This is a script for my version of what should happen in the story mode of Super Tux Kart.
This version is written to contain only male dialogue. It is done because I don't think that it will be simple to get somebody that can record all those lines with a female voice convincingly. If there are women willing to voice some characters. Let me know and I will write female characters too. Instead I figured out an ending that could substitute the absence of voice.
Chapter Zero. The rebel.
INT. IGLOO. NIGHT.
The scene is lit with candle light. Two penguins are holding a baby penguin. They have old CRT monitors in the Igloo, signifying the era.
FATHER PENGUIN
We should call this little baby - Tux.
Title Card: 20 Penguin Years Later
OUT. SNOW PEAK. DAY.
Tux is adult now. He walks on the street. Father Penguin comes to Tux.
FATHER PENGUIN
Kid, you are making your mom very nervous.
TUX
I'm not gonna be hurt, dad. I'm more than fine.
FATHER PENGUIN
You are obsessed. You are going to crash!
TUX
You know more than me how important speed is.
FATHER PENGUIN
But you're a penguin, not a program. Besides... I wanted to teach you how to code, but you only care about your stupid sport.
TUX
Dad, I like the speed!
Tux goes away from dad to a Red Kart waiting for him on the side of the road. Father Penguin looks at him all sad and defeated. Mother Penguin comes besides the Father Penguin, she is also sad. Tux sits into the Kart.

I talked to your mother. And we cannot have this. You are risking your own life for something pointless. So we decided...
Tux is looking at them with worry.
FATHER PENGUIN
Am...
TUX
Dad, everything is going to be okay with me.

Tux approaches strangers. Those are different characters from the game. One of them is Gnu.
TUX
Hey! Sorry... I'm new here. Do you know by any chance where I can find a racetrack to practice?
GNU
You are a racer?
TUX
Ah... Yes.
GNU
A good one?
TUX
I guess...
GNU
Hm...
Gnu looks at the other players.
GNU
What do you think?
The other players mumble to themselves.
GNU
Okay. What's your name?
TUX
I'm Tux.
GNU
I'm Gnu. See, ah.. we have one person missing for the soccer game. We play it with karts. Do you want to join in?

Chapter 2. The Nasty Land.
OUT. TOWN. DAY.
Gnu gives a speech. Other characters are with him.
GNU
Being fast is not the most important thing in life. We are not here to win against all odds. We are here to play honestly. No cheating. But I've heard that there is a land somewhere on the other side of the earth that is not playing nice. There is a monstrous ruler there who also likes racing. But he is not honest. I'm going to go to that land and try to convince the folk there to join us. Or at least to stop racing dishonestly. Perhaps in this way I could manage to convince the ruler of those lands, the malicious Nolok, to stop being so malicious. Who is coming with me?
TUX
I do!
GNU
Tux, my friend. Are you ready for the challenge? I believe it is not going to be easy.
TUX
I think I am.
GNU
Well then let's go.
And they drive off into the distance together.
___________
NEW SELECTION WORLD. THIS ONE LOOKS EVIL. ALL TRACKS IN THE SELECTION ARE EVIL LOOKING. AND ALL RACES ARE IN FOLLOW THE LEADER MODE. EVERY TIME THE LEADER IS NOLOK. FOR A FEW GAMES NO STORY HAPPENS.
___________
OUT. EVIL WORLD. DAY
Tux walking towards a place where Gnu is giving a speech.
TUX ( to himself )
This is stupid! Winning a race is not allowed? Stupid!
He sees Gnu. There are other characters listening to his speech.
GNU
This Nolok poisoned you all to think that there is something fair in never winning. That only he has some kind of exclusive right to win all races. He has no such right. I urge you to join me instead and go with me to the Land of the Gnu. Where everything is fair. Yes, it might be less convenient to travel across the world now. But it is worth it. Leave this malicious Nolok alone. And come to the world where people play fair.
All this time Nolok was listening to the speech while sneaking around a corner.
________
BACK TO THE PREVIOUS WORLD. THERE IS A RACE AVAILABLE. THE ONLY OPPONENT IS NOLOK. THIS TIME HE LOOSES SINCE THE RACE IS FAIR.

Do you know who I am?
TUX
Ah... A Racer?
NOLOK
I am Nolok! The ruler or the Evil Land! How dare you win me in a race?
TUX
In this place the race honestly. You are just not good enough, Nolok.
Tux goes away. Nolok is even angrier.

Nolok is alone. He is angry. He shoots a cupcake randomly and it explodes.
OUT. RACETRACK. EVENING

IN. NOLOK'S HOTEL ROOM. NIGHT.
Nolok is talking to a few ( evil looking ) characters.
NOLOK
I know that it's going to sound weird. But I want you to come with me and race me honestly.
ONE OF THE OTHER CHARACTERS
What Boss? I don't understand.
NOLOK
This Tux can't just go away like this after winning me. I have to show him that it's not only my might as a ruler that let's me win. I have to show him that I can win him for real! And you are going to help me. You are going to race with me honestly until I can beat Tux in a fair race. That's an order!
Chapter 3: Awkward Reunion
OUT. AIRPORT. DAY.
Mother and Father Penguins arrive. Nolok and his minions race on the road next to the exit from the Airport. Father and Mother Penguins are not happy with it.
IN. TUX'S HOME. DAY.
FATHER PENGUIN
Son, we didn't want to hurt your feelings.
Tux is not looking at him.
TUX
So why did you do that then?
FATHER PENGUIN
We were scared that you may get hurt.
TUX
I got hurt.
Father Penguin is scared.
FATHER PENGUIN
What where?
TUX
Here!
Tux is pointing at his heart. Father Penguin is sad now.
FATHER PENGUIN
I'm sorry son.
Gnu comes in with Mother Penguin.
GNU
Your parents are a bit weird, but I like them. Would you might if we take them to a tour around the place?
TUX
Sure...
OUT. CITY. DAY.
Tux, Mother and Father Penguins and Gnu walk around the city.
GNU
There we have a soccer field. We play soccer on Karts too in this place.
FATHER PENGUIN
Oh man. This is very irresponsible.
GNU
As long as we play fair, I don't see no problem in it.
Nolok approaches them.
NOLOK
Hey Tux!
TUX
Hello...
NOLOK
I wanted to ask you. Would you race me? Like now?
TUX
I'm sorry I can't race you now. Bye bye.
Tux, Gnu, Father and Mother walked away from Nolok. Nolok got angry. His minions came from the other side from him.
NOLOK
He doesn't want to race me? Well... You know what to do.
Karts with Nolok's minions come to where Tux, Gnu and the parents are. They shoot cupcakes. Explosions make Tux, Gnu and parents fall down and have stars rotate around their heads. The Nolok's minions grab Gnu and the parents and drive away with them. Leaving Tux alone.
Nolok comes to Tux.
NOLOK
Let me say is straight. I will release you friends if you will race me. If you will win me. Me and my minions. But no... I don't want one race. I want a whole grand-prix of them. I will send you a message when and where it all starts.

FATHER PENGUIN
Now he is ready for his departure. Honey?
Mother penguin comes to Nolok. Nolok looks at her all confused about what she could do to him. She kicks him so hard he ends up back in his evil land.
FATHER PENGUIN
Son. I didn't think I would ever said it regarding your obsession with speed. But I'm proud of you. And I see just the right way to celebrate it.
TUX
