SuperTux is a classic style 2D jump and run game inspired by the Nintendo Super Mario series, originally created by Bill Kendrick and currently maintained by the SuperTux Delevopment Team.

Instead of Mario, the hero in this game is the Linux mascot Tux. Many of the in-game graphics were created by Ingo Ruhnke, creator of Pingus.

Version 0.0.4 of SuperTux was released in April 2003. Thanks to interest generated by happypenguin.org's Game of the Month award in March 2004, SuperTux reached its first milestone, an entire playable world with gameplay similar to Super Mario Bros., on May 2nd, 2004.

The newest version of SuperTux is 0.1.3, which was first released on July 9, 2005. It includes one main world (26 levels), and two bonus islands (22 and 28 levels, respectively), which includes both official and fan-made levels. Currently, the source code, and Linux, Windows, and Mac OS X binary packages are available for this release right now. Binaries for other operating systems should follow up soon.

Beginning 2005, SuperTux moved from SourceForge to BerliOS because some of the team members preferred Subversion over CVS.

SuperTux 0.2 (AKA Milestone 2) is under development. Some of its new features include:
