SuperTux is a free, open source computer game inspired by Super Mario Bros.. You may immediately download it. The game is a sidescrolling platform adventure starring Tux the Linux penguin. The current version is "SuperTux milestone 2" or "SuperTux 0.6.0".

Hardware[ | ]

SuperTux uses OpenGL, OpenAL, SDL2 and requires 3D acceleration.

The story[ | ]

SuperTux has a story similar to Super Mario Bros. in that the hero must set off to free a hostage taken by the villain.

At the beginning of the game, a cutscene plays, showing Tux having a picnic with his girlfriend Penny. Tux starts dancing, and while he is distracted, Nolok, the villain of the game captures Penny and takes her away. Tux realizes he has to save her, and the game starts.

Tux must pass through several levels before arriving at Nolok's fortress. To keep the suspense, this page does not disclose the ending of the game.

The Game[ | ]

There are no lives. If Tux dies in a level, he will simply respawn, unless he has reached a midpoint, in which case he will also lose a few coins.

Your progress is automatically saved.

Difficulty[ | ]

The normal game is easy and can be done by anyone, althrough it is not overly simple nor boring.

On the contrary, some levels of the Bonus Island are very difficult.

There are some items, such as:

__IMAGE__ makes Tux be bigger __IMAGE__

__IMAGE__ turns Tux into fire Tux __IMAGE__

Being hit by an enemy reverts Tux to his previous form.

While the normal sized Tux doesn't give you an enormous advantage, being fire Tux gives you an enormous advantages, losing this item can render levels much more difficult, especially in the Bonus Islands.

Worlds[ | ]

In version 0.6.0, there are 2 main worlds and are 3 Bonus Islands.
