Upward is the second level of the Light World of The Forest in Super Meat Boy.
This level primarily contains two walls, a scenario designed to teach the player the mechanics of wall-jumping.
Strategy[]
The intended way to complete this level is to reach the rightmost wall and perform a series of wall jumps to reach Bandage Girl at the top. This can be accomplished either by jumping from wall to wall or by jumping off of the same wall. Alternatively, the player can use the left side of the middle platform to reach the top with a well-timed wall jump. This level is arguably harder to die in than in 1-1 Hello World, since there's now only one way to reach out of bounds.
Trivia[]
- This is the second level to feature a tutorial window, specifically for wall jumping.
- This level introduces the saw blade, the most common obstacle in the game, but the only one in the level is out of the player's reach.
Name origin[]
- The name of the level and it's dark world counterpart are part of the phrase "Upward and Onward". This is somewhat ironic, as the phrase is generally used to refer to moving on from a bad experience, though this is only the second level in the game.
