Story Mode
Story Mode is the main mode in SuperTuxKart, next to Online Gameplay, Splitscreen-Multiplayer and Singleplayer. It is also the most important Speedrun in SuperTuxKart.
Gameplay
In Story Mode, there are different challenges, containing all official tracks, in Normal race, Tme Trial and Grand Prix gamemodes. In old Story Modes, there also was a Follow the Leader challenge, and in Add-Ons mod there also is an Egg Hunt challenge. All challenges can be played in all difficulties, for every time a challenge is beaten, the player receives points and cups. Challenges need you to get a particular place (mostly win the race) and/or a particular time to be beaten. Also, there are two nitro challenges in which you have to collect a particular number of nitro within a particular time. After beating all other challenges, the big door will open and the end race against Nolok in Fort Magma can be played.
During the story mode, more and more challenges are unlocked due to winning other challenges. Also, at the beginning not every kart and track is unlocked, this can be done by winning challenges as well.
