Tux

Tux is a penguin mascot that represents the Linux kernel.

Base stats

Tux is intended to appear slightly overweight, and therefore Tux is considered a heavyweight.

Move design

Light attacks

Heavy attacks

Inspired by this video of Tux beating the MSN butterfly in a boxing match, Tux' sideways heavy move should involve him punching with boxing gloves. The look should be similar to King K. Rool's side smash attacks.

Special attacks

It seems most fitting that Tux' up special is a jump upwards, after which he descends quickly and creates a shockwave as he lands. When smashing into the ground, he should land in his iconic sitting position.

Alternative skins

TuxDroid

One skin could be a slightly robotic version of Tux called TuxDroid. The slightly robotized form could be interpreted as glowing CRT-like eyes and a different material applied to Tux's fur.

King T.T.T.

Given how King Dedede is sometimes mistaken for the Linux pinguin, it could be a funny nod to Nintendo's character to dress Tux up in an outfit similar to King Dedede. (minus the hammer)
