Jan 09, 2018 Super Meat Boy is finally coming out on the Nintendo Switch, and to celebrate this (sort of) momentous occasion for fans that like taking their Meat Boy out and about, we’ve put together a list. Nov 10, 2017 Video showing how to unlock the kid. This is by far the hardest warp zone to beat in my opinion.
They’re also, mostly, indie character crossovers, back when all the big indie game mascots stuck together. You’ll find Tim from Braid, Alien Hominid, Headcrab, Commander Video, Splelunky, and even Steve from Minecraft. That’s just a few of the bonus characters, and some of them can be unlocked with codes — which is nice if you’re lazy like us and don’t want to actually do anything tough to get extra characters. Check out the full list below for the complete rundown.
