This is a list of ideas. These are mostly features that could be added to SuperTux at some point in the future. These will certainly need more discussion in the future.
Artwork
Graphics
- Different players? (very low priority)
- Forest
- Tile variance
- Snowy Forest (needs discussion)
- Wasteland
- Tiles and Background as pictured in the upper left-hand corner of http://supertux.lethargik.org/wiki/images/9/97/Forestworldoverview.jpg
- Worldmap tileset
- Improve stone graphics of Tux
- Portable objects (needs discussion)
- Grabbing
- Tux running while holding portable objects
- Wallstone tileset and backgrounds
Levels
- Tileset variance: Snowy Forest (needs discussion, needs graphics if we decide to add)
Code
- Ice crusher sound should be deeper / lighter depending on size of icecrusher sprite.
- Ice floe as a game object (might also depend on fluid simulation as game object)
- Mega Tux power up (suggested in issue #582)
- Arrow key navigation for text fields.
- Squirrel code completion for MN_SCRIPT items. This is a huge undertaking, but easier for people who want to get into scripting.
- Exporting created levelsets / worldmaps as ZIP files
- Upon dropping a layer / badguy onto the sector, open its properties (configurable in Options).
GamePlay
Suggested Tiles
Some new suggested tile types from [[Tiles]]:
- Slime/Mud - Slow down Tux's movement
- Quicksand - Tux could sink slowly in this and be slower than usual
Rope
this could also be implemented as a jungle vine especially for world 2 - zratchet
Tux is turning into Indiana Jones. Swinging on ropes, having darts fired at him by skulls on the wall, acquiring artifacts...but I kind of like that. --[[User#julius Freezer|Julius_Freezer]] 14:07, 3 June 2009 (UTC)
Sonic Spin Dash
HOw about something like Sonic the Hedgehog's rev up spin dash? A rev up sliding move. Or, a Sonic Clone as a project. Slide dash away. Also would be cool to have loops
*Maybe Tux can destroy things with his beak when sliding. I like the sliding idea as all penguins do it.

User_ideas%2FImplemented
Pre/Post story movie
Instead of showing scrolling text, movies can be shown stating Penny's kidnap... and at-last the re-union. Wouldn't that be nice?
I still remember the old SuperTux intro with Penny being kidnapped by the helicopter... as far as I know, cutscene support is on the TODO list, and I guess it will be used for the story intro. --Ravu 14:30, 7 Apr 2005 (BST)
Wrong! The story was Tux and Penny were having a picnic, when a creature jumped from behind an ice bush, there was a flash and Tux fell asleep when he woke up there was a note from Nolok saying he had Penny and not to try and save her. So Tux looks sees Nolok's castle and sets off.
I think in the story was: “A creature jumped from behind an ice bush, Tux...” ;-)- penma -
The *old* (as in 0.0.5) cutscene involved the helicopter. The new SVN cutscene is the picnic scene. --Tuxdev 22:00, 1 Oct 2006 (CEST)
Now we have the demos feature in SVN, and it shouldn't be too hard to make a 'movie' level for showing a demo mid-story. --Ajdlinux 23:20, 30 Sep 2005 (BST)
Add a gamepad configuration
It's currently possible to use a gamepad, but the setup must be done by manually editing the SuperTux configuration file.
This has been improved in the development version. supertux now uses all available joysticks and allows to configure the actions for the different joystick buttons.
More starting points
Some levels are very hard in the middle and in the ending. Is there a way to make more starting points? So you haven't to start everytime at beginning of the level. Sometimes I need ten and more trials to cope a situation. It will be very useful. Thanks for the good game! Martin (pmw(at)web(dot)de)
Reset points are also being planned. ~~Ravu 17:28, 8 May 2005 (BST)
perhaps it should be possible to see that you are passing a resetpoint!
Restart points exist in the SVN version, they are marked by butterfly.
also in the virsion on the download page, “unstable”, 0.1.9, or 0.3.0 (<-all the same)
New tiles for the worldmap
I already designed some additional worldmap objects for Supertux 0.1.2, e.g. paths through the forest or something like “water ways”. Maybe in MS 2 some kind of swimming tux in worldmap could be possible, or walking over a bridge. (For my current solution I only added something to my antarctica.stwt.) - penma -
In svn: bridges, boats
One-way platforms
(An idea from Stephen2985, taken from lists.berlios.de/pipermail/supertux-devel/2005-August/000570.html the Supertux-devel archives)
I would recommend platforms that could be jumped through from the bottom but you can't fall through them if you are on top. SSB has this, as well as many mario and platforming game. This allows for Points of No Return, and would make the game capable of better and less redundant level design
In svn: unisolid tiles
also in “unstable” download
Better rewards
(An idea from Stephen2985, taken from [lists.berlios.de/pipermail/supertux-devel/2005-August/000570.html the Supertux-devel archives])
A more fitting reward should be accomplished for collecting coins. Yoshi's Island had red coins, Super Mario Sunshine had Extra Shines, etc.
In svn: 25 coins let Tux respawn from the latest firefly
also in “unstable” download
- Maybe teleports (or something) that cost a certain number of coins to get through?
- How about the shops on Super Mario 3? they were really a good idea.. I don't understand why they dropped it for Super Mario World --80.174.65.16 21:16, 11 Aug 2006 (BST)
Supertux might be inspired Super Mario. (Basicly because Mario did almost everything you can do in a sidescroller) But that does not mean we have to clone everything Mario ever did.
However, shops are not so typical in Super Mario games and appear in many other games, it is a coherent use for coins. There are a lot of things from Super Mario not strictly necessary for Super Tux that were mentioned here without complain (Yoshi-like NPC, the BowserKoopa-clonic final boss and even the kidnapping storyline)
One-liners
- Pulling levers - activate/deactivate/open/close things. Added in SVN today thanks to me (mmiikkee12) :-) (they're called switches but they're more like levers)
- Standing on switches - activate/open things.
- In svn (not sure what revision) - just put a script trigger over the platform
- Wind - make it difficult for Tux to move, push him back, and push him much back if he jump.
- In svn (since r3640). --AnMaster 11:08, 30 Jun 2006 (BST)
- Ice pick - to crush blocking ice in order to enter closed areas.
- In svn (since 3468): Straw Blocks that can be destroyed with fire shot
- Falling bridge - when walk on it, it fall apart, so cant go back and must hurry.
- In svn (since 2296): Blocks that crumble when Tux steps on them
- Bounce pad, thing or something that when Tux jump on it, he bounce up and jumps really high! :D
- SVN has trampolines.
- Falling bounce pad- once bounced on falls down so you must use it well.
- Pushable crates - you push the crate to another place where you need it to jump on it so you can reach higher or something.
- SVN has carriable rocks.
- Switches might also rise water level.
- Already in SVN (see level “Knee-deep in the depth”)
- HelmetTux could wear a helmet, stopping attacks from above, when he ducks he pulls it over himself, making him invincible
- Scrolling in menu so that we can access all the test collection directly from the game. Currently it just overflows outside the screen and can only be accessed blindly through keyboard.
- This is a must. I don't understand why isn't it still here..
- This is a must. I don't understand why isn't it still here..
You did not implement it. I don't think it is that urgent. Real worlds have a worldmap, to test something you can use command line or call level from editor anyway. --Superdev 22:14, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
In SVN since revision 5420.
- BillBoss - there's probably a good reason, but why doesn't Microsoft play a greater role as an enemy of tux? Couldn't Nolok be Bill or one of his minions?
Updated: Perhaps nolok could ultimately be defeated by manoeuvring him into Redmond and getting “embraced, extended and extinguished” by Bill. :)
No. Similar reasons as in Rejected ideas#No Beastie.
I personally have nothing against Bill Gates and Microsoft. In fact, I quite like Microsoft's products. --Gyroknight
Greek fonts
You should add these greek letters to the game. How you can add Greek letters to the game? There are no greek letters in the game. They have a F33 so they are accessible. So they have a Ransom font that has to be accessible in DOSBox. Letters not changed: 1, 4, 6, 8, 9, !, @, #, $, %, ^, &, *, (, ), ~, `, etc. were having greatest. Letters changed: 0, 2, 3, 5, 7. A-Z, a-z. No-break space was filled in with JD. Capital R is vertical, 0, 2, 3, 5, 7 were made from different fonts. A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P, Q, S, T, U, V, W, X, Y, Z, a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i, j, k, l, m, n, o, p, q, r, s, t, u, v, w, x, y, z, were captured from different fonts. Yeah, you don't speak albanian, but you speak korean. The letter you should be added will be: Ë. It's defined as U+00CB.--Sixtyfour 10:36, 16 January 2009 (UTC)
What are you talking about? You sound like that guy who was spamming the fansite recently. And no, I don't speak Korean. --Superdev 18:48, 16 January 2009 (UTC)

