    Figured the forum could do with a OH GOD I CAN'T DO THIS LEVEL thread.
     
    Anyway, I've been slowly pushing through Hell. Thus far I've managed to A+ all of world one and two and even finish the kill screen levels. Though for the life of me I cannot figure out how to get the bandages in the warp zones in world 3! I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, but if I extend my jump far enough to get the bandage I can't get back onto the ledge afterward!
     
    Let me explain with child like MS paint scrawls. (Game Boy theme warp zone)

    Man that looks like a bitch. 
    I'm on the salt factory, forget what level. Love this game. 
     
    I just remembered, last level I did was the one with the missile launcher and the key and bandage girl unlocks super slowly and you have to backtrack for the bandage.

    I got to the Salt Factory and stopped playing, haven't even started that world yet. I've working on trying to do as much in World 1, I've completed the Dark World of level one so far.

    I managed to go through the whole game from start to finish, while streaming..  all the "light" worlds with A rank and most bandages i could find .. if you're stuck at any of those just skip through my archives and take a look see at the recent clips.
     http://www.justin.tv/alee81/videos
     will get around to dark world and all warp zones eventually
    p.s  sever profanity might be heard .. as game gets frustrating while played in marathon crack sessions :p

    I've beaten worlds 1 through 3. Now I'm going back to ace all the levels. So far I have everything aced and every bandage in the first chapter. I can't imagine what hell awaits me in the next chapter. This game is brutal. The most inconveniently placed bandages EVER.

    Does anyone know how to do -1 in World 1? I can't seem to find the right timing in the last part of it with the veritcal corridor and the saw blades shooting down at you.
     
    [edit] Oh god nevermind, I JUST got it with an incredible amount of luck.

    You have to slide to the bottom edge of that thing and go all out on the jump so you just barely are able to turn yourself around and make it back.  It takes a little time to get it right, but this was hardly the most difficult bandage I've gotten so far.

    Haven't really been stuck yet.  Tomorrow (well, later today technically) I'm going to try to get some bandages and get some new characters.

    This is awesome.  I watched a bit of your early levels, and I bookmarked your videos in case I get stuck in the future.  Thanks.

    No I don't think it is. I base this off the fact that I've finished SMB and got A+ on most levels, but still can't do the last couple of levels of N+, I think the controls are just so much tighter and better on SMB that it's much easier imo, and when you die in SMB, you know that it's always your fault, whereas in N+ some of the times I died I just couldn't help but feel if the controls were a little better or more responsive then I woulda survived. Having the multiple characters with different abilities helps to make SMB easier too because if you just keep fucking it up you can switch out to a different character and make it easier for yourself.
     
    Also, OT, only got stuck on a couple of levels but managed to get through them all, I just have to finish a couple of dark world ones now and then go back and try to get myself at least in the top 100 on the leaderboards for every level =P I never really get angry with the game which is just amazing tbh considering how many times I died on some levels. It's like even if you die 10 times in a row, you still keep saying "Ok I got this.." because you know what it is you have to do and you get a little closer to your goal with each attempt. It's one of the most perfect platformers I've ever played.

    I just started playing it about 2 hours ago, trying to get everything in a world before moving on but I'm guessing that approach will go to shit pretty soon.

    @ SpaceInsomniac  glad you liked it..  i was considering putting them on youtube.. but i dunno if the quality is good enough.. also theres a bit too much swearing and repetition on some levels :p
    I went through all of N+ levels and dlc and i'd say this game.. atleast where im at now..  seems a step up in difficulty..  atleast if you're gonna get A ranks on all dark world levels.  beating the main game might be at the same level as N+ or a little easier.. 
    btw im basing this on playing with meatboy only.. i havent unlocked all the chars or really attempted to play with them..  there is a chance that it gets way easier with some super char you unlock..

    Just finished Hell, though with the progress erase bug I'm back to the Salt Factory.
     
    Not finding the game as hard as N+ so far.  Or at least its better designed and easier to keep trying at it even if you die.  I simply didn't have the patience to perfect the N+ levels, but this I never really get that frustrated.

    yea I finally beat it after something like 3 hours of trying last night and this morning. I might just suck, but dang.  It's really fun playing as the Kid in the normal levels though! Got the 3rd fastest time in the world at one of the levels with him.

    Yea, but the first level is the one that took the longest to complete, at least for me. In the second level you have to ride on elevators and avoid spikes, and in the third one you have to avoid those super fast moving spiked walls from the actual I wanna be the guy-game

    Well i think the opposite. Though i think SMB is a superb platformer, i think N+ had better and tighter controls(and took more skill,imo). It's just that it had nearly impossible obstacles in the later parts of the game. I still to this day don't know how i beat it, but i did :) On to Super Meat Boy...

    @tsolless: That was the last one I manged to A+, you have to be quick enough through the first portal to beat the lava balls in the second room, if you don't have to wait for them the lava bit is quite easy.
     
    Edit: 1-20 on bandage girl's world is something else. The saws on the top few levels seemed to be based on luck whether I'd hit them or not. The only level I can't seem to make par on.

    This part in 6-5. The red circles are saws and the blue areas are where I am coming from and where I need to get. Just fuck it already. This is the first part where I am completely stumped on how to get past an obstacle.

    I'm stuck at 7-something. The stage is called HOPSCOTCH and I'm thorougly convinced that is the hardest level of the entire game for me.

    N is more freestyle than SMB, which has a fairly specific path through most levels. So N is harder in some cases, but I feel ultimately SMB can be more demanding and difficult than N in certain situations.

    There are some blocks built into the wall on the left. If you jump just as Meat Boy hits the bottom one while holding RT, you should float right between the saws.

    It's the one were you constantly have to hover/jump over blades with the help of one of these repulsor things. Which is all the while moving forward. Naturally.

    Didn't even see your original message, but yeah, whenever I read SMB even in the proper context my mind says Mario. It's been that way forever. That had to be deliberate on their part.

    Overall in terms of getting the bandages and beating Dark World levels, Super Meat Boy is harder than N+.

    Yeah, compared to that The Kid seems easier (altough it still took me an hour to get him), because with him I at least knew, what the heck I was supposed to do.

    I just got the bandage the topic starter is talking about. It's a little tricky but not that difficult. You just have to push away from the wall when you jump from just about the bottom point. Make sure you didn't cause too many of the blocks just outside it to disappear or you can't get to Bandage Girl either. 
     
    I finished the main game and The Cotton Alley (which was...insane) and now I'm working on the Dark World and bandages.
