Codename
The game's local save file is named Vertigo.sol which was the in development codename for Meat Boy. This codename is also present at the top of the save file itself.
Unused Graphics
Obviously a placeholder for the Newgrounds ads in the loading screens.
Unused Death Screen
Inside the game is code for a unused death screen. This screen will show text saying "You Died :(", with the only way for you to retry is to hit ↵ Return. This screen is used in the game's prototype.
Revisional Differences
General
- The version included in The Basement Collection skips the Newgrounds loading screen
- Later releases adds the feature to mute the game with M, while no such mute function existed before.
Title Screen
Original | The Basement Collection |
---|---|
- The Newgrounds logo has been removed in The Basement Collection.
- Option to download the standalone version was also removed.
Jump Physics
The Basement Collection let's you control your jump height by holding Space when jumping, while the original only has one set jump height.
Original | The Basement Collection |

{ if(!Key.isDown(13)) { game.enter = true; } if(!Key.isDown(32) && !Key.isDown(65)) { game.space = true; } if(!Key.isDown(27)) { game.escape = true; } if(!Key.isDown(46)) { game.deletekey = true; } }; |
{ if(!Key.isDown(13)) { game.enter = true; } if(!Key.isDown(32) && !Key.isDown(65)) { game.space = true; p_space = true; } else if(rspace == true) { p_space = false; } if(!Key.isDown(27)) { game.escape = true; } if(!Key.isDown(46)) { game.deletekey = true; } }; |
Hot Coffee Cutscene
Typically if you unlock everything in the game you'll unlock a literal sex scene with Meat Boy and Band-Aide Girl. Though on some sites and The Basement Collection this is replaced with this message.
The hot coffee ending has been censored because a bunch of losers cryed about it. I'm as pissed as you are but my hands are tied.
Game Boy Version
A Game Boy version exists which simply makes all the graphics monochrome, and worse.
- The "Newgrounds" text during the intro and title screen are smaller
- Many graphics are made in a lower resolution, or changed to be more abstract
