SuperTux: The Linux SuperMario

Although we have talked about many games for linux I notice we have missed one: Super Tux

This is a game similar to Mario, made with all similar intentions ... but at the same time different, the characters, world, are different. In other words, it is the typical 2D game in which a character goes to the next level, he must take a 'something' to grow (mushroom, fungus or something else), he acquires the power to shoot when he reaches a flower, etc., only in this The occasion is not about Mario or Luigi, but about Tux:

SuperTux Installation

If you use Debian or Ubuntu just install the package called supertux which is in your repository:

sudo apt-get install supertux


If you use ArchLinux or another distro that uses pacman it would be:

sudo pacman -S supertux

Super Tux

Once installed, all you have to do is look for it through the applications menu, here I show you its initial menu:

For example, in Options We find the usual, put the window in Full Screen, activate or deactivate the music and sound effects, game language, as well as change the controls that come by default:

When we first enter the game they will tell us a brief visual story, it is more or less the same as Mario, we must rescue a certain damsel in distress who has been kidnapped by a monster, then a map appears through which we change / advancing level:

And then you just have to go playing, advancing in level until you find the princess.

For those nostalgic for SuperMario, the classic of a lifetime can install Mari0 in your distro, or emulate SuperMario or MarioWorld in zsnes (Zsnes also has a version for Windows, if you want you can play another variation of Mario on Windows, such as mario vs sonic), but those who want to give it a touch more ... linuxero to 'mario', I recommend this one I told you about, Super Tux.
