![]() ![]() Super Meat Boy is also something you'd be sad to miss out on. None of it is meant to make any sense - it's all just random, weird yet fun things wrapped around a perfected gameplay mechanic. Fetus is a fetus in a robotic suit - though probably not a doctor. Meat Boy is made of meat, Bandage Girl is made of bandages, Dr. It's fun just to jump and slide and climb on walls, and even better when you're doing it over an assortment of deadly traps. That said, Team Meat has taken that flawed experience and built what must be the best platforming experience available. It's a little disturbing to watch, knowing each Meat Boy was a failed attempt. You get to watch ten, twenty or more little Meat Boys climb over each other in an effort to reach Bandage Girl, but only one will survive. There's also a great feature that replays all of your attempts on a level at once, after you've beaten it.

Meat Boy has a running ability that the other characters don't have, making him the fastest, and arguably best, character in the game. With all of that work to do, it's kind of Team Meat to make the controls in their game amazingly tight and responsive. Consider just how much content that is and be awed. You'll need these varied new abilities to find Super Meat Boy's collectibles - bandages hidden sporadically in a large number of levels. Each of the unlocked characters handles completely different from Meat Boy, say providing a double jump or rewinding time.
