SuperTuxKart Android

The Tux racing game lands on Android

Games like SuperTuxKart need no introduction. The open-source version of Super Mario Kart lands on Android, but instead of featuring the famous Nintendo plumber, it features Linux's super-famous mascot, Tux. But the most famous penguin in the software universe will not be alone in this kart racing game because we will also find other mascots of certain renown, like Thunderbird, Emule, Pidgin and Gnu.

If you have already played the desktop version for Windows, macOS or Linux, there is not much new to tell you, and even if you haven't played it you are almost certainly familiar with the game launched for SNES in around 1992. For those who have been on another planet for the past 20 years, SuperTuxKart is not your typical racing game, but one where all kinds of chicanery and cheating are valid, including using weapons to defeat your opponent.
