This page is rather stubbly and could use some expansion. Are you a bad enough dude to rescue this article? |
Super Meat Boy is a classic tale of boy meets girl. Except the boy has no skin, the girl is made out of bandages, and they're both being hassled by a fetus in a snappily dressed mechanical suit with an endless supply of sawblades and plague syringes. You've probably heard it all before.

Console Characters
The graphics for the Xbox 360-only characters are still present in the PC version of the game, but their code is not - hex-editing your save game to forcibly unlock them just gives you a bunch of Meat Boy duplicates.
Unused Stages
Found within the game's 'gamedata.dat' are the game's files, and some unused stages made for testing. Here is the list of files that are unused in the game (not counting leftovers from teh internet's stages on the Xbox 360 version) found in the directory [/gamedata.dat/data/levels/]. Half of these seem to be tests.

Level consists of a little room with a key floating in the middle. If Meat Boy touches the key, he will be killed immediately. It is possible that 'fake keys' which killed the player on contact were planned to be in the game.
- boss6test.smbl
- boss32.smbl
Early design of the Brownie boss level. Salt flows from right to the left instead of a heap of salt slowly rising from the ground. However, the salt wave only goes to the left, once it hits the wall, it will disappear and respawn on the start point again. Interestingly, the boss's intro cutscenes still has the salt flowing the way it does in this early design. The level contains a few graphical errors, and is not completable due to several broken hit boxes.

- bossx.smbl
Early design of Lil' Slugger's boss level. Unlike in the final version, the forest in this level looks like it is actually on fire. Fire was removed from the final version, possibly due to performance issues on older hardware. The layout of this level seems to indicate that it was for the original version of Lil' Slugger, which had spider legs.

- demon.smbl
Very early design of Little Horn's boss level. It consists only of a few lines and boss object '8'. Curiously, the boss object is rotated by 45 degrees, though the rotation of boss objects doesn't seem to have any effect on bosses.

Developer Mode
There are some debug tools left in the game, including an unfinished, buggy version of the level editor. Add -devmode to the game's command line parameters. Press F1 to enter the editor, and press it again to exit the editor. F3, F4 etc. open some other editors.
Note: don't use new level, the palette thing is bugged. Instead, when starting the game, add the command-line: -palette palettefile.lp
Replace 'palettefile.lp' with one of the following:
- 4bit1.lp
- end.lp
- factory.lp
- forest.lp
- gb.lp
- glitch.lp
- hell.lp
- hospital.lp
- rapture.lp
- retro1.lp
It'll start you with that palette.
