Super Bikes 3 Arcade Game

Super Bikes 3 follows Super Bikes 2 in Raw Thrills' motorcycle racing line, and the cabinet was redesigned from the ground up rather than reskinned. The rider sits on the most detailed, articulated bike model Raw Thrills has built, finished with real chrome, under a shadow box carrying a floating logo. Two large metal arches run up the sides of the cabinet, and the assembled machine stands 99 inches tall. That height and that arch treatment exist for one reason: on a crowded floor, this cabinet is visible from the entrance rather than from three feet away.

The cabinet takes 46 inches of width and 85 inches of depth, weighs 729 lbs assembled, and draws 5A at 120V / 60Hz or 2.5A at 230V / 50Hz. Up to eight positions link together for head-to-head racing, and redemption mode is available for locations that run tickets. Raw Thrills lists four color options. Play covers eight licensed bikes from manufacturers around the world across eight tracks, and an upgraded QR code system handles player loyalty and returns diagnostic information off the machine.

Measure your ceiling before anything else. Super Bikes 3 assembles to 99 inches tall, which is 8 feet 3 inches. A room with a flat 8-foot ceiling will not take this cabinet, and a room at 8 feet 6 inches takes it with three inches to spare above the marquee. Basements with ductwork, soffits or a dropped ceiling grid are where this specification usually kills a purchase, so measure at the exact spot the cabinet will sit rather than at the tallest point in the room. Footprint is the second measurement: 46 inches wide by 85 inches deep is roughly 27 square feet before you add standing room behind the rider.

The cabinet arrives on two pallets, not one. The main cabinet pallet is 86 inches tall, 47 inches wide and 37 inches deep at 474 lbs, and the seat pallet is 48 inches tall, 38 inches wide and 69 inches deep at 255 lbs. Both numbers matter at the receiving end. The narrowest horizontal dimension on the main pallet is 37 inches, so a standard 36-inch interior door will not pass it while it is still on the pallet, and the 86-inch palletized height needs checking against garage door tracks and basement stairwell headroom. A 474-lb pallet is not a two-person carry down a flight of steps.

Electrical is straightforward on a single cabinet and worth arithmetic on a bank. Super Bikes 3 draws 5A on 120V / 60Hz and 2.5A on 230V / 50Hz, so one machine on a dedicated 15A household circuit is unremarkable. Two cabinets on that same circuit put you at 10A, which is inside the 12A continuous limit; a third puts you at 15A, which is not. Anyone building toward a linked bank should plan circuits at two cabinets each rather than discovering the ceiling on a busy Saturday, and international buyers should note the 230V figure is a genuine dual-voltage rating rather than a converter recommendation.

Two configuration decisions separate a home buy from a route buy. Linking runs up to eight positions, and linked cabinets put players against each other in the same race instead of against the game alone. Redemption mode is available on this title, so the same cabinet can sit in a ticket-driven family entertainment center or in a pay-per-play arcade without different hardware. A home buyer with one cabinet is paying for a linking capability they may never use, and should weigh that against the 99-inch height and 729-lb weight they definitely will.
