''Excitebike'' also featured a Design Mode, which allowed players to make their own tracks. In Japan, the tracks could be saved with the [[Famicom Data Recorder]]. Since that accessory was never released in America and Europe, players in those regions couldn't save their tracks. However, the functionality was added for all countries in the [[Virtual Console]] version.
