Spoilers Ahead!

Jimmy gets an accessory from one of the greatest games in the early days of the Nintendo Entertainment System. He gets a bike from Excitebike. That doesn’t exactly thrill Maria, who wants nothing to do with it. Epona, however, thinks it’s kind of cool, and tells him about a racer crew. He brings his clunker of a bike, and gets laughed at. He challenges the douchebag (who looks like a bad Captain Falcon) to a race for Epona’s pink slip, but adds that he can kill Jimmy if he loses and says its a game of chicken. Well, before the game can even begin, the Blue Falcon-like car explodes, because Maria blew it up with a red turtle shell. She won Epona’s pink slip, while Jimmy’s bike falls apart.

Being a very old ass dude, I loved playing Excitebike. Unfortunately, that bike sucked. The amount it sucked was brought to light, considering the rides the other racers had. Maria coming in on a kart was awesome, because the only good Mario Kart was the first one. I like how they make Jimmy look like such a tool, because the series needs that one bad. It’s another solid episode for 16-Bit High. Watch it here.
