With 106% completion, I can safely say Super Meat Boy is a phenomenal platformer packed to the brim with content (way more than I expected going in) - there's over a dozen unlockable characters, 7 chapters which each have challenge versions for all the levels in them, 100 bandage collectibles, a custom level editor and player, and 6 bonus levels in the game. However, the more side-content you indulge in, the more painful the game gets - while I made it through about 99% of the content just fine, that remaining 1% consisted of the most frustrating levels and bandages in the game. Pin-point precision, the most perfect timing, and probably watching a youtube video to find cheap spots in survival levels to cheese the AI or projectile patterns start becoming necessary in these levels. Some people like that stuff, and I do to (up to a certain point), but I just felt like some of them were due to poor level design rather than a skill issue on my part (although who knows).
