After a year, here is the latest release of the 1.x series, let’s check out the new features!

🎮 Switch Homebrew Port
Thanks to SDL2 implementation done in 1.2, SuperTuxKart has been ported to Switch Homebrew, you need to have Homebrew installed: https://switch.homebrew.guide/, then you can play SuperTuxKart on your Switch instead of... Nolok Kart 8!
See https://github.com/supertuxkart/stk-code/pull/4491/files for details, as you can see SDL2 allows porting STK to any platform with little platform dependant code.

Also thanks to SDL2 haptic and Mary, SuperTuxKart now supports force feedbacks for controllers that have this feature. Get some "bzzz" when you get destroyed!

Congratulations to Mary for her wonderful works!

Ancient Colosseum Labyrinth 🏛️
This
release features a new battle arena in a dark environment inspired
by the Rome colosseum.
Dodge the dangers hidden in the labyrinth, outmaneuver your opponents, and discover the secret path below the Colosseum. Have fun!
Thanks
to Typhon306 for this amazing new arena.

Alien Signal 👽
If
you have received the donator package in the past, you may already
know this arena, which is based on a real location of the SETI program… Now shipped
in the main game, enjoy! Made by samuncle.
Both arenas support Capture-The-Flag mode which allows online players to have a more variety of tracks to choose from.
🏎️ New

Our
artist ZAQraven99 has worked hard on revamping existing karts.
Sara the Racer has been replaced by the cute Pepper from
Pepper&Carrot.
Gnu

GUI
Improvements
-
Render resolution
Another
feature improving STK's performance can be activated via the "render resolution option" in the graphics settings.
The resolution can be lowered by up to 50%, which will result in better frame rates. It's enabled by default on Android port of SuperTuxKart now.
-
New high scores selection screen
Having
been available only in the track selection or in the ghost replay
menu (not even all), you can now find all your high scores in the
same place in a new menu. There, your best times in normal races,
time trials and egg hunts are shown. Thanks to Worldblender for this
feature!