__TOC__
What?
The main idea of this concept is to improve supertux with multiplayer like “New Super Mario Bros. Wii” on the Wii or something alike. For now idea limits to two players: Tux and Penny. Both players are playing inside one world in single-screen mode.
To make game interesting to play in pair, i introduced new type of monsters (or new ability to all monsters) - carry bonus (see Bonuses) and split ability to “fire” to two different types of attack (see Players).
Oh, of course, main points of concept i wanted to achieve:
- Both players should be approximately equal in playing difficulty.
Firstly, to make game interesting to all. If you will want to replay level with Penny after finishing level with Tux and vice-versa - then this point is done well. If there will be lots of holy wars over who is most difficult - then this point done well. If not - we have to change some details in concept or fix the balance.
- Players are designed to help each other.
This makes game more addictive (as i think). You don't only play, you also help your friend and he helps you. If we don't follow this - what for we are creating multiplayer at all?!
Players
Both players have same abilities as original tux with following differences:
| Property | Penny | Tux |
|---|---|---|
| Fires with ... | Ice (iceball) | Fire (fireball) |
| Bonus for increase power of bullets. | Ice bonus - you can get it from enemy. Increases enemy freezing time. Every type of enemy has it's freezing-coefficient (float-point number) describing how strong will feel this hit. For example 0 means “completely immune to cold”, 1 means “sensitive to cold”, 1.5 means “extra-sensitive to cold” and so on. | Fire bonus - you can get it from enemy. Enemy has floating-point life and shots has floating-point damage. Bonus will increase damage of shot. |
| When bullet reaches enemy, then... | Enemy freezes for some seconds. Time depends on “coldness of ice” which may be increased with appropriate bonus (ice bonus). While enemy is frozen, both tux and beastie can stuck it by jumping on it. Enemy dies. If enemy contains bonus, bonus is dropped nearby. Bonus can be picked up by Tux or Beastie. | Enemy gets hit. If number of hits is enough to kill him, enemy dies. Number of necessary hits depends on “hotness of fire” (may be improved by fire bonus). You can't get bonus from enemy if you kill him. |
| What will be in single player? (or how this helps to achieve point 2) | Okay, you can get all bonuses from monsters. But there are enemies without bonuses. Killing them is expensive: freeze and be fast to stomp him. Tux will be useful in that situation. Play together with Tux. | Okay, you can kill any enemy. But you will not get fire bonuses from enemies. So killing enemies will be expensive: you need to fire a lot to kill big enemy (i.e. without fire bonus you don't have enough “fire hotness”). Play together with Penny, to get bonuses. |
Bonuses
The first thing about bonuses - they may be placed inside enemies. Bonuses in blocks are still exist. Such an enemy may be (or should be always?) marked with some symbol, describing type of bonus, or describing random bonus.
The only way to extract bonus from enemy is to freeze enemy (Tux can do that) and then stuck it by jumping on it (both players can do).
There is a list of new bonuses (of course may be more than two, but if you add some - keep your eye on the balance.):
| Bonus | Applies to | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Ice Bonus | Penny (multiplayer)/Both (singleplayer) | Increases freezing time for Penny's ice bullet. |
| Fire Bonus | Tux (multiplayer)/Both (singleplayer) | Increases power for Tux's ice bullet. |
In single player there will be two types of flowers (from classical supertux) - ice flower and fire flower. As you can see, Tux can become “Pennyish” by gathering ice flower and then get bonuses from monsters. Or Penny can become “Tuxy” by gathering fire flower.
Notes: “Pennyish” Tux cannot do ice-attack, so he kills enemies and improves fire from blocks. “Tuxy” Penny cannot do fire-attack, so she freezes enemies and have to stuck them in order to kill and optionally gather bonus.
Problems or what is to be done next
All enemy lives, powers of bullets, and freezing times should be balanced to make both players close (or better - equal) in play difficulty. Maybe these values should be configurable in something like Options->Difficulty Settings menu. For now I just can assume some sane values, but i haven't any ready-to-work balancing map.
Of course, we should paint sprites for Penny, bonuses, monster-has-bonus marks, different bullets...

Rejected User Ideas
Vector (SVG) Graphics
Some bits from the mailing list discussion:
- SVG only knows about plain lines, filled polygons and a handfull of fill-patterns, it doesn't know anything about smooth brushes or smudge lines, but without them you will never get away from this vectorish look.
- for artists, SVG tools are also immature, especially Linux ones.
- If you want to think of a good way to slow down our development cycle, making a transition to SVG is a good way of accomplishing that :P Not only that, but I've recently been working quite a bit with SVG for a project I got hired in. It takes a hell of a lot longer than making sprites does, and on top of that, the hand drawn feel of the game will be completely lost.
Also note that you can scale up supertux with the -g WIDTHxHEIGHT switch!
Choose Audio output
In options menu let player choose a sound output like OSS, aRts and so on.
It isn't a good idea for SuperTux to be playing with this. If you need to change sound drivers, use the SDL environments variables: sdldoc.csn.ul.ie/sdlenvvars.php.
The right place to change those settings would probally in a launcher application that starts before SuperTux itself and allows setting of sound driver, video resolution and other stuff, its a very common thing in Windows and might be a good idea under Linux as well, especially since those SDL environment variables are not exactly easy to find. -- Grumbel 07:47, 1 Aug 2006 (BST)
Nazi Gnome
- There should be in the game a Gnome dressed as a Nazi.
- The gnome should be fast, always jumping around , chase tux and not just be part of the scenario.
Jawohl! Very gut idea. Make sure to add enough swastikas so ve can also get de “Banned in Germany” rating to boost de sales.
Yep, I don't see how this could possibly fit into the game theme.
Please no Hilter allusions. The badguys are not that bad. Same goes for Stalin, Bush or Mao. Don't even think about Saddam.
I agree, bad idea.
I agree,too no way!
good joke! no way!

