A Great Side-Scrolling Racer for your Collection

Motocross Maniacs is one of the gems in the Game Boy library.  Similar to Excite Bike for the NES, Motocross Maniacs is a simple, side-scrolling motorcycle platforming game.  

The game is very direct and simple.  Players can navigate eight tracks, selecting from three difficulty settings.  Each track must be completed within a specified time limit, and players collect powerups along the way.

This was a solid game for the original Game Boy.  It managed to convey a good sense of speed compared to many other Game Boy racing games, and its simple-yet-challenging levels were quite addictive as players attempted to beat their previous best scores.
