Meat Boy is a flesh- er, Flash game created by Edmund McMillen, Jonathan Mcentee, and Danny Baranowsky on October 10, 2008. Edmund and Danny then partnered with Tommy Refenes and formed Team Meat. Eventually Danny and Edmund's working relationship broke down, and Danny was replaced by the duo Ridiculon. Edmund himself had also left some time during development of Super Meat Boy Forever. Team Meat currently contains Tommy Refenes, Matthias Bossi & Jon Evans (Ridiculon), Kyle Pulver (designer of Offspring Fling! and Depict1), and Temmie Chang (artist of Undertale).Meat Boy is a game about pain. It is a game about understanding pain in its purest, most unadulterated form, forcing you to go into a fit of madness. It's also an affectionate callback to all of the controller destroyingly difficult games of the late eighties and early nineties, and all of the clichés that go along with them, but at least here the levels are (usually) short and the lives (usually) infinite.You play as Meat Boy, a skinless boy, trying to save his girlfriend made of gauze, Bandage Girl, from the clutches of Dr. Fetus, a nefarious fetus being in a jar that may or may not have a PhD. It's not exactly the most original plot ever conceived, but the game's still very imaginative. And painful, as Meat Boy must traverse though worlds filled with buzzsaws, syringes, lava, buzzsaws, salt, homing missiles, and buzzsaws. Did we mention buzzsaws? Cause, yeah, there's a lot of them. We mentioned pain too, right?A map pack was later released on December 8, 2008. A sequel, Super Meat Boy, was released on Xbox Live Arcade and PC in Fall and Winter of 2010, then later ported to the PS4, Playstation Vita and Wii U. A WiiWare port was planned as well, but it was later cancelled as Nintendo's 40 MB limit for WiiWare games was much too small for the developers to work with. The game follows the same story as the flash game, where your goal is to save the girl, except there are a lot more levels including warp zones and obstacles to face, more polished gameplay, and more of a story going on. The game reached major popularity and critical acclaim among gamers, receiving strong sales and even winning some awards.A third game for PC and Nintendo Switch, Super Meat Boy Forever, was released on December 23, 2020, where instead of playing as Meat Boy trying to save Bandage Girl, you instead play as either Meat Boy or Bandage Girl trying to save their baby daughter Nugget who has been kidnapped by Dr. Fetus, who also makes a return as the Big Bad. The sequel is different from its predecessor, as the gameplay now has an autorun mechanic similar to BIT.TRIP and Canabalt, but giving you the ability to turn around by walljumping. The sequel also introduces new enemies, hazards, and gameplay mechanics such as punching and dashing. The animation is also vastly different, dropping the Stylistic Suck of the original games and going for a more cartoonish, fluid style of animation. A Tabletop Game called Super Meat Boy Forever: Rival Rush was also released in 2018 as a tie-in. Naturally, the switch to autorunner meant a drop in difficulty as the game appealed to casu- wait, what? It's still kicking ass? And in this genre? Yep, you're not getting a break from the pain.Meat Boy also appears in the BIT.TRIP series as a member of Commander Video's Five-Man Band. In return, Commander Video appears in Super Meat Boy as an unlockable character. Meat Boy and Dr. Fetus (as well as Bandage Girl in the remake) are also featured in The Binding of Isaac as unlockable items, while C.H.A.D shows up as a boss with a matching item drop. Meat Boy has also made cameo appearances in plenty of other games.Compare I Wanna Be the Guy, Syobon Action, and Kaizo Mario World, which are difficult through sheer unfairness, rather than Meat Boy's brutal, but fair design. Also compare 1001 Spikes.

Cherry Tapping: Tofu Boy is rather slow, can't jump very high or very far, has trouble climbing up walls and has no special ability whatsoever, which makes most levels effectively unbeatable with him. That didn't stop some people from speedrunning the levels he can (barely) finish.

Not-So-Harmless Villain: At first, Dr. Fetus seems like a comical Jerkass villain whose worst crime is rather slapstick abuse of Bandage Girl. Then, at the end of the first world, he burns down the forest the earlier levels took place in For the Evulz and chases Meat Boy down in a giant saw robot powered by the blood of innocent woodland creatures, and it gets worse from there.

