anim8or would probably be the only one you need. If you're good with it, you can create your characters there and export renders. You'd have to get some other program for the background and other effects. Mabe Paint Shop Pro?
If you are new to programming, you should try something else. This game would give quite alot of work. 3D is easier...

a simple BMP could give you trouble. I suggest (for example) various BMP's of platforms and a .lvl file which has all the coords for you to place the platforms on the screen.
