Championship Motocross 2001 featuring Ricky Carmichael (USA)

Getting Started

When you boot up Championship Motocross 2001, you'll be greeted by a title screen and a menu. From there you can choose single race, championship mode, or time trial. Pick a mode that suits you - championship mode has you racing through a series of tracks to accumulate points. Each race pits you against computer opponents on dirt circuits with bumps and jumps.

Use the D-Pad to steer your bike, accelerate with the B button, and brake with A if needed. On straightaways you can tuck in to go faster by pressing down. The key to winning is managing your speed through corners and using the jump button to clear obstacles. Leaning forward or backward on the bike affects your landing, so practice on each track to find the best rhythm.

If you're new, start with time trial to learn the layout without pressure. The game is fairly straightforward - finish in the top positions to advance. Pay attention to your bike's condition; you don't want to crash too often. It's a typical early 2000s handheld racer, so don't expect deep physics, but it's solid for a quick motocross fix.
