List of Friday Night Funkin' Engines:
The base game. Like vanilla ice cream, some people find it bland while, for others, it's their personal favorite. Only version available on Newgrounds (re-uploads of FNF or even mods aren't allowed). The Newgrounds web-only edition (no source code available) includes spritemap animations for cutscenes (the Tricky Mod uses pre-rendered videos), custom keybinds, and note splashes.
One of the original modded engines, developed for the Full Ass Tricky Mod, and later separately maintained. Focused on high-level play, featuring a reworked input system, improved player stats like a results screen hitgraph, and custom keybinds. The most common engine to use in mods (even if it isn't the simplest to mod).
Check out the newest version if you haven't done so lately, there have been a lot of improvements to the chart editor and new views for Stage and Animation debugging, among other things.
Psych Engine is the engine originally developed for the Mind Games mod. It makes several opinionated changes to the original's graphics while focusing on casual play and changes to make for easier modding. It includes animated text boxes, a graphically reworked story menu, note splashes, custom note colors, custom keybindings, built-in achievement support, and more.
Mic'd Up provides a major revamp targeted at players of the base game. It includes three new difficulties for most Story Mode songs, a Modifiers menu which provides gameplay changes, a Marathon mode, a reworked dialogue system, and more.
Forever Engine is one of the newer engines out there. It includes a revamped options menu, note splashes, note skins, and more.
Modding Plus is an engine which includes changes designed to make it easier to add mods to.
Currently in development. Based on Kade Engine, Engima is striving to provide features to help hardcore players improve, casual players have more fun with the game, and creative people develop mods easier. Enigma boasts proper atomic modding support, with a mod menu, and future plans for additional features like HScript support.
FPS Plus is also one of the older engines, developed by Rozebud in parallel with Kade Engine. It boasts improved performance, and includes custom keybinds, a custom chart editor, and an improved animation debugger.
An engine created by MythsList. Includes a reworked dialogue system and more.

- The method used by the Tricky mod involves using
extension-webm(which requires placing the sound in a separate file). - The method used by some other mods involves adding Brightfyre's MP4 Video Support, which requires including the VLC player DLLs and increases the file size of a release by almost 100%.
