SuperTux, Open Source Linux Mario

Filed under: adventuregames — Nick @ 9:35 pm

If you are a fan of the Linux Penguin and Super Brothers 3, then you’ll like SuperTux, a combination of the two. It seems more that SuperTux just cloned Super Mario 3 and changed the characters.
Just look at the way you move through the levels, it couldn’t be more similar to Super Mario 3. In any case, SuperTux is a great way to relive the old days of Mario.

According to the authors, “SuperTux is a classic 2D jump’n run sidescroller game in a style similar to the original SuperMario games. The Milestone1 release of SuperTux features 9 enemies, 26 playable levels, software and OpenGL rendering modes, configurable joystick and keyboard input, new music and completly redone graphics. Together with a little story, we hope to provide a good gaming experince with this first Milestone release. “