Unimplemented
Ten ideas
- Flying Mr. Iceblock like the flying Koopa. When you hit it, it becomes a normal iceblock. Also should come with a edit path ability! 2. Rotatable platforms! Like moving platforms, except the can rotate. 3. Better iceflower. No offense, but the iceflower is pretty useless. I think they should be like the ones in NSM Wii where they are frozen in a iceblock and are portable and slidable. 4. Underwater fish. They should be like cheap-cheaps and swim around. They could be some sort of jungle fish for world 2. 5. Some sort of vehicle/riding system. Like Yoshi in NSM Wii, maybe some mascot for a different program/company, like GIMP in his STK car. 6. More tiles. I like the tiles we already have, but I think that there should be more. 7. Swimming ability. There was some talk about this before, but I really think you should put it to action if you haven't done so already. 8. (Supertux Editor) Easier compilable SVN. I have no I idea how to compile that thing. Help! It wouldn't hurt to provide a patch. 9. More Music. I like the music, but I think there is room for more arctic and fortress music. I think we're good on forest music though. 10. Last but not least, Animations. I know making a game like this itself is super hard, but could you please add some animations? It would be utterly amazing if you could add stuff like that to the already fun gameplay.
Hope I gave non-forceful inspiration! P.S. There should be a supertux forum! I recommend Proboards.com because its free and awesome. Thanks!
More Level Ideas
Here are some more ideas for some levels:
Volcano in the background
What's about a level in a world, where you can see a volcano in the background? And not just seeing it, after a few steps the volcano becomes active and throws up brocks into the level, which may hit you.
Avalanche
What's about a snow level where an avalanche is chasing you, or where regulary come some big snowballs and you have to wait on a high platform?
This is how autoscrolling levels shall work in the future, see 475. --octo 08:03, 28 February 2010 (UTC)
Light in the dark
A level which is (quite) dark, where you can't see something. Almost. Tux has got something like a torch and you can see a little bit around Tux.
--Asmodeus 19:57, 18 February 2010 (UTC)
I liked Aquaria's implementation of light and dark, when you get the light form, you have both a light cone in the direction you're looking and a circle of light around you. Maybe in SuperTux, he could be wearing a miner's helmet which points forward and/or be carrying a lantern which makes the circle of light around him. Cooljeanius 22:06, 2 April 2011 (UTC)
User_Manual#Magic_Blocks_and_Lanterns_.28SuperTux_0.3_only.29, Lighting
You can play some of these levels in my addon, Yeti's Revenge
--niso 17:12, 21 April 2012 (UTC)
Outfits
I think that Tux should be able to change his look and wear outfits, like color changes, masks, and whatever... just for fun, so that Tux suits your look. There should be costumes for Tux, Penny, and Both. You should be able to buy them with coins. I'm gonna put this idea in Ultra-Tux as well, by the way. -Ultra-Tux
Hey! I like that Idea! It would really work. Because if you were a girl you would probably rather Supertux to wear a fairy dress (LOL) So it would be able to blend in well with my 'shop & merchant!' down below. It could be a costume and powerup shop. By CrazyPenguin
Good idea! UltraTux 21:00, 16 August 2009 (UTC)
Some Of My Enemies
My enemies will be here if I ever think of them:
Fake Box Enemy
The Fake Box looks exactly like an ordinary box from a far distance.But if you come closer to the fake box it will either open its eyes and attack you or it will still open its eyes and a random enemy appears above the box. By DryTuxxy. This is the fake box active:
--There is already support for a badguy powerup box. brmbrmcar--
My Enemy Ideas!
Drippin's and Flamin's
Drippin':
- This enemy is invincible
- When he gets hit by a fireball he grows smaller
- if hit by a iceball he grows!
- Follows you around
Flamin':
- This enemy is also invincible
- This also follows you
(Opposite of Drippin') Drippin' Preview:
Other Playable Characters (Konqui)
It would be cool if you could play other characters than Tux like Konqui the KDE Dragon. If possible he could jump higher than Tux but run slower. In the story Konqui could be Tux friend who helps him to find Penny.
Ok sorry havent read that.
I agree that Penny should be the only other playable character. However, Super Tux Smash would allow stuff like that.
Nolok's Flag
What about a flag Nolok could have in his castle? Here is an example:
Vehicles
Tux should be able to board vehicles. The vehicle could withstand 3 hits from a badguy, and then explode. If tux was firetux, he could then throw fireballs from the vehicle. There would be 3 vehicle types: Land Vehicles (3 hits to explode), Watercraft (2 Hits to explode) and Aircraft (1 hit to explode). Vehicles could be:
- iceball
- Tuxmobile (A Snowmobile with tux painted on it)
- Jeep
- TuxBike (A Harley Davidson type bike, wheelies possible)
- Helicopter (Three types: Normal helicopter, Water Chopper (Can land on water), and Tux Chopper (Can fire at enemies)
- Jetski
- Airplane (Two types: Tux Plane, which has a picture of Tux on it and can drop fireballs when Firetux, and Waterplane, which can land on water)
+1 - hell f***ing yeah 195.92.67.74
+1 three airplanes!!?!!?!
Now that's getting AWESOME!! [[User#124.183.155.78|124.183.155.78,
personally I think that this would not be keeping with the supertux theme.
Puzzles
Should we consider having some puzzles in the game? An example would be opening a gate of some sort, or doing something that reqires some sort of puzzle. An example would be tux having to find some sort of Hiroglyphs to open a door at the end of a level.
Online mode
How about instead of just a project for a multiplayer mode, a mass multiplayer mode. Of course, someone would probably have to set up a good server for this. You could differentiate your Tux from everyone else's tux through ties, hats, and body colors. Boxes and enemies could reappear after a certain amount of time. You could trade your coins for something different from a one up. You could have firetux duels with other people, or maybe throw snowballs at each other. Maybe kill other tuxes by jumping to hit bricks that they're standing on.
i wanna help!!!!
Different power-ups
-ideas
- pongo stick (jumping)
- no slip boots
- snow ball instead of fireball
- skiis -(invincible)
Ability to have different power-ups and weapons would make the game more fun. For example, having a lot of power-ups and weapons would make some players want to try out all the moves there are. Making the power-ups so that tux can only have one at a time would make the game more interesting. (Possibly have offense and defensive powerups - no slip ice boots)
Getting chased by an animal
Being chased by an animal (like a bear in a forest) would be great fun. He could ride down a mountain in an iceball.
More control over moving platforms
Ability to move platforms without a fixed path. Something like: platform.move(x,y,speed) Maybe platforms could detect wether Tux is standing on them or not. For example, you could make a platform that only moves when Tux is standing on top of it. And it could even change directions each time Tux jumps (yes, I know those kind of platforms were in Super Mario 3).
How about a platform like the one in level 7-2 of New Super Mario Bros for the DS? Cooljeanius 20:53, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
How about describing the desired feature? That way even more people would know wtf you were talking about without buying a console first.
An platform that moves right when supertux stand on it, when he jumps and land on the platform the platform switch and move up, by redoing it moves left etc.. Btw, just an platform that moves right when supertux stand at the right side of it and to the left if he stands on the left side would be cool..
Great idea! This could be very useful. Perhaps an optional turtle-like scripting interface would be good, on
the other hand it could be overkill.
Improve the handling of Tux
Please tweak the handling of Tux to make more precise movements possible. In version 0.3.0 at least, Tux gets accelerated forwards too fast, so it can be difficult to jump precisely. So reduce the *initial* accleeration, but of course, not the maximum. In other words, holding a direction should expotentially increase acceleration up to the normal level, starting off very slow, but then speeding up. This process would take maybe something like 1.5 seconds or something (test different settings and use the one that gives the best feeling of being in control). Basically make Tux handle more like Mario. ;P
- Yeah, the current method is lazy anyway, even an amateur programmer can do that. (x+=[speed], x-=[speed])
Feel free to send a patch.
- Give him some rubber boots. When he jumps and lands again, he is just slipping such a long way. I don't believe that SuperTux just cannot land. It's SUPERtux. ;-) Especially in the Forest he is still sliding which is kinda weird. When it is raining or in the water and on ice this property makes sense but underground and on grass rather not.
More Tux Moves
Perhaps Tux could be able to pick up a powerup that would let him duck, then press jump and he spins in a ball, destroying enemies just like Sonic the Hedgehog. Maybe a Glider that would let tux slowly glide in a line. I would love to see Super Tux become a Mario/Sonic fusion. Good idea, but I think he should start somersaulting and gradually turn into a snowball. I'm going to be working on my own version of Super Tux I think tux should be able to slide on his stomach like in Planet Penguin Racer (perhaps doing this instead of ducking, and being user-toggled). Also I think Tux should be able to swim in water, as penguins do swim in water. I don't think he should necessarily not be able to fall of the screen, but he shouldn't die right away. It would be cool if you could swim in lava with a star or a special hat, too. One other thing that might be interesting: Wall Jumping.
- Unfortunately, this is very unrealistic. Sonic is a hedgehog, which has a spiked back. Tux is a penguin, which doesn't.
- yes, but what if with iceflower he can do it to kill bombs and forest badguys, and with fireflower he can do it to ice guys?
- and the belly thing has been submited before and the developers semmed to like it for milestone 3, if i remember right... (see sliding down below)
- how about, if tux is running or on a slope, he slides, otherwise he ducks.
- I think Tux should slide on his belly, real penguins love doing it.
Central Storyline
I believe the game really needs a storyline that makes the game not just about the arcade, but involves a greater plot. There should be a cutscene for just about every level and specific objectives (like you need to find a certain key or something before completing the level) Almost every level should have a cutscene that further adds to the plot. I also like the NPC idea because that can also drive the the plot. An idea for a storyline is detailing how Tux and Penny met and maybe add other characters that touch Tux's life (family, old flames, etc.)
An extro - I imagine like this...
I think an idea for later versions was if there was the possibility of doing some adventures with Penny, e.g. exploring some parts of the world. But it's not necessary - only a funny feature.
We're thinking about telling parts of the story from Penny's point of view. --Wansti
Penny is captured by Nolok and locked into cage in his castle so she cant move, so therefor you cant tell view story from her PoV because she cant do anything because shes imprisoned! -- smallfoot
Well, the first part of the story would be Penny escaping. The idea is that she would escape from the cage and you would play her escape. However, Tux wouldn't know about the escape and would continue on his adventures. You can take it to anywhere from there - Sik0fewl 04:18, 22 Mar 2006 (CET)
I suggest: Tux enters some room in the Dark Forest Keep, sees Penny locked in the cage, comes closer, unlocks it, but suddenly faces Nolok, which uses some magic/etc. to prevent Tux from attacking him, then offers Tux the choice: either free penny and be locked in a cage, or be freed and let penny hang on in cage. Tux gives freedom to penny, and Nolok takes him to World 3. Then you play from Penny's PoV. How is it?
Sounds like Nolok is evil and stupid. HE IS!!!!
To me, playing Penny sounds like a good idea, yes, and it will be in M3. But I agree with whoever made the last comment. Perhaps, though, when Tux reaches the castle the first level is Nolok, but you need two people to defeat him, so you have to play Penny as she escapes from the cage and makes her way through the castle to help Tux defeat Nolok. This would only work for the last world, though. - User#poison Ivy 5:12 25 feb 2008
Heres another Idea, based on the previous one:
Tux sees Penny in a cage, there is a rope attached to the cage and Nolok holding the other end of the rope. Nolok says he will free Penny. Tux is confused and wonders if Nolok is up to something and turns to the camera and asks you if you think he should ask Nolok to free Penny, if you say no, the game continues as normal if you say yes Nolok pulls a rope and, because there is a pulley system on the rope, the cage raises, Tux runs to meet Penny, BIG MISTAKE! A speech bubble appears at Noloks mouth: “whoops!” “LOOK OUT!” yells Penny jumping away, the cage falls and traps Tux. As a side affect of now having to play Penny, you should get ice flowers instead of fire flowers!
- I've said the thing about Penny with the ice flowers before. --Julius_Freezer 22:44, 2 July 2009 (UTC)
I have another idea. About at the 1/2 point of the game, you track Nolok down. Boss battle! As Nolok dies (or whatever), a shade floats out of him and solidifies. The shade is in the general shape of a penguin, but is all black. Not even the eyes are visible. If you have lighting effects going by that time, the “Shadow Penguin” literally darkens any light sources he's near, more and more as the game goes on. The Shadow Penguin escapes. At the very end of the game, now you've tracked the Shadow Penguin down, and you've tracked him to some sort of landscape far removed from the world we know. All backgrounds are black, and the world is sort of a cyber, glowing green (or blue) on black, final showdown kind of thing. You finally find the Shadow Penguin, you fight. The Shadow Penguin has a strong shield, then once that's broken down, the fun REALLY begins. The Shadow Penguin is invulnerable unless you jump on him 3 times... then you can damage him. Once he is defeated... LIGHT! The penguin's “aura”, that was causing darkness to take over, vanishes, the blackness (and glowing green, or blue, or whatever) falls away, blue sky and the world we know reasserts itself, and you are revealed to be back in Antarctica, where you started! Tux embracing Penny, happy ending cutscenes, etc. the end.
