#10 – Mario Was A Biker Long Before Mario Kart Wii
Many gamers thought that the Nintendo Wii instalment of Mario Kart was the first game to let Mario and his buddies ride on two wheels. Well this is not actually true as many years earlier there was a re-make of the classic Nintendo Entertainment System game Excitebike that featured Mario Characters.
Nintendo tried their luck with online gaming in the 90’s with their Satellaview add-on for the Super Nintendo in Japan. This obscure add-on featured many great exclusive downloadable games including Excitebike Mario Stadium. The game now can only be played through emulation, but it is pretty cool to see Mario and his friends on a bike in all their 16-bit glory.
