Along the way, there are Power-ups to assist you. There are many levels to get through to accomplish this task. The game play is easy if you know any of the Super Mario games. You can also change the controls for other controller types (XBOX 360 controller) under “Setup Joystick”.

Once the game is started, the default keys can be changed in the Options menu under “Setup Keyboard”. Be aware that the game does recognize an XBOX 360 controller. The Action key, by default, is the Left Control on the keyboard. Once installed and the game is started, the controls are very easy. Just like Super Mario World, Super Tux 2 is a side-scrolling 2 dimensional game.

Supertux gamaeplay install#
The game can be downloaded with apt-get by using the command “sudo apt-get install supertux”. To get the game, Debian users can find it in Synaptic as “supertux”. The game is an Open-Source Project for a Super Mario World alternative. At the end of each world is a boss, such as the Yeti boss on Icy Island.For those people who are fans of Super Mario World, there is Super Tux 2. The objective of each level is to get to the end, usually marked by checker-patterned poles. Currently, only the fire flower power-up is implemented in story mode but there are also ice flowers, which shoots bullets that can freeze bad guys and kill fire, earth flowers give out a light which can be used for lanterns and can give invincibility for a few seconds, and air flowers allow Tux to jump further and more quickly. Tux can defeat some bad guys by jumping on them, and most can be defeated or frozen by shooting flower power-ups, which let Tux shoot the flower's respective element. Other objects such as trampolines and invincibility granting stars can also be obtained from these blocks. Tux can jump under bonus blocks marked with question marks to gain coins or retrieve power-ups such as the egg, which makes Tux bigger.

Gameplay in SuperTux is similar to Super Mario Bros. series instead of Mario, the hero in the game is Tux, the official mascot of the Linux kernel. The game was inspired by Nintendo's Super Mario Bros.