- I think that's a bad idea. --Julius_Freezer 22:44, 2 July 2009 (UTC)
I really don't want special level objectives, and a cutscene per level would get kind of annoying. Level objectives would complicate things,as would multiple cut scenes, but having one or two would be nice.
Swimming
Tux really needs to swim. There should be underwater levels, and ways to go underwater. An air limit would be good, as well as a fast swimming power up. Fireflower should not be usable underwater and you should be immune to fireballs.
He's a penguin after all.
Scuba Gear?
Give Tux a scuba tank for the inflated+Flying mode? He flies until out of breath, then falls. Once on ground, he can take another puff. The physics wouldn't work in the real world, but it should be passable in a game, eh? When he gets hit, drop the tank off the bottom of the screen much like a MrSnowball hit with a fireball?
Penguins are built to fish, they can stay underwater without needing air for a long, long while. So any air limit
should be vary long one. Good idea!
Boxing gloves
Boxing gloves might be found as temporary powerups, permanent powerups like the flowers or might be bought at the shops. Boxeur Tux can smash crates, open bonus blocks and defeat most enemies by punching.
Good idea! Monstertux
Running
Tux should have a better running anamation, his legs should move faster, and perhaps he should flap his wings. Perhaps if he reaches full run he could fly like everyone has been wanting.
Sliding
Tux should be able to slide down non-horizontal tiles. When doing this, he should be invincible to badguys.
Darker background
(An idea from Stephen2985, taken from lists.berlios.de/pipermail/supertux-devel/2005-August/000570.html the Supertux-devel archives])
Have the game engine display background as 75% brightness, making some levels easier to play, and making cave background easier to see. Although this would cause conflicts with some other level designs, it would benefit gameplay in the future. The background (the 3rd level that doesn't affect gameplay) would be darker than the playable portion. (like in www.gamespot.com/gba/action/yoshisislandsuperma3/screens.html?page=59 Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3]) At least make a tileset of a darker color reserved for this reason. Otherwise it might be hard to figure out what is background and what is an obstacle.
An even better idea - Make it adjustable. Make the player able to adjust the brightness of the background, or every tileset, of blocks and such. Transparency would be a great bonus too. Although one of the suggested changes for milestone two is making the foreground transparent where Tux is, I think this would take some potential level gameplay possibilities away. Transparency around Tux, if implemented, should probably be adjustable. Hopefully in a 'layer' section of preferences.
The transparency and lightmap of a level is a part of level design and therefore really shouldn't be messed with by “normal” players. Changing either of those things would potentially have drastic impact on the playability of a level, either making it easier or harder than originally intended, as well as possibly lose certain atmosphere aspects e.g. bright snowiness, deep dark forest, foreboding castle, etc. Tuxdev 03:41, 22 Aug 2006 (BST)
Eh... you may have misinterpreted me. I was referring to the possibility of adjustment of tileset color or brightness or opacity by level devs for each specific .stl, not by players. It's something that could make for some nifty levels, or at least more aesthetically appealing ones (depending on how it's used.)--teal 22:23, 22 Aug 2006 (BST)
Okay, s/player/level designer. I think that both of these things have been implemented in SVN, but still needs tuning. --Tuxdev 22:43, 22 Aug 2006 (BST)
Background Tileset
after reading grumbel's rant a tileset for forest parallax background is missing. Standard forest tiles are too big.
Warp Pipes
Warp pipes should be able to be stood on, but by pressing down on the arrow pad, Tux could go down them. This could connect underwater and cave levels, and should work somewhat like the door, which already works. They could be used as secret areas, and would add a lot of depth to the gameplay.
This effect can already be accomplished by using a script over the top of the pipe. The script can use spawn points to respawn Tux inside the secret area, etc. (NathanKP) 8/30/2007
There is only one problem. The Game must have some thin, invisible tiles to make the pipe's edges solid. I hope you know what i mean.
And with the scriptet way, it looks kinda ugly >.< He should move down, and then move to destination and then come out of an other pipe..
Badguy Improvements
You should be able to pick up the beetle baddy and hit it from the side. The fish needs to be able to jump and swim, and should work even if there is no water in the interactive layer, and is just in the foreground. The badguys should stop killing each other.
- you could\should\SHOULD make the creator of the level have the ability to turn badguys killing badguys on and off.
So sometimes a badguy behaves one way and sometimes it does something else? Stuff that looks the same should behave the same way. Always. Maybe except Mr. Schroedinger's cat.
I used heavily scripted pipes in my level. It's okay. Just you can see his legs sticking out. Monstertux
Some more badguys
Here're three new suggestions for badguys in the forest world:
Biella
- Quick, flying creature, continuously following Tux.
- Could shoot stingers.
it may work better as a boss. -FG42
Mr Log
(I designed Mr Log before I read about Walking totem. Looks like I'm not the first one who gave some thought to stackable logs...)
- Slow creature without any special abilities.
- Maybe “stackable”, similar to the cactuses in SMW: Up to four “Mr Log” could be combined to serve as a high barrier, only destroyable from above (or with FireTux).
Hiya. Mr Log would work perfectly as a non-attacking creature in my opinion, that either stands still or moves, and that hurt if you walk into but you can stand upon. If you ever played (the original) Rayman you might know what I mean. --Quispiam 07:31, 13 April 2010 (UTC)
Limpy
- Another slow creature, which is able to adhere to any surface. When reaching the end of a platform, it doesn't fall down, but continues to crawl downwards, upwards, or even underneath.
These badguys could fit in somewhere else.
Mr Missile
Once he “sees” Tux, Mr Missile starts shadowing him. So if Tux stops he doesn’t stop until he reaches the place Tux stopped at. It is the same with other actions. Mr Missile is as fast as Tux. He is killed by invincibility and Supertux’s fire
- Sounds a little too much like Mr. Rocket... --Julius_Freezer 23:58, 2 July 2009 (UTC)
Rolling Snowball
Rolling snowball looks like bouncing snowball except he rolls along the ground (obviously) when he “sees” Tux he gives a little signal and starts rolling as fast as skidding Mr Iceblock. Tux should be able to ride him. If he stands on him he “zooms”, taking Tux with him. He dies after 5 crashes on “zoom” mode or 1 if Tux is riding him. Invincibility and Supertux’s fire are the only other things that kill him.
There could be a rolling spiky that Tux could not ride.
Mr Airtank
- looks like a scuba tank with eyes and feet
- when Tux gets near he puffs out gas which harms Tux
- when killed, flashes (like MrBomb) and explodes (also like MrBomb)
Super Snowball
- looks like a giant Mr Snowball
- can get bonuses like becoming Firetux
- if Tux jumps on him he shrinks to Mr Snowball
This badguy could go anywhere.
Mr Block
- looks like shoes with eyes on top
- “gets” blocks somehow and uses them as a body
- when killed only the eyes and feet die, leaving a block
- he could make blocks
- he could get them by pulling out of ground
- he could take them when he bumps into a wall
Mr Jump
- behaviour like the normal snowball
- But: You can jump on it like on a trampoline.
Wing Snowball
- flies straight and not very fast
- If Tux jumps on it, the wings of the snowball will fall down. Then he becomes a Bouncing Snowball.
Angry Snowball
- runs very fast (because he's so angry)
- If Tux jumps on it, Angry Snowball will be eliminated.
- If Tux jumps over him, Angry Snowball turns, making him skid,
Mr Push-away
Electric Eel
So kind of like the level “Shocking,” except the electrification of the water is triggered by a specific enemy rather than occurring for the whole level? Cooljeanius 22:10, 2 April 2011 (UTC)
Here is a badguy which could fit into the dark-forest scheme:
The Evil Tree
At first, this looks and behaves like a normal background tree, so tux can walk “through” it. (Especially mean when having the same tree often as normal background) When tux passes a special point near the tree (surprise will be much more intense if this point is behind that tree), it becomes alive and hunts tux.
It maybe would be a good idea to make the tree a little slow as it were strange to have it running around. That could be compensated by making it a bit harder to kill. (I also have the graphic in svg available where it should be easy editable and resizeable.) --Henning 08:46, 27 Sep 2006 (BST)
Leopard Seals
Just another badguy. See wikipedia article about this: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leopard_Seal They can grab penguins under water, they can't breath and they die.
- That's one that I've wanted since M1.
Badguys from
love these ideas. --DJ WingsFreesyle\ here 18:42, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
Some Badguys for Icyisland
Flattop/Flatbottom Iceberg
Flattop Iceberg looks like an upside-down icy cone with eyes that follow Tux and lives only in water. When jumped on, speeds off at Mr.-Iceblock speed with Tux on top; at collision, Tux flies off and Iceberg crumbles.
Flatbottom Iceberg is a flipped Flattop Iceberg, so it can't be “ridden”. Both kinds of Iceberg can be killed by fire shot and their points kill Tux.
Some Forest World Badguys
''' '' Aboveground Badguys '' '''
WalkingRock
It looks like an ordinary rock, but when Tux gets within range (5 spaces away), it grows eyes and legs and starts walking. When Tux jumps on it, its legs vanish and its eyes close. Tux can then pick it up. If Tux lets go, or jumps on it again, it speeds off like a Mr. Iceblock. This badguy can't be killed.
- I don't think it should speed off, since it is a rock, not a block of ice and would have a good deal more friction. I do think it would be neat if a few seconds of it coming to a stop it revived and starts to chase Tux again if he is still nearby.
Chameleon
This badguy is 4 spaces long. It lies motionless, and when Tux is in its sightline (10 spaces long, 1 space high), it opens its eyes, waits one second, and shoots out its tongue. If it misses, it waits another second and shoots out its tongue again. When Tux is hit by the tongue, he gets pulled into the chameleon's now open mouth and gets crushed. If Tux jumps on it, it turns into a smaller, harmless chameleon which crawls around a bit and then disappears. If Tux shoots it, it shrinks; with the second shot, it dies.
Sasquatch 
The Sasquatch would be like the Yeti, except in the forest. Perhaps he could be the forest boss, not the ghost tree (or the ghost tree could be the ghost forest boss, and the Sasquatch be the normal forest boss). --Julius_Freezer 23:58, 2 July 2009 (UTC)
Tick The tick would hide behind plants and stuff, or in the grass. He attaches himself to Tux, hangs on for a while, and becomes full and drops off, hurting Tux. Tux can then kill it. The tick may be killed by Tux becoming invincible, or when Tux gets hurt by spiky plants, electricity, or lava. --Julius_Freezer 23:58, 2 July 2009 (UTC)
''' Water Badguys '''
Swimming Fish
The Swimming Fish is like a fish turned on its side. It swims just below the surface of water and dives at Tux like a Zeekling. It can be killed by jumping on it and by fire shot.
- I've thought of this several times. I think that it will one day be implemented. --Julius_Freezer 23:58, 2 July 2009 (UTC)
Jellyfish
The Jellyfish is hard to beat because it moves randomly in water. The trailing tentacles (2 spaces long) can kill Tux. It can be killed the same way as a Swimming Fish.
Shark Tux can only see the shark's fin. When he's at the surface of the water, the fin will poke out, and the shark will come closer to Tux. It can be forced to submerge by fireballs, and killed by buttjumping or invulnerability. --Julius_Freezer 23:58, 2 July 2009 (UTC)
''' Underground Badguys '''
Earthworm
Earthworms slither vertically and horizontally. They are 1 space thick, and therefore would be best in 1- or 2-space-high tunnels. They push Tux back; or, in 2-space-high horizontal tunnels, Tux can ride them. They only kill when they squash Tux against a wall, floor, or ceiling. They cannot be killed.
Killer Earthworm
Killer Earthworms move like a Limpy. They look like an Earthworm but are smaller with fangs in their mouth. They can be killed only by fire shot and invincibility.
''' Ghost Forest Badguys '''
Mr. Lightning
It looks like a small bolt of lightning with eyes and shoots down from a certain point, trying to hit Tux. It moves twice as fast as a diving Zeekling. It cannot be killed, and it hurts Tux when it hits him, after which it disappears.
Skullymine I actually implemented this on my computer. It is the mr. bomb of the ghost forest; it can be frozen, carried, detonated, etc. However, its explosion patterns will work differently of those of mr. bomb; different ways of killing it will produce different results from the bomb, as it is encased in a skull. --Julius_Freezer 23:58, 2 July 2009 (UTC) (P.S. unfortunately, I seem to have lost track of the skullymine files when switching machines; I hope to find where I stashed them soon, and include an article.)
Mr. Bubble
Mr. Bubble looks like a very fat ghost with legs and eyes. It mostly walks on the ground, but can also float up to 5 spaces above the ground at random times. Upon spotting Tux, it shoots bubbles at him, and Tux has to dodge them. If he doesn't, he gets caught in the bubble, the bubble shrinks to a tiny dot, there is a pop sound, and Tux dies.
Mr.Bubble2
Looks and acts the same as Mr.Bubble,but warps Tux.
Castle Badguys
Walking DartTrap
Looks like a walking SkullyHop, but shoots darts at preset intervals. Can be killed by squishing and fire shot.
Suit of Armor
As high as BigTux, it runs with its sword held in front of it. It can kill Tux, as well as any badguy that can be killed by Tux. When hit with fire shot, it melts and disappears.
Mr windows
Mr windows - normal
Mr windows - shield
Mr windows - squished
*Mr windows sometimes stays and sometimes walks around one place.
- Mr windows is squishable.
- When Tux approaches a distance of two tiles, they will turn the shield and become invincible and stay put. Once again, get into a longer distance than two tiles, it will turn back.
- I can kill him at a distance or it can kill other object.
Yet another Logo. See Rejected_ideas#No_Beastie
Smart eye

