In single player mode, the player receives bonus stars following the race depending on how they placed. These stars are applied to your score before determining if the player has completed the track's minimum score. In multiplayer races, the player who crosses the finish line first receives a bonus of 15 stars. Additionally, once the first player has crossed the line, a 30 second countdown is triggered for the second player. For each second that the second player has not completed the race, an extra star is awarded the first finisher.
If the timer expires, the second player is disqualified with no score. A bonus track is a fantasy crystal mountain named Nebula, which, as the name describes, is under a purple nebula.
The game is a spiritual sequel to Excitebike and Excitebike The developers passed down and updated many features that made the original games popular. For example, the giant cliffs and jumps from the NES title return, as the courses feature many hills and cliffs that make the player jump unrealistically high altitudes with their truck. In fact, the main item of the game lets players morph the land to make the levels even more "extreme" than they were originally designed.
As in all Excite titles, it is important to adjust the angle of the vehicle so its wheels land parallel to the ground; in Excite Truck , a massive turbo boost is rewarded for a perfect landing. A gameplay element also carried from both the NES and N64 titles is overheating. When the player uses too much boost, their engine will overheat, temporarily reducing the top speed of their truck. Driving the truck into shallow water will instantly cool the engine all the way down, so infinite boost can be used while in water.
Also while in mid-air the engine cools down so a player could boost and overheat approaching a jump and then have a cooled engine when they land. Water can be either part of the course or it can be reached using a land-deformation powerup.
However, the truck will be counted as "crashed" if it drives into darker-colored deep water, and it must be reset the same way as any crash. The game was first playable during E3 , and an updated build was also playable during the Nintendo Fusion Tour, with four different courses playable.
The game was released in North America on November 19, , simultaneous with the launch of the Wii.
