Super Meat Boy Forever Overview Meat Boy and Bandage Girl have grown as a couple since 2010. It seems like only yesterday the two love birds were escaping from an exploding laboratory in the sky. Now it’s the current year, and they’ve welcomed their daughter Nugget into the world. Their peaceful days enjoying life as a family came to an abrupt end when Dr. Fetus beat the snot out of them.

© Promotional Photo A scene from 'Super Meat Boy Forever.''Super Meat Boy Forever's' release was a long time coming. The wait was so long, it started to feel like the 'Forever' in the title was a reference to the game's development cycle. However, Team Meat had a surprise for everyone, releasing 'Super Meat Boy Forever' days before the Christmas holiday. While it's not the Meat Boy that everyone's used to, it's still a tough challenge in its own right and one that's worth taking.
Fresh meat
I wasn't expecting Super Meat Boy Forever's story to be charming, but there was something almost whimsical about the narrative. Meat Boy and Bandage Girl have settled down after the events of the original 'Super Meat Boy' and are now raising a child named Nugget. The evil Dr. Fetus strolls onto the scene, beats them both up, and steals Nugget.
All right, that's doesn't sound so whimsical, but the animation certainly fits that description. The animated cutscenes feel like they're taken from a cartoon series, unfolding like a silent film and expressing both down-to-earth characters and slapstick comedy. It's the kind of thing that would fit in perfectly on Adult Swim while also appealing to longtime gamers. I can't express the joy I felt at seeing Team Meat's homage to the iconic Super Mario RPG opening scene.
The cutscenes often come between worlds and they're a worthwhile reward for surviving the game's brutal (in a good way) level design.
Meat on the loose
Some might have come into 'Super Meat Boy Forever' expecting a platformer more in line with its predecessor. However, this is actually an auto-runner, meaning Meat Boy (or Bandage Girl or over a dozen other unlockable characters) moves automatically. Players are restricted to jumping, punching and sliding. While that might be disappointing to some Meat Boy purists, that doesn't mean this game is easy. In fact, it still has that level of difficult platforming that makes you want to pull your hair out by the roots, mainly thanks to the series' usage of one-hit kills.
'Super Meat Boy Forever's' stages introduce new mechanics and obstacles frequently, but none of it feels overwhelming. The game is very friendly about teaching players what they can do and how their moves can help them reach the end of each stage. On top of that, Team Meat's obstacle placement and level design is downright dastardly without being unfair. It's entirely possible to make it through every obstacle in the game, as everything ultimately comes down to timing and reflexes. There are no unfair 'RNG' elements or cheap enemy design. That's part of the beauty of the series. If you fail, it means you failed. That made it more likely that I would throw my controller by the 30 or 40th death, but it also made me want to keep coming back for more. A friendly checkpoint system also encouraged me to return for more punishment, since it meant that an untimely death wouldn't force me to repeat a full brutal stretch of obstacles back-to-back.
The other thing to note is that 'Super Meat Boy Forever's' stages are procedurally generated, pulling from a pool of thousands of sequences. Success isn't about memorizing stage layouts, it's about recognizing your own tools and how to use them. That made the game feel refreshing in many ways and made me want to explore further beyond the main story, including the parallel 'Dark World' stages.
One of the sole instances where 'Super Meat Boy Forever' drags is with the boss battles. The boss battles are designed with the same sort of philosophy as the standard stages, utilizing tricky, but not impossible, gameplay ideas. However, unlike the standard stages, players have to complete these fights in a single go. While hitting a wall in a normal stage would sometimes make me want to get up, take a walk and regroup, getting to the end of a boss battle and hitting a cheap death made me want to turn the game off entirely. Finally landing that last hit still feels satisfying, but getting there wasn't the same level of fun that I had with the normal stages.
Well done
To compare 'Super Meat Boy Forever' to its predecessor is folly. They're two different types of games, but Team Meat makes sure to inject its unique seasoning into both. As far as auto-runners go, 'Forever' stands along the top as one of the best in the genre, despite a short story length. With so many possible stage layouts, a multitude of challenging mechanics, and Team Meat's fluid platforming design, it makes this game feel like a joy.
Then it feels like anger. Sweet, sweet anger.

Super Meat Boy is BACK!! Play through literally thousands of levels! Fight Bosses, find secrets, cry at an amazing story!
Super Meat Boy Forever takes place a few years after the events of Super Meat Boy. Meat Boy and Bandage Girl have been living a happy life free of Dr. Fetus for several years and they now have a wonderful little baby named Nugget. Nugget is joy personified and she is everything to Meat Boy and Bandage Girl. One day while our heroes were on a picnic, Dr. Fetus snuck up on them, beat Meat Boy and Bandage Girl unconscious with a shovel, and kidnapped Nugget! When our heroes came to and found that Nugget was missing, they knew who to go after. They cracked their knuckles and decided to never stop until they got Nugget back and taught Dr. Fetus a very important lesson. A lesson that can only be taught with punches and kicks.
The challenge of Super Meat Boy returns in Super Meat Boy Forever. Levels are brutal, death is inevitable, and players will get that sweet feeling of accomplishment after beating a level. Players will run, jump, punch and kick their way through familiar settings and totally new worlds.
What’s better than playing through Super Meat Boy Forever once? The answer is simple: Playing through Super Meat Boy Forever several times and having new levels to play each time. Levels are randomly generated and each time the game has completed the option to replay the game appears and generates a whole new experience by presenting different levels with their own unique secret locations. We’ve handcrafted literally thousands of levels for players to enjoy and conquer. You can replay Super Meat Boy Forever from start to finish several times before ever seeing a duplicate level. It is truly a remarkable feat of engineering and a monumental example of ignoring the limits of rational game design and production.
They don’t give Oscars to games, but they probably will after Super Meat Boy Forever becomes the best movie of 2020 and 2021! Our story takes Meat Boy and Bandage Girl through several worlds in search of their darling little Nugget with beautifully animated cutscenes and musical accompaniment that makes Citizen Kane look like a reaction video to a sled unboxing. Players will laugh, they will cry, and when all is said and done maybe they’ll emerge from the experience a little better than when they started. Ok so that last part probably won’t happen but marketing text is hard to write.