 |
 |

freezed Smart eye
*If Tux gets to near a Smart eye, it will haunt him until it hurt. Then Smart eye goes to wanish.
- Smart eye is not squishable.
- Smart eye is a bit faster than Tux.
- His pupil rotates under the direction of movement.
- Smart eye is freezable.
I think it is a bit the same of the the willowisp, no ? --Ypetremann 18:26, 30 January 2011 (UTC)
Willowisp teleporting, but this will kill. --Hume 19:18, 30 January 2011 (UTC)
With script we can kill with it, or for me the right idea is to create a orange willowisp, like the flames that turn ... I see in the wiki that we will not make lot diferent monster or make the gake so dificult, and I think that the monster you descibe will looks like willowisp --Ypetremann 19:00, 1 February 2011 (UTC)
Willowisp is not freezable. --Hume 19:00, 1 February 2011 (UTC)

If someone suggests another form, you can add it to this table. Throwobject can pick up, point and throw it. If you do that, and hit into a badguy, so it dies. Throwobjects are big and small.
(throwobject

(y <y-pos>)
(sprite <sprite fileneme>)
(type <"big" or "small">))
Small throwobject
- If you miss the target and falls to the ground, I can throw it more.
- If you hit, the throwobject is destroyed.
Big throwobject
- Small Tux can not use it (because it can not carry).
- Once it reaches the target or falls to the ground, broken into four small throwobjects the same type.

restart and rewind level
It would be good if in pause can restart the level. Sometimes it happens that we commit a fatal mistake and turn off and re-on level it takes too long and it's very frustrating. It would also be good if holding down the “v” rewind all the action back and Tux would it cost coins, but it was not rewind more than 10 seconds. Action “rewind” could call with script “Rewind (seconds);”.
Extro in IcyIsland
When you solve level “The castle of Nolok” Tux remains in place and nothing happens to him. Therefore I suggest: Tux roots and blooms there.
-->
Think it as a joke but not as an insult. I want to point out on this error, which should be solved. This error should be solved in another way than this.
External badguys definiton files
I thing, it should be possible to define custom badguys without changing the source code. i could be implemented in milestone 3. Writing in the level would look like this:
(badguy
(object "path of object definition file")
(x int x_pos)
(y int y_pos)
(others struct other_parameters)
(sprite UnicodeString sprite_path) ;optional
)
Objects should be located in their own files. They would look like this:
compound supertux-badguy The root tag for whole structure.
- UnicodeString default_sprite The sprite, that the badguy will use, when it won't be defined.
- bool gravity Set on, when the badguy will be affected by the gravity.
- UnicodeString center The center of the badguy. center means the badguy's hitbox center point, border means the point of badguy's hitbox border, that is closest to Tux.
- struct others The properties, that can be changed via the others tag in the badguy calling tag. They are accessible via the “others” variable in scripts.
- compound events A compound of names of scripts, that will be called when...
- UnicodeString on-hit-top ...Tux hits the badguy from top.
- UnicodeString on-hit-side ...Tux hits the badguy from side.
- UnicodeString on-hit-bottom ...Tux hits the badguy from bottom.
- UnicodeString on-reach-edge ...the badguy reaches an edge of platform and the badguy can't fall under the sector, when the badguy falls off the platform.
- UnicodeString on-reach-pit ...the badguy reaches an edge of platform and the badguy will fall under the sector when he falls off the platform.
- UnicodeString on-hit-ground ...the badguy hits a solid ground.
- UnicodeString on-hit-ceiling ...the badguy hits a solid ceiling.
- UnicodeString on-hit-water ...the badguy hits a water tile.
- UnicodeString on-hit-wall ...the badguy hits a solid wall.
- UnicodeString on-hit-hurts ...the badguy hits a hurting tile.
- UnicodeString on-fire ...the badguy hits a fireball.
- UnicodeString on-freeze ...the badguy hits an iceball.
- UnicodeString on-grab ...Tux tries to grab the badguy.
- UnicodeString on-relase ...Tux tries to relase the badguy.
- UnicodeString on-exist The name of script, that will run each 100ms, when the badguy exists.
- compound-array scripts The scripts, that the events call.
- compound script One of the scripts. Note: there will be possible to add scripts, that the events wouldn't use.
- UnicodeString name The script's name, that the events use.
- UnicodeString content The content of the script, that the events call.
- compound script One of the scripts. Note: there will be possible to add scripts, that the events wouldn't use.

