Love playing SuperTuxKart. I love the ability to change game files to make it my own experience. I love the ability to download custom content through the form of Addons.
I was curious to know if anyone has made some type of ‘Remaster’ of the game, in a newer engine like Godot (No proprietary stuff like Unity or UE), maybe with higher resolution textures or better lighting?
It’s open source, you’re welcome to do it. STK is GPL while Godot is MIT, so I don’t know if that would be easy.
But I doubt the STK project would be receptive to that. You’d be doing it on your own, and STK has a pretty small audience as it is.
Perhaps you should see if the STK project wants developers to improve the graphics quality (while still remaining performant on old devices).
Looking at their dev guidelines page, they don’t have any texture resolution limit other than “don’t use very large textures on very small objects”, so I doubt that the project has any really hard caps.

Do not use large textures for small objects—this wastes video RAM.
If the game supports it or could support it, might be possible to have a separate high-resolution-texture package.

Sounds like it is not broken, better fix it until it is.
Meh it's open source, fork it.

I doubt it, seeing as it looks like it’s still being actively developed. I’d expect anyone who wanted to have higher resolution textures or whatever to just add an option for that to the main game.