Stealth Pun: A few. Our hero is a skinless boy, who looks like a block of beef. Who frequently dies. Dead meat. The character select screen is a Shout-Out to Super Mario Bros. 2, complete with the spotlight and curtains. The curtains are made of flesh as well. Meat curtains. The main hazard of the Salt Factory is, of course, salt, which can kill Meat Boy like anything else. It's basically rubbing salt in the wound. A common hazard is missile launchers that fire, well, missiles that home in on Meat Boy. They're meat seeking missiles!

Crapsack World / Crapsaccharine World: If you aren't dead, you're about to be, and everything kinda sucks while you're alive anyway. A squirrel can witness his whole family die, only to be killed by a random saw blade. He gets better, but only in time to be killed by a nuclear explosion to get a bit better again during the ending. Heck, even Dr. Fetus is only evil because everyone hates him! Also, most of the locations Meat Boy visits seem to be in ruins.

Massive Multiplayer Crossover
 Meat Boy (Video Game) / int_2c385759
comment
Massive Multiplayer Crossover: The first game alone had Gish and a Castle Crasher. The level pack contains N and some characters called "Alien Hominid" and "Pico". Super Meat Boy takes it to extremes with many major indie games having a representative, including Jill, Steve?, Captain Viridian, Tim, Commander Video, Ogmo, Spelunky, RunMan, the Ninja, Alien Hominid and a Castle Crasher, Josef, Flywrench, Naija, and The Kid. To the surprise of everyone, there's also a Headcrab. Each of those characters has their own special abilities, be it a Double Jump, limited levitation or tunneling.note Some of the characters only exist in either the Xbox 360 version or the PC version. Most PC-only characters have an Xbox equivalent, and vice versa.

Game-Breaking Bug
 Meat Boy (Video Game) / int_33ca811a
comment
Game-Breaking Bug / Good Bad Bugs: In one of the early levels, it's possible to get bandages over and over, resulting an incorrect percentage on the game completion. It also had a save file crash problem when it came out. The bugfix is still awaiting approval. When the PC port came out, many players also had some serious bugs ranging from bosses not appearing to not being able to start the game at all. The development team started to fiercely fix the glitches so it got 9 batches of bug fixes within 9 days. Unfortunately, the use of variable framerate physics makes the game so glitchy that it is unplayable on performance-challenged computers.

Flipping the Bird: Dr. Fetus is quite fond of flipping people off. So much so, that his biometric hand scanner in Forever is programmed to read his middle finger pressed against the screen. In Super Meat Boy Forever, Nugget learns of this gesture from Dr. Fetus and proceeds to flip off some butterflies. Meat Boy is not amused, though Bandage Girl laughs at the sight of it.

Boring, but Practical: Meat Boy can only run and jump off a surface, while other characters have special abilities such as mid-air jumps, gliding, and sticking to walls. However, he is very fast and has excellent air control (especially when it comes to wall jumps), making him a valid choice for virtually any level.

Cast of Snowflakes: All the bonus characters are taken from Indie Games, usually using the original art style, making each one look completely unique and out of place. For example, all versions of Super Meat Boy have a boy in a cape, a girl in gimp gear, a color-changing stick, an 8-bit rainbow trailing guy, and a thing that looks suspiciously like Meat Boy, along with many exclusives to different versions of the game.

While its predecessor had choppy flash animation for its cutscenes and a retro style for its gameplay, this game instead has more fluid animation and a more colorful and cartoony art style in both the cutscenes and gameplay, not unlike something you would see from The Millennium Age of Animation or something like Angry Birds.

Butt-Monkey: Both Meat Boy and Bandage Girl get abused quite badly. Dr. Fetus gets this too, especially given the intro. "Nobody likes Dr. Fetus, and that's why Dr. Fetus hates you!" Effectively, every single character that appears in a cutscene is one of these. Especially the tragic squirrel, who is the lone survivor of the forest fire, is attacked by a rogue flying buzzsaw, is vaporized by a nuclear explosion, and STILL manages to come back at the ending cutscene, totally beaten up. Most bosses are also killed off in a rather dark-humored way. They all have a happy ending in the final cutscene though.

Long Song, Short Scene: Downplayed with the 2010 Chapter 6 menu theme. The loop lasts around twenty-three seconds, while other menu loops only last around sixteen seconds... and Chapter 6 is the shortest chapter in the whole game, with only five normal levels per light/dark side and no warp zones. The 2015 menu themes for chapters 1 through 6 apply as well. The level menus are fairly quick to navigate, and it usually takes less than ten seconds to decide what level to play once you're on the menu, yet the only theme that lasts under forty seconds is the Chapter 7 theme at thirteen seconds. You'll only hear the whole songs if you leave the game running in the background or if you're intentionally waiting it out to listen to them. If you like the music, though, it's worth the wait.

