It feels like SuperTux was made centered around the snow theme. All the enemies are snow/ice based, instead of being general like Mario so they work in any world. The protagonist is a penguin. The physics are slippery. The logo is snowy. The menu has a rocky snow border. It just feels centered around the snow theme, which is why it's sort of jarring being in a forest world when the entire game before that was just snow and it feels weird to me having a slippery penguin in a forest world. And now we have to re-skin all the enemies because we can't have walking ice-cubes in a forest, which is kind of annoying because in Mario every single enemy acts differently even only a subtle difference, where as here we have some enemies that are just re-skins of others because we don't have general enemies because SuperTux seems to have been created solely with the snow theming in mind. Just a bit of an observation.
