Games like Super Mario Kart on Steam Deck
3 of the 5 modern alternatives to Super Mario Kart (1992) are rated Verified or Playable on the Steam Deck. 2 of them are free, and the cheapest paid option is SpeedRunners at € 14,99. One is made by independent developers.
The Steam Deck runs most of the PC catalogue, but not all of it equally well. Only alternatives that Valve rates Verified (works out of the box) or Playable (works, with a tweak or two) are listed here. The ratings come from Valve, not from our own testing, and change as games are patched.
Prices, platform availability and Steam Deck compatibility can change at any time. Always check the store page before buying.