Disney Villain Death: Subverted — Dr. Fetus appears to have died after being defeated Super Mario Bros. style in the final boss level, but then he pulls off a Taking You with Me by activating a self-destruct. After Meat Boy and Bandage Girl escape, Dr. Fetus reappears and hits Bandage Girl over the head repeatedly. Then it's Double Subverted — He actually accomplishes nothing by hitting her, which he soon realizes and falls to the ground. Then he's stomped on. A lot.

Nintendo Hard: And get used to Meat Boy's speed. Although those who think the game isn't hard enough, in Super Meat Boy, there is a more difficult counterpart to each level. Cotton Alley. The Kid's levels. Dark World Rapture. Have fun, kids. The Expert Remix chapter (which contains versions of main game levels that are even harder than the Dark World) means even more controller tossing. The Kid's 2011 Christmas features four difficult levels (though one can be broken easily by turnstile hopping). The fifth however asks you to traverse the original Kid's level backwards.

Crutch Character: Commander Video, sort of. His float makes it easy to clear levels and get bandages in the first two chapters, but he's very slow and his jump is one of the lowest in the game. Many levels later on are impossible to clear with him due to his flaws. [However, it's possible to get some bandages easier in later levels.

Malevolent Architecture: The mass amount of obstacles that you'll encounter makes each level a challenge to navigate through. Though while it's been confirmed that Dr. Fetus is the one who sets up the buzzsaws, that still doesn't explain the pits full of blood, lasers, and rocket launchers. The syringes in the Hospital stage are probably even stranger, as for some reason there are piles upon piles of them, and some are even stuck to the ceiling needle-down.

Minimalist Cast: In the flash game, there are no enemies (except for Black Maws in the Hell stage), and the only characters are Meat Boy, Bandage Girl, and Dr. Fetus. Starts to get averted in Super Meat Boy by adding enemies and boss characters, and Super Meat Boy Forever adds Nugget to the main cast.

It's also practically impossible to complete the majority of levels with him, since he can barely move or jump. You be the judge. The best part? He controls almost exactly like he does in the PETA flash game. It's a Take That! at the programmers too.

Art Shift
 Meat Boy (Video Game) / int_912b24c4
comment
Art Shift: While its predecessor had choppy flash animation for its cutscenes and a retro style for its gameplay, this game instead has more fluid animation and a more colorful and cartoony art style in both the cutscenes and gameplay, not unlike something you would see from The Millennium Age of Animation or something like Angry Birds. Rival Rush has a variety of artstyles in its cards due to being illustrated by several different artists.

Revenge: In the aftermath of the first boss fight against Big Slugger in Chipper Grove, the critters, lead by a squirrel without an arm and who looks like Solid Snake, use Big Slugger and Manipulator to get payback for destroying their forest. While they fail due to Dr. Fetus having installed a self-destruct mechanism, the squirrel barely gets one over him by pressing a button on his throne after dying, which causes a Time Crash. When everything is restored, the critters see the defeated Dr. Fetus and are satisfied with this, and walk away.

Medium Blending: The creators wanted to give art shifts opposite of The Ren & Stimpy Show (where characters and everything else get extremely detailed in closeups) so in-game graphics, where everything is distant, are drawn more realistically, but menus and cutscenes are drawn in cartoon style. In-game characters, however, are drawn in a very pixellated style.

Re-Release Soundtrack: Made for most console releases in 2015, and featuring Ridiculon (composer of The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth's soundtrack), SCATTLE (composer of Hotline Miami's soundtrack), and Laura Shigihara (composer of Plants vs. Zombies's soundtrack). This came about when Danny Baranowsky refused to extend the license Team Meat had on his soundtrack for future usage, and its presence inevitably caused a Broken Base.

Difficult, but Awesome: Flywrench. It takes a while to get used to its controls due to being very heavy and unruly. However, it can do a triple jump and scale up walls without having to jump off them which will become very handy in some of the levels. Naija is another of those characters who seems to be difficult to control at first, but becomes useful when practiced with.

