SuperTuxKart



SuperTuxKart is a Racing Game. It's a Libre software Mario Kart clone which features the most well-known libre software mascots, including Tux (the mascot of Linux), Konqi (the mascot of KDE), Wilber (the mascot of the Gimp), and GNU (the mascot of GNU). The game runs under the Irrlicht Engine. For many years it operated on a basis of little-to-no lore, but that has recently changed.

The game can be downloaded for free here.

Not to be confused with Tux Racer.


 * Bonnie Scotland: The "Scotland" track.
 * Build Like an Egyptian: The "Shifting Sands" track.
 * Car Fu
 * Crossover: the premise being that all the libre mascots, no matter which unrelated project they are 'from', live (and recreate) in the Mascot Kingdom (spoofing the Mushroom Kingdom).
 * The Computer Is a Cheating Bastard: In the race against Nolok in the story mode, Nolok gets to set bubblegum (which for him looks like some sort of green slime with spikes) and activate a flyswatter (which for him looks like a hammer) at will. Given Nolok's Artificial Stupidity, however, it doesn't help him all that much.
 * Everything's Better with Penguins: Tux.
 * Jungle Japes: The "Amazonian Journey" track. Mild example with the "Secret Garden" track.
 * Lethal Lava Land: The "Fort Magma" track.
 * Palmtree Panic: "The Island" track.
 * One World Government: Despite multiple countries in the world, they all seem to be ruled by Princess Sara as the 'Mascot Kingdom'.
 * Shout-Out:
 * One of the predefined messages for the item swapper is "A Wizard Did It".
 * One of the predefined messages for the anchor is " pays the next round of grog".
 * Slippy-Slidey Ice World: A frictionless variant on two stages: "Snow Peak" and "Northern Resort".
 * Talk Like a Pirate: Several instances involving the use of the anchor item.
 * Unlockable Content: Many of the tracks, the Follow The Leader gametype, and GNU, by beating the story mode.
 * Wacky Racing
