IGN: There are also new items as well, all activated with similar boxes and executed with the A button. Pick up a set of wind-up teeth, and you can slow down a nearby racer as it latches on and requires them to shake it off. A bottle rocket can be used to boost you into the air from anywhere, hovering and flying with momentary boost. A hammer is also available, used to smash the ground around you and create earthquakes. As one of my favorite – purely because it's so strange – a tambourine is available as well, which will start the classic "Shave and a haircut" jingle, with you needing to hit the A button twice for "two bits!" in time. Do it, and you'll get stars and a boost. Roger Rabbit would be proud.

Racing fans will soon be able to enjoy the Wii classic Excitebots: Trick Racing on the Wii U.
I highly doubt it but i hope this comes out on European stores. We never got this game and it looked awesome.
Its very good game.. it even reminded a bit of older Burnout games..with nitro everything becoming very blurry.. good stuff.. i think its much better than Excitetruck
"Can you imagine a video game sales pitch to a publisher which mentions, "Sandwiches: Drive through the ingredients in the proper order to make a delicious sandwich.", as a mini-game feature? Probably not? Yeah, I couldn't either until I saw it in motion and did just that in ExciteBots: Trick Racing on the Wii!
ExciteBots was developed by Monster Games, the same developer behind the Wii launch title Excite Truck and the 3DS launch title PilotWings Resort. The game was published by Nintendo, and received an ESRB rating of "EVERYONE" with "Mild Fantasy Violence" listed as content for parents and gamers to be aware of.
How many hours have U.S. Wii owners spent making sandwiches, playing darts, bowling, and throwing pies at clowns during races in ExciteBots: Trick Racing, since the game released just over 4 years ago? If you own a Wii, or even a Wii U, how many hours might you expect from ExciteBots: Trick Racing should you buy it? Brew yourself some coffee, and let's take a look!...
WOW nice review. This is going to be fun and is a pretty hardcore game play wise, with online play. The poker racing is crazy. You play poker while racing two of my favorite games. After reading this the bots make more sense and the screen shots are really really good. The bots have a old school transformer vibe to them which is ok with me! I'm glad they went this route because I'd a little tired of fake realism, it's not impressive to people that are not following video games yet.
It's good to see people use the tools that the system actually has rather than try to cater to realism.
