SuperTux is a free and open-source 2D side scrolling platform video game[6] inspired by Nintendo's Super Mario Bros. series.

Suddenly, the villain of the game, named Nolok, appears and knocks out Tux, then kidnaps Penny.

[7] Gameplay in SuperTux is similar to Super Mario Bros.. 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 and allows him to take an extra hit before dying.

The game was developed under usage of Simple DirectMedia Layer as cross-platform middlelayer targeting OpenGL and OpenAL.

[16] In 2008, SuperTux was used as a game for children by school district #73 in British Columbia, which had decided to transition to free and open-source software.

[17] The game was ported to other platforms, including Wii Homebrew, GP2X, Pocket PC, PSP,[18] and Palm WebOS.
