6	!!Tropes relating to games in the series:
7	* BorderPatrol: They came packing some [[{{BFG}} serious heat]]. Maps were usually cordoned off within insurmountable cliff edges... except, for a [[{{Determinator}} determined]] player, they ''were'' surmountable. If you managed to climb up and ride more than a few feet into the vast flat wastelands outside the cliff, you would get [[BlownAcrossTheRoom blasted away]] by an invisible cannon, and then comically plummet back to the stage to a [[BombWhistle stock "bomb dropping" sound effect]]. Arguably an instance of highly aggressive {{Invisible Wall}}s. The cannon returned in the 2013 revival, but the barriers are much easier to reach and actually could be seen (as a flexible grid) when you get close.
8	* CoolBike: Fun to get them dirty, too.
9	* GravityBarrier: The maps are often surrounded with very tall cliffs that are not meant to be climbed. See also BorderPatrol above.
10	* LevelEditor: The original ''Motocross Madness'' contained a separate track editor program that allowed users to make their own supercross tracks for use in the game. It even allowed for their tracks to cross over, allowing riders to jump over straightaways that they've either passed through before or haven't passed yet. However, it did not allow for the creation of any canyon-style supercross tracks.
11	* RecycledTitle: Motocross Madness for the Xbox 360.
12	* RunningGag: The Out of Bounds invisible cannon. Nearly every racing game by Rainbow up until ''VideoGame/MXVsATV: Unleashed'' has used it since this game, and the revival also uses it.
13	* PressXToDie[=/=]SchmuckBait: Despite the "Big Kahuna Dumpster" trick reusing the animation of another one, it always threw the player off the bike.
