“	Have you ever gotten between a mama bear and her bear cub? Probably not because if he had, chances are you wouldn't be reading this art book. Well, Bandage Girl is a mama bear and Nugget is her bear cub so she’s bound to beat the crap out of anything that stands between her and Nugget.	”
—Tommy Refenes describing Bandage Girl, The Art of Super Meat Boy Forever

Bandage Girl (formerly Bandaid Girl) is a major character and the deuteragonist of the Super Meat Boy series. She is the girlfriend of Meat Boy, and the mother of Nugget. She's best known for being the "damsel in distress," needing to be saved from almost every level in Super Meat Boy.

Bandage Girl appears in most games in the series, only ever being absent from Dr. Fetus' Mean Meat Machine. She is playable in all of her appearances in some capacity, most notably being the only playable character in The Cotton Alley in Super Meat Boy and being one of two starting playable characters in Super Meat Boy Forever.

General information

Appearance

Bandage Girl appears to be composed mostly, if not entirely, of pink adhesive bandages, taking up a cube-like shape with stubby arms and legs. Her hands have four fingers each. She has eyelashes, and usually wears a flower with white petals on her head, likely a daisy. This flower was given to her by Meat Boy when they first met. She is slightly smaller than Meat Boy.

In the Flash prototype and occasionally in Super Meat Boy, Bandage Girl is seen wearing shoes, either black or pink. Additionally, certain key art depicts her with breasts.

Powers and abilities

• Immortality: Upon death, Bandage Girl will quickly respawn at a nearby point.
• Acrobatics: Bandage Girl can run very fast, jump far, and perform wall-jumps in quick succession.
• Slipperiness: Bandage Girl can slide up walls with ease using bandages as a lubricant.
• Strength/Combat skills: In Super Meat Boy Forever, Bandage Girl is shown to be able to fight. Typically, she kicks enemies via dashing, sliding, or diving. These kicks are strong enough to knock people away.
• Resilience: As of Super Meat Boy Forever, Bandage Girl is more durable against certain hazards, such as needles, glass, and acid.