AntiFrustrationFeature
 Meat Boy (Video Game) / int_9b9435d0
comment
Anti-Frustration Feature: Part of the core of the game: The respawn after death literally take less than a second and is automatic. The levels themselves are short, ranging from 15 seconds to 90 seconds, so in the quite likely event you die, you don't have to go through too much again. For each main chapter, you only need to clear 17 of the 20 Light World levels to unlock the chapter's boss. This is averted in the The End's Light World, where all 5 levels must be beaten to access the Final Boss, but for its Dark World counterpart, you need to beat 85 of the 105 total Dark World levels, meaning you can skip that chapter's levels and go straight to the boss. Various little side-quests when you get too frustrated with the main game, like beating past levels in record time, collecting bandages to unlock new playable characters, or playing through retro-styled "warp zones".

Took a Level in Badass: Meat Boy himself. Although he was already badass to begin with, he is even more of a Determinator in this game, continuously running without stopping, and even gaining the ability to punch enemies. Justified as it's his kid who gets kidnapped this time around. Bandage Girl also gets a larger role in this game, accompanying Meat Boy on the journey. Tofu Boy, of all people, managed to become as fast as the rest of the cast. He still isn't fully capable, however, as he will occasionally stop to catch his breath regardless of the player's input.

Ascended Extra: According to Word of God, this picture◊ is Tofu Boy's first appearance. Since it predates the whole PETA debacle, Tofu Boy wasn't intended to be a total wimp when that was drawn.

The Many Deaths of You
 Meat Boy (Video Game) / int_a7325f9e
comment
The Many Deaths of You: Amusingly lampshaded whenever you finish a level; the instant replay includes not only the attempt where you completed the level, but also your failed attempts. All of them. Simultaneously. So if you died a lot, you'll see huge swarm of meatboys getting massacred in various ways before just one of them finally reaches the goal.

Soundtrack Dissonance: The Cotton Alley has the brightest, cheeriest music in the game, even in the Dark World. It is also home to the most fiendishly difficult levels in the entire game. The 2015 soundtrack takes it a step further, making the songs more laid-back in tone and sounding more like a lighthearted tune from a kid's game.

comment
For each main chapter, you only need to clear 17 of the 20 Light World levels to unlock the chapter's boss. This is averted in the The End's Light World, where all 5 levels must be beaten to access the Final Boss, but for its Dark World counterpart, you need to beat 85 of the 105 total Dark World levels, meaning you can skip that chapter's levels and go straight to the boss.

Retcon: In Super Meat Boy, Meat Ninja is Meat Boy with a black suit and an eyepatch. In Forever, he's Meat Boy with gray eyebrows and a beard. The eyepatch is moved to Bandage Girl's counterpart, Bandage Ripper. A somewhat blatant example: the ending to Super Meat Boy shows Bandage Girl to be pregnant with Dr. Fetus, but that cliffhanger was dropped in favor of Bandage Girl giving birth to Nugget. Edmund even stated himself that the game was going to have an entirely different beginning before leaving the team.

Whether you decide to play as Meat Boy or Bandage Girl, both of them will serve as the In-Between, as while still good guys, they are still a Mama Bear and Papa Wolf duo who are no pushovers when it comes to reaching their baby.

Doppelgänger: Meat Boy has four and counting. And that's just playable characters. There's Brownie, who's a traditional Dark Reflection type doppelganger, Tofu Boy, pretender to the throne turned pathetic Joke Character and star of PETA's ill advised parody game, Meat Ninja, Meat Boy as a Future Badass from the year 20XX, and most recently, Potato Boy, an April Fools joke and Portal 2 tie in who's afraid of girls. Not to mention the fact every time Meat Boy dies, his former body lives on as a Meat Boy zombie as seen in Hell and Rapture, of which there are doubtlessly thousands. Then if that weren't enough, the Meat Boy zombies can merge together to form a colossal Meat Boy golem called "Little Horn", which serves as the game's fourth boss.

Forever makes him even sadder. In addition to being slower, his maximum jump height now decreases with every jump made (until he needs to stop and catch his breath), so it might take you a few minutes of strategically placing your jumps to realize when a level really is impossible with Tofu Boy.

Evil Knockoff: Brownie, who is designed to look like Meat Boy, but instead of meat is made of Dr. Fetus' poop. The "evil" bit is subverted in that he doesn't actually try to kill Meat Boy, and he even pulls a Heroic Sacrifice for Meat Boy and Bandage Girl in the ending.

Cerebus Syndrome: The game becomes clearly darker after the end of Chapter 4. The world gets nuked by Dr.Fetus, and Chapter 5 takes place in a destroyed and ruined city that filled with zombified Meat Boys and huge maggots. The music becomes more dramatic too. However, subverted in Chapter 7, The Cotton Alley. Levels in this chapter have a pink and white theme, and an extremely upbeat and happy theme.

