'''''SuperTuxKart''''' is a free and open source [[Racing Game]] inspired by [[Mario Kart]] and other racing games. It is a fork of the discontinued ''TuxKart''. It 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 [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|GNU]]). The game runs under the [[Game Engine|Irrlicht Engine]]. For many years it operated on a basis of little-to-no [[backstory|lore]], but that has recently [https://supertuxkart.net/Discover changed]. |

* [[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. |