- int get_tux_angle() Gets the angle, in which Tux currently is. When is Tux above the badguy, the function will return 0. When Tux is under the badguy, it returns 180.
- mark_as_killed() The number of killed badguys on scoreboard will be incremented.
- despawn() Despawns the badguy.
More badguy ideas
- SpinningSnowball: Just like the original except that it spins and throws off bits of snow at you.
- Dragon: A castle boss that flies around the top of the room, spitting fire.
- SnowBomb: it could be rolled down a hill to explode when it comes in contact with anything, or could be dropped from a Dispenser to explode on contact with the ground.
-updated 4-15-10 by fyretux
SnowBomb is a bit like SkyDive, although SkyDive is for the forest world... TUX/√UT (plz talk 2 me internets | view horrendous deeds) 17:28, 21 June 2010 (UTC)
Some cool ideas
- BouncingGlassball:
Kind of like the BouncingSnowball but it bounces 3 tiles higher and is for the forest world.
- Vinehat:
Just like the Icehat except it fires vines so it works for the forest world.
- SpikeyBoss:
A big version of the stay-on-platform spikey bad-guys(64x64). When he reaches an edge of the platform, he pauses, soots a ball that blows up on contact, and repeats on the other side. You guys decide how to kill.
- SpikeheadSnbowball:
Exactly like the Snowball, but after a configurable amount of spaces it jumps and lands 5 spaces foreward on it's spike. After a moment, it jumps back up and repeats.
- WaterHeater:
Like Lightning except you can tell when you need to get out of the water because you slowly turn red.
- TileChanger:
Changes everything in the level into SnowTiles(if Snowcone), GrassTiles(if Leaf), and CastleTiles(if Stone).
- FrozenWater/Iced-water:
Just a frozen version of water where Tux skids 6 tiles when turning around after running.
- Lightnincloud: Looks like the normal cloud except gray. Every 7 time measurements, it blasts lightning down at Tux. Every 3rd blast is slower.
- DesertTiles:
Like Grass and Snow tiles, except with only the flat, and sloped parts for Desert.
- QuickSand:
When added, QuickSand would beam Tux to a new sector called ”UNDERGROUND” that gets added when QuickSand was.
- Ape:
An Ape that is stay-on-platform. When big Tux touches it, the Ape would squeeze Tux to hurt him. When smallTux, the Ape would throw Tux.
- OceanTileset:
contains; Ship tiles(big and small) and all water tiles.
- Right/Left-jump-Fish:
A fish that jumps up to 7 tiles right or left.
Comment: “Flying fish?” TUX/√UT 20:11, 17 June 2010 (UTC)
- Shark:
Just a huge version of the original fish made to look like a shark.
- Waterflow:
a foaming right/left edge of the water so you can make it so the water looks like blockade in the river was removed.

New Tile Ideas
New Air Tiles
Have an automatic mode in the editor
Just draw in a tilemap where you want tux walk with a type of tile, where you want a tile apear but not walkable, and after, select a tile style and the editor will create the map with that it was maked. after you can have the ability to draw on ...
If the creator want to create with more than 1 type of tiles, just make 2 tilemap and apply them on one ...
Like the magic brush from supertux editor?
Oh sorry, I don't see it because I doesn't know how it run and that because I haven't any bruxh... But instead of changing 9 block that depending of 25 blocks ( because the blocks around the patern ), that has 33554432 possibility to resolve, just changing the center block that depend of 9 block, it will have just 512 paterns to resolve for a good look.
Have a more complete tileset for each style of tiles
I see that I can't do what I wan't in the editor because there are a lot of tiles that where not implemented Like in the image below
( the tile in the center don't corespond with the tile on the left )
Here I make a lot of snow tiles that were not created. With it and with the originals you can make up to 512 paterns that 3x3 sized