Lil Slugger still has a timer for how long you can dilly dally, but rather than being an Advancing Wall of Doom, is instead the target of a minigame similar to the Street Fighter bonus stages where you break a car as fast as you can.

Bonus Boss
 Meat Boy (Video Game) / int_ee0327e7
comment
Bonus Boss: The bosses of the original Super Meat Boy all return as special Warp Zone stages, and each one requires mechanics that are, at the very least, mildly evocative of what was happening in their original fights. Lil Slugger still has a timer for how long you can dilly dally, but rather than being an Advancing Wall of Doom, is instead the target of a minigame similar to the Street Fighter bonus stages where you break a car as fast as you can. Dr. Fetus then hops in and tweets about how some teenagers messed up his ride. (Or, if you're playing as him, claims that some teenagers did for the insurance money.) C.H.A.D. is still fought by ducking and weaving around him to hit him three times, but instead, you do so in the style of a typical Punch-Out boxing match to knock him out. Dr. Fetus attempts to cheat by counting in half-measures to give C.H.A.D. a chance to get up, but you end up winning by a Technical Knockout. Brownie is still a race, but instead of being a race between the two of you to escape a rising hazard, it's more like an obstacle course run between old Friendly Rivals where the only motivator is beating Brownie to the end. Little Horn still menaces you from the background while you dodge him, but instead of waiting until he wears himself down, you're navigating an F-Zero style race track littered with flaming Meat Boy corpses. The Larries require you to make them smash their head into environmental hazards, but is instead done as a send-up to Mortal Kombat, where you need to work up strength to break a given material and force them to do it before they're ready. The final material is of course, a sawblade. Even Dr. Fetus qualifies for this trope when he appears in a Warp Zone. In his boss fight, he fired at Meat Boy with a bazooka as they ran through a maze. However, this time, you’re playing as Bandage Girl, and the fight plays out like a Mega Man boss battle- Metal Man's, to be specific (complete with Dr. Fetus throwing sawblades and a conveyor belt).

Would Hit a Girl
 Meat Boy (Video Game) / int_f42f96fa
comment
Would Hit a Girl: Dr. Fetus. Over and over and over.... Shoryuken, Megaton Punch, Spam Attack, and Spinning Piledriver are all acceptable to him. To drive this home even further, in Cotton Alley, where you play as Bandage Girl and you have to save Meat Boy, whenever Dr. Fetus shows up to disrupt your reunion, he never beats Meat Boy up before abducting him.

Deadly Rotary Fan: Several levels have giant fans that can propel you through the air. Get too close to the blades, though, and SPLORCH!

comment
Purposely Overpowered: Steve? from Minecraft can dig through walls and place blocks in midair to stand on, allowing him to completely skip most hazards. As such, you cannot earn achievements while playing as him. Also counts as Popularity Power as Minecraft is one of the most popular indie games out there.

Level in Reverse
 Meat Boy (Video Game) / int_f8f30ffe

Level in Reverse: A common theme among Dark World levels is to make you traverse the Light World counterpart backwards. With perhaps some extra buzzsaws thrown in.

Distressed Dude: For Cotton Alley, the roles of Meat Boy and Bandage Girl are switched - Meat Boy is the one who's captured, and Bandage Girl is the one saving him.

Weakened by the Light: The fight against C.H.A.D. requires you to climb to the top of the level and open up the roof to let in the sun. When exposed to the sunlight, C.H.A.D. shrinks and becomes harmless.

Sequence Breaking
 Meat Boy (Video Game) / int_fb111d49
comment
Sequence Breaking: A few levels have designs which can be exploited (some intentional, some not.) Most of them can be found in the fifth world. In 3-11X, one of the harder Salt Factory stages, it's possible to jump between or above the advancing buzzsaws so you don't have to go all the way to the right to jump over saws. The Kid and Flywrench can become handy in some of the later chapter levels due to fact that in some levels, they can often skip the portions of the level entirely. Runman can also come in handy in some levels as he's much faster and can jump much farther than the other characters. In the final boss level the sawblades advancing in front of you can be jumped over for additional speed. Oddly, if you get to your destination before the blades in that level, you become mysteriously immune to them.

Cross-Referenced Titles: Some levels in the Dark World have names referencing their counterparts in the Light World. For example, 1-13 is titled "Tommy's Cabin", while 1-13x is named "Tommy's Condo".
