Now Super Meat Boy is planned to contain 24 characters, including the previously revealedTim,Alien Hominid, and Commander Video. Newly announced playable characters include “retro” styled alternate versions of Meat Boy, taken directly from the game’spreviously announced retro-themed levels.  As for total in-game levels, the current count is at 205. Also news is that if you score an “A” on a level, you unlock a “alternate” (meaning: hard-as-hell) version of said level. Large imposing saws seem to be a common theme amongst these alt-levels, as seen our gallery below.

Finally, we also got a look at the game’sAether-styled menu screen and a new Atari 2600 themed retro-level. Seeing gaming’s mainstream past collide with the its indie present is a real giddy-time fun experience for me.