Some badguys and objects
These are some rough sketches of badguy and object behaviors. They don't have to be snowballs, either.
- Climbing snowball: Snowball that can climb up walls and ceilings, not affected by gravity.
- Ninja snowball: Snowball that leaps at Tux if he is in range.
- Rolling snowball: Large snowball that rolls around, destroying other badguys and hurting Tux on contact. Think Indiana Jones...except frozen. Could be a kind of boss level, although we've already got one for Icyisland :/
- FreezeBall: a kickable (but not portable) object that can be used to squish badguys. If the FreezeBall lands in a particular area (let's call it a goal) then a script is activated, possibly opening a door to a secret area...
Tuxnut 00:23, 15 June 2010 (UTC) - updated 17:26, 21 June 2010 (UTC)
The infinite patern
An idea to have the graphic not break. All tilemap that have a name becoming with * where an infinite patern tilemap, it make the graphic to be repeated if that the player see is out of the world For example, I make a very small level to demonstrate how to make a good mario like pipe effect: 
For now we can make this effect by creating a tilemap that have an offset and that the size is over the most large screen size divided by 32.
--Ypetremann 13:00, 23 January 2011 (UTC)
An one idea for Tux
Big Tux can slam the badguys. If Big Tux gets so close to badguy press Action and he can slam it from left to right. like in most beat'em up games. sample of this can be viewed here http://i44.tinypic.com/59zfh1.jpg 89.251.107.53 15:37, 30 October 2011 (UTC)
Hume's ideas
See Planned features
Category:Design Category:For Users
Crystal Cave
Template:template:planned The crystal cave
thumb|right|The concept art of the crystal cave
Story
Tux will go into the mountain to the crystal cave. Tux will go trough miscelaneous lifts and mineshafts and cave rooms still deeper and deeper to the cave. There will be dark, so magic blocks and lanterns won't be rare. Then will Tux enter a big room with Nolok's castle. Tux will only pass trough the castle, because Penny is in the Lavaland castle. After that Tux will defeat a crystal boss and then Tux will take a lift leading on the surface of Lavaland.
Badguys
Some of crystal cave badguys are implemented jet, but there will be also some new badguys. These badguys aren't all, that will be in the crystal cave. There will be also some badguys from other worlds such as Mr.Bomb and haywire.
Crystallo
see crystallo
Cave fish
Just a normal fish, but with another sprite.
Minecart
Tux will be able to ride on it, but it will hurt from sideways. It will be freezable, but not flameable.
Running candle
This badguy will hurt on touch. It will light in a color. It will stop lighting on hit by an iceball and it will light again on hit by a fireball. It will fall down, when it reaches an edge of the platform.
Falling crystal
It will just fall down until a it will reach solid ground and hurt on touch.
Objects
Crystal cave won't use many new badguys only for it, but it will use some new objects only for crystal cave.
Weak stone
Only explosions will be able to break these solid blocks.
TNT
Tux will be able to grab this object. It will start ticking and then explodes, when dropped.
Melon BadGuy
Proposed Badguy: Melon Found In: Tropical Island
Pogonia
IDs: 1569, 1570, 1571, 1572, 1573, 1574
The stem acts as a background and flower is hurting.
Rejected_ideas
A system supplementing the current power-ups, this is basically a way to allow large and powerful effects without letting the player use them all the time. The meter could be increased by collecting coins, killing enemies, or getting points. When the meter is full the player can enter a specific control sequence (this is so the player can still use the power normally when the meter is full) to use a super-powerful attack, which would usually wipe out all the normal enemies onscreen and might have other effects as well (such as opening secret areas in the level).
Rukush
[[Template:Proposed]]
A friendly NPC. Rukush the Crystallo could live in the bonus level of icy island, where it would have a garden of tree saplings, fireflowers, and iceflowers.
Bigfoot
I now propose a forest boss (which I think is better than ghost tree)...Sasquatch:
He would function like the [[Yeti]], except have more of a roar than a gna. As Sasquatches and Yeti are very similar (both mythical creatures of the same family), I think that this would be a fun addition to the forest. Please discuss it on its talk page.
[[Julius_Freezer]]
Water World
A possibility for another world is Water World or something like that.
Tux boards a ship, sails to a level in the middle of the ocean, and starts it by opening a bonus box and get a pirate hat and a pistol. The badguys are fish, seagulls, and pirate seals. Once Tux conquers the ship (in one level or a load of them) he can fight other ships, or stuff like that. It would be a great way to go between islands. Finally, after beating all the islands, he sails to wherever Nolok is.
The idea needs some more work, but feel free to build upon it. (And if the idea is used, I get to make at least one level in it, please?)
Trophical Island
Template:Template:planned Jungle island
Story
Tux will sail form Forest island to Jungle island to get Penny. Then Tux will pass trough some levels to a clearing, where is the Nolok's castle located. Tux will see Penny on the clearing quite far from the castle. She will stand on a platform. However, it won't be penny, but only a wooden dummy and the platform will send tux somewhere deep in the Jungle. Tux will pass about twenty levels to reach the clearing and the Nolok's castle. Then Tux will have to defeat the boss. Tux will arrive in the prison, but there won't be Penny, but only a letter. There will be written: ::Dear Tux, I know, you will rather go to the Lavaland now, because Nolok has token me here, but the Nolok's fifth castle is covered in a crystal cave, that has two entrances. One is the mountain on Jungle island and the other is hidden in Lavaland, so you would never find it. Go to the crystal cave first and caputure the castle. Nolok won't go to the castle. And then use the other crystal cave exit to arrive in Lavaland. ::::-Penny After Tux will read the letter, he will go outside the castle and then into the mountain to the crystal cave.
Badguys
Jungle island is very similar to Forest island, so they can use the same badguys. Jungle island will use some of them more often, than are used in Forest island. There will be also some new badguys only for Jungle island.
Tumbleweed
Its graphics are implemented, but there is no sprite or badguy for them. It rolls along the floor, when Tux is on the left or on the right. When Tux is above or under, it stops rolling. It hurts on touch and it can't be squished. It's flameable and freezable.
Hanging ball
It could be a stone stalactite that fits the forest and jungle theme, but stone stalactite wouldn't break suddenly. It's a ball of dirt and stones hanging on a wine. When Tux walks under it, it would fall down. It hurts on touch. When it's hit by fireball, it falls down and when it's hit by iceball, it will freeze and it doesn't fall, when is Tux under it. It doesn't freeze enemies, like Stalactite.
Swarm of flies
The swarm of flies won't be flameable or freezable. It wouldn't hit on touch immediately, it will last a while. It will fly dirrectly to Tux. When it crashes to a solid wall, it dies.
Jungle ivy
Jungle ivy will behave the same as crystallo, but leaf particles will appear on death.
Mr. slimy
Mr. slimy will be squishable, freezable, but not flameable. When Tux jumps on it, Tux will stick and he will move twice slower for five seconds. However, when it will be frozen first, this effect won't appear.
Root
This root will grow up, when is Tux nearby and it will throw hurting stones to Tux. Root wouldn't hit on touch neither be solid. Only the stones will hurt Tux. Root will be flameable and freezable.
BG, a bit smarter than Poision Ivy
To put badguys eg. on a branch or a ledge i'd like to have a Forest World Bad Guy, about one tile in size, easy to be killed (squished, shot, whatever) but does not jump off his ledge.
Something like Poision Ivy but smart enough not to commit suicide. Maybe a autumn version of the walking leaf. Since it's more careful it might walk a bit slower. --WolfgangB 18:20, 26 Jul 2006 (BST)
Btw, i could just grab the Ivy image and add some red, but maybe there is another BG that matchs the description but looks different. --WolfgangB 18:44, 26 Jul 2006 (BST)
Done. WalkingLeaf --WolfgangB 15:59, 13 Aug 2006 (BST)
Flying Badguy
Today in #supertux there was the idea of some flying badguy that if killed just loses his ability to fly and becomes a walking BG. (Rip out his wings, pop his baloon, pull his goggles, etc.) A airborn BG that just flies left/right or even is stationary could be used to jump on to cross a river or as moving obstacle.
Make it so. --Superdev 20:29, 31 Jul 2006 (BST)
Mini-Bosses
This page is for miscellaneous miniboss ideas. Any world-specific miniboss plans or ideas belong on their respective world pages.
Ideas
Walking Trees
Walking Totems
Snowmen (not Yeti, but smaller, normal looking Snowmen)
- They should take two hits to kill. After the second hit, the snowman loses his head. After that his state changes; he basically only runs around like an idiot for a while. If Tux doesn't kill it in a certain (small) amount of time, he kneels and make a new head from the snow on the floor.
- Basically the same concept, only they can throw their head by themselves. The head could be the standard SnowBall
Giant Spider
It could be on a web that's in the background and walk randomly along it. It tries to drop webs on Tux. If Tux gets trapped, it jumps on him and hurts him. Tux can hurt it by jumping on it when it's at the lowest part of its web.
Giant Rats
Penny
Nolok somehow makes her evil (maybe a trance, or magic, or something) and gets her to fight Tux; this leaves a problem for Tux as he can't hurt Penny. This should be saved for when Tux meets Penny sometime in each world. Tux can kill off the magic by throwing her enough love letters before he gets killed??
or he could just have to stay alive until the trance wears off.
I would not bet on the love letter idea. 166.137.11.53 22:36, 1 May 2012 (UTC)
“Special” Yeti
Here's one big (graphically) miniboss for the ice level. A “special” yeti near an ice bank or something similar... He makes ice-blocks in the ice bank and throw them at Tux. He can only be defeated by Tux throwing back the blocks at him.
GIANT Snowball
One of those walking snowball enimies but BIGGER!
Category:Design
Trophical Island
Template:Proposed
Tropical Island is a proposed world/island that could be the third world of SuperTux. The suggested plotline for this world is as follows:
After defeating the forest Boss, Tux go down to the jails of the forest castle to release Penny. The only person he found there is Fun Pif the Puffin, the young prince of Illusion Island. Pif Told tux that Penny was there, but few day earlier, Nolok went to take some prisoners out, including Penny and the Fun family. Then Together, they decide to go and release the prisoners…
The First stage of this Journey is the tropical Island, altogether they are … Oh Nolok knocked on my door, I'll finish that latter on ;)
New Features
- Fun Pif the Puffin
- Moving coins
- Wood Box/coin exchanger
Deeper Into the Island Background Idea
You used tux paint, didn't you? Very nice! Monstertux
Possible Badguys
- Mr. Palm Tree - Very tall badguy consisting of stacked segments; jumping on top removes the bottom segment. When there's only one segment left, Mr. Palm Tree dies.
- Nutty - A harmless, indestructible badguy; a bit like a walking moving platform. Alternative: an equivalent of Mr. Ice Block.
- Volcano - Stationary boss badguy, spews ashes that can hurt Tux.
- Wild Boar - Basic walking badguy, starts running faster upon seeing Tux. Tux can stun him by kicking him from behind, and can kill him by stomping on him.
- Hungry Parakeet - Zeekling equivalent.
- Melon - Snowball equivalent.
- Mosquito - Flying snowball equivalent.
- Spider - A tarantulas going up and down
- Toad - A Frog seeking Tux
- Tikitchokwe - A badguy wearing a mask that send fireball on Tux
Level concepts
- Welcome to the Tropical Island -- Introduces the player to the new badguys and objects.
- (intermediate levels)
- Penny is freed -- Cutscene of Penny being freed, player regains control of Penny and escapes.
- Up the mountain -- Tux starts to climb the steep rocks on Upatna Mountain.
- The upward trail -- Penny's turn to start climbing.
- (intermediate levels)
- Into the volcano -- Penny reaches the top of Upatna Mountain, but an earthquake makes her fall into the volcano!
- Rescue! -- Tux climbs into the volcano and rescues Penny.
- Escaping the Island -- Tux and Penny escape the Tropical Island and sail home.
- Yo Ho Ho -- Tux and Penny are captured by Captain Snowball and his scurvy scallywags!
- etc.

Race Mode
- A game mode in which the time needed for each level is counted and saved in a per-level high-score list.
- Race Mode needs to be unlocked by beating the whole game first (including Bonus Island). (It could also be activated earlier, but then only for islands that already have been completed; however, I'd prefer the first solution.)
- "Race Mode" appears in the main menu. All levels will be open, showing the current record when Tux walks over them on the world map.
- All reset points are deactivated, so you have to run through the whole level again everytime you die. Therefore, lives are not needed.
- Coins and powerups that are collected on the way might be counted as well, either for themselves or as "bonus seconds" that are subtracted from the overall time.

