Love a bit of Mario Kart or other similar games? Check out Super Indie Karts, which recently had a big content update. Could be a great one to play on the Steam Deck!
Super Indie Karts is a classic retro '90s style karting game featuring a large curation of Indiegame karts and Indiegame themed race tracks, in both the 16-bit flat Super style and the 64-bit low poly Ultra style. With Time Trials, Grand Prix, Splitscreen GP, Quick Race, and a few Battle Modes.. there's plenty of ways to tackle the tracks!
This is the first big update in a while too, here's what's new:
- Added "Mission Mania" play mode
- Beat missions like "Collect 20 Race Jewels", "Knock over 5 tyre stacks", "Beat a ghost race" etc
- Complete the 9 missions in Book1 to unlock a new character!
- Added Mission In Snowdriftland Sapphire Cup prologue track
- Added Chubby Snow to the racer's roster
- Converted scripts of entire project from javascript to c# language - this was a large undertaking but means the project is no longer stuck using the now 6 year old Unity5 engine and should make it a less daunting task to stay updated in future, also upgraded Unity version
- plenty of bug fixes and improvements in many areas

If you ever need a good casual single player game to pootle around on whilst watching your favorite streamer this is it. I have a lot of fun dipping into this game from time to time. It should be a great fit for the Steam Deck.

At first glance, this game reminds me of one of my favorite DOS games from Apogee Software [External Link] called Wacky Wheels [External Link]. The mechanics of the game were simple, but game play was quite addictive. When I did a search, I was surprised to find that Wacky Wheels was still available and on Steam.
Super Indie Karts is definitely a significant improvement over Wacky Wheels, but the game still has a ways to go to match the free and open-source SuperTuxKart [External Link].
