Excite Truck is a 2006 racing video game developed by Monster Games and published by Nintendo for the Wii. It features malleable environments and tilt-based motion controls. The game was one of the Wii launch titles in North America. It is the third main game in the Excite series (following 1984's Excitebike and 2000's Excitebike 64) and the first to feature vehicles other than motorbikes.
Excite Truck is the first Wii game to let players select music, in the form of MP3s from an SD card, to be played in the background while they are playing instead of the music provided by the game. This feature is also used by Endless Ocean.
The game received generally positive reviews from critics. A sequel, Excitebots: Trick Racing, was released for the Wii in North America in April 2009, and Japan in August 2011 via Club Nintendo.