Special Items are Evil
Special items look nice, allowing funny things to happen, but are still evil and should be avoided for most part. The reason for this is that they make gameplay actually more monotone, not less. This is due to the fact that they are less predictable, making it hard for the level designer to design situations in which the special items will be actually useful instead of just toys. For example I can't design a way-blocking-puzzle for a fireflower, because the player might already have used up all fireflowers in the level or I can't design a challenging level if the player might still have a special item from a previous one rendering the level completely challenge-free.
This doesn't mean that there won't be special-items, but they should be limited to stuff that respawns and is only usable for a fixed section in the level, so that the level designer can much more specifically use them and build puzzles and levels around them, without having to worry if the player will have the item at all.
SuperTux Extra
SuperTux extra is a modification of SuperTux 0.1.3 by Narre that has a full story. There are total 6 worlds:
Narreland
IcyIsland
ForestIsland
Lavaland
Giant chewinggum
Vomitland
The first release is in English ([http://www.uloz.to/xtoiK8Xu/stex-exe Download here]) and the secound release is in Czech ([http://www.uloz.to/xqFHX6Nf/install-super-tux-extra-2-exe Download here]). The third release was planned, but the SuperTux development has accelerated. You can find more downloads and screenshots at [http://www.budevydano.estranky.cz SuperTux extra website].
Template:delete Some User ideas about a completely different game.
Super Tux Smash
Super Tux Smash would be a mod of the Super Tux Engine for Multiplayer, loosely based on Super Smash Brothers Melee but with some completely different gameplay.
Features needed in the engine
Multiplayer support (having more than one controllable player, eventually maybe network support?)
Colorization of players (so that players could have a red vs blue penguin battle), or a variety of playable characters.
All-way scrolling. (Already in Milestone 2)
Destructible blocks by fireballs. (Already in Milestone 2)
Intro, Winners podium extro.
Unlimited lives.
Mini-viewport (ala Smash Bros) to show where players have gone offscreen
Game Modes
Eventual network play team info included.
Deathmatch - Knock the other player(s) off the platforms. Whoever has the least falls wins when time is up. Free for all.
Coin Collect - Collect as many coins as possible while avoiding/harrasing the other player(s). Whoever has the most coins wins when time is up. <4 teams, multiple players or free for all.
Capture the Flag - Get the flag of the other player(s)/team(s) to your flag. Whoever has the most touches wins when time is up. <4 teams, multiple players.
Zone Control - Touch platforms to “paint” them. Whoever has the most platforms of their color wins when time is up. <4 teams, multiple players.
Soccer - Use a Bouncy Snowball as a soccer ball and have goals at either side of the (closed) level. Still have platforms and powerups. Whoever has the most goals wins when time is up. 2 teams, multiple players
Powerups
Instead of having Question Blocks, have balloons which occasionally float up from the bottom of the screen. Powerups include:
Grow - break thru platforms from side or bottom when grown. Also less vulnerable to jump attack.
Fire flower - instant death (respawn) to opponent when hit, break platforms.
Ice flower - freeze opponent for 5 seconds.
Umbrella - float farther, slower.
Rocket pack - WASD movement for 15 seconds, fireflower ability.
Balloon - some balloons would be empty but allow you to float. All balloons would pop when hitting a platform or player. There might also be tied balloons which don't pop but you have to jump across fast due to jiggling.
Magnet - allows you to grab onto the bottom of platforms and move along them.
Spiky shell - invulnerability for 30 seconds
Characters
Tux
Penny
Other penguins (colorized, EvilPenguin, Albino, Magellenic, Macaroni)
Nolok
Snowball (Bouncing/Walking/Spiky combination)
Walking Flame
MrBomb
MrIceBlock
Polar Bear
Seal
Yeti
Poison Ivy
Spider
MrTree
MrTotem
Zeekling
Ghost
Dillo
Sushi
Skirpy
Beastie (BSD logo)
Platypus (Hexley, Darwin logo)
Other OSS logos, eg Puffy (OpenBSD) and Glenda (Plan9)
Attacks
Peck - run up to opponents to peck them - this can knock them off the platform.
Jump attack - instant death to non-grown opponents.
Spin attack - instant death to all opponents.
Powerups - above.
Specials - per character.
Design Issues
Need vertical, multi platform based levels.
Physics-based platforms (ala Gish) would be nice.
Underwater levels would be nice.
Seesaws and Trampolines could be important.
Could use some enemies like the jumpy spiky, fish etc.
Would be nice to have some new ones like:
Anvils (drop from the sky once in a while, break platforms)
Arrows, Rockets, or Chompers (come from the sides if you get too close to edges)
Rockets could also launch from the bottom once in a while.
For big (scrolling) levels, teleports (w/ directional arrows and random ones) and/or a minimap would be nice.
Bottoms of levels should be water, lava, spikes, or void.

- STORY IDEAS! MY idea is we could have CPU characters (with AI! WOOT!) and have two single-player modes. Classic (a map of a colloseum with every other character in a straight line) and an Adventure mode (like only as big as one supertux world.) The story for adventure is Tux and Penny were on a walk when meanwhile, Nolok is hiding underground. EvilTux knocks on his door and Nolok opens it. EvilTux says he wants to help Nolok destroy Tux. Then EvilTux shows up with Tux and Penny. You can change between Tux and Penny between levels. Anyway, Tux goes through 1 antarctica level. Boss is EvilTux (an easy version). Then EvilTux goes back to Nolok. Nolok puts him in a cloning machine. The next level is Forest level. You fight EvilTux clones at every quarter of the level. Then EvilTux is really destroyed. Meanwhile Nolok puts forest DNA in the Yeti. Next level is Tropical Island. Boss is Sasquatch. Finally, Tux gets back to Antarctica and Nolok appears to fight, but Gown (yes I'm including her for some reason) jumps on Nolok's head (similar to Sonic jumping on Tabuu from smash bros.) Then Nolok zaps Gown. You fight Gown hypnotized. Then Nolok pulls you all into a portal. You fight several bosses.
- Yeti
- Mr. Totem
- Haunted Tree
- Sasquatch (harder)
- EvilTux (harder)
- Warty Hand (giant nolok hand)
- Nolok with wings and magic (FINAL BOSS)
Then the portal spits Tux Penny and Gown out onto the ground. Credits roll.
- IDEA: special moves you can learn at dojos. A_key is arrow key. Advantage defines a little bonus to player “advantaged” in the stage. PoWER is abbreviated for “Pwnage of Weird Enemies Robotechnics”(EvilTux's Helmetron made by PoWER)
LOCATIONS: Icyisland (advantage to Tux), The Forest, Penguinos Island (advantge to Pingu, how to unlock: Destroy Tux statue at Icyisland and jump into secret passage under it), Antarctica Meltdown (unlock all special moves)[ Boss:Fry, a fireball with eyes. Intro boss cutscene: Player jumps onto a half-sunk stone platform. Fry appears. “This place is only for one!” PLAYER:"And this “one” is me!"(puts on ice cap) CONTROLS CHANGE: |1| is to shoot iceball. Phase 1. Flying around Fry is equipped with wand shooting fire and with sphrere-shaped shield. To hurt him, shoot his wand with iceball. Phase 2. Fry loses his stuff and starts to jump. If he lands near player, player gets hurt. Shoot him with iceball. Phase 3. Fry splits to some amount of little fireballs, acting like Fry in Phase 2. Shoot them all with iceballs.] Nolok's Castle (Advantage to Nolok and Eviltux (from supertuxkart))[ Boss:Nolok] Grand Finale (accessible only with Tux)[ Boss: Eviltux]

Actions
Pogo Stick
The Pogo Stick will give Tux the ability jump higher and to break blocks when he jumps on them. This will work simular to the NES game Ducktales and the PC game Commander Keen.
Perhaps this should be just like a star, just a temporal ability. To avoid making the game too easy. It could also be like the boot in Super Mario Bros. 3, which allows the player to jump on usually harmful enemies, but is gone a the end of the level.
Boomerang
Tux should be able to collect and use a boomerang on some levels.
This could maybe hit 3 badguys and then come back to Tux.
And of course not be usable against Flames.
Soap
Tux might be able to eat some soap and thus be able to spit out bubbles, bubbles themselves should be usable as steps to reach higher places and might be able to capture enemies.
This behaviour is similar to the bubbles in Bobble Bobble.
Breathing
I don't know if penguins can breath underwater, but maybe Tux need swim to surface to breath sometimes...
- They can hold their breaths for up to 12 minutes. Good enough?
- It depends on the penguin. Adélie's--like Tux--can hold their breaths for 15 minutes. I seriously doubt he would be underwater for that long. You probably won't be making a level as long as “Moving On,” (an EXTREMELY long--7000+ length, level made by a friend) all the way below the surface of the water. --Julius_Freezer 04:32, 25 June 2009 (UTC)
Rope
Tux will be able to use a rope (in one form or another). The rope should be useful for both swinging around and capturing/disabling enemies.
