racing
to win the heart of some -waving girl. You will, however, go
fast- very fast. It would be easy to stay on the dirt path that
defines the race track, but if you plan on truly winning in
Excite Truck, you have to go off road and in the air. Your true
success in each race is based on a star system. The more stars
you get by performing stunts, drifts and more, the better your
rank.
Netting lots of stars is not for the feint of heart. You'll need
to cruise through fields of trees, launch yourself high in the
air, hang on around curves for dear life and smash the daylights
out of other trucks. All this and you still want to finish the
race in first place.
Turbo originality
As with the game's spiritual predecessor, the NES classic
Excitebike, you can turbo to your heart's content, but if you
push the envelope too far, your rig will overheat, causing you to
stall until it cools down. If you smash into a tree, go to far
into the water or come face-to-face with a rock known as a
ain, you'll need to mash the 2 Button to right your truck
and get back on the road.
The Wii-unique aspect of Excite Truck is the way you hold the
Remote. Instead of its traditional vertical configuration, you
hold it in a horizontal fashion, like the center bar of a
steering wheel. You move the remote in the same fashion that you
would a car steering wheel, tilting your right hand up if you
want to turn left and your left hand up if you want to go right.
When your truck goes airborne, its front end will lean toward the
ground if you tilt the Remote away from you, and if you tilt the
Remote toward to, your truck's front end will point up, allowing
you to catch a little more air. If you catch enough air, you can
try to pull off a 720 and, if you're daring enough, a 1080. The
more midair spins you can perform, the more stars you earn. Plus,
remember tilting your arms while playing Excitebike to try to
make your character land a huge jump? Now that move will actually
affect the game in Excite Truck.
"Raze" the track
The game features a Dynamic Terrain power-up. When you drive
over this symbol, the road ahead changes, sometimes it plows
upward to give you an extra hill to jump off. Other times, the
terrain can sink, sometimes exposing water that can cool off an
overheating engine. If you time the Dynamic Terrain activation
just right, you can earn stars by sending racers out in front of
you for an unexpected flight. Excite Truck's tracks also contain
POW power-ups. This gives you clutch invincibility as you dare to
go off the road and into the woods for a star-flooded tree run.
Excite Truck lets you customize the in-game music you race to.
Download an MP3 to an SD card and explore Excite Truck's sound
options to hear the tunes you want. The speed of the game is one
thing, going fast to tunes that get you pumped up makes the game
a pulse-pounding experience.
