I'm planning to buy Sonic ~~& SEGA~~ All-Stars Racing Transformed ~~(what a title...)~~(Edit:I'm stoopid) and I remembered how fun it felt to control the first game on the Wii.

I tried looking up if you can replicate the same on the Steam Deck with its gyro, but my searches mostly talk about connecting steering wheel controllers. Did anyone use a setup like this from the community layouts, does it even work?

you can at the very least map analog sticks to the decks gyro, i played one of the Dirt games like that. Should be great for arcade style games like sonic all stars racing or mario kart.

I specifically want turning the Deck rather than moving it left and right, and I only know of the latter, but I didn't look around much.

the gyro can be set to "joystick" and "as joystick" one of those allows you to limit the gyro to rotation around an axis, that should give you what you want.
