Dr. Fetus is the boss level of the Dark World of The End in Super Meat Boy, and the sole Dark World boss level in the game. It requires any 85 Dark World levels to be completed to be unlocked.
The level is structurally similar to its Light World counterpart, with Dr. Fetus chasing you down a deadly corridor with a rocket launcher, but with even more sawblades and a darker backdrop.
Completing this level ends the game with a unique ending.
Cutscenes[]
The cutscenes are mostly identical to its Light World counterpart.
Intro[]
Meat Boy is obstructed by Dr. Fetus, who presses a rocket launcher against his face. He pulls the trigger, blowing Meat Boy up. He celebrates, but Meat Boy quickly respawns nearby. Dr. Fetus keeps shooting at him (with Meat Boy respawning each time) until he loses his patience.
Escape[]
Dr. Fetus falls from the suspended bridge, breaking free from his glass jar in the proccess. Meat Boy and Bandage Girl look down at Fetus as he struggles to breathe, only for him to press a button on a remote that starts destroying his castle. Meat Boy puts Bandage Girl on his back and begins their escape.
Outro + credits[]
Meat Boy and Bandage Girl reach the entrance to the crumbling castle, Bandage Girl escapes, but Meat Boy is about to be crushed by falling debris. Thankfully, the debris is caught by Brownie, who gestures Meat Boy to escape. He does, with Brownie falling with the couple leaping away as the castle explodes with him inside.
Meat Boy and Bandage Girl wake back up and look at the exploding castle. They look at each other, finally free from Dr. Fetus' atrocities... only for him to land on Bandage Girl and start pummeling her. The pummeling is weak, however, and she pulls him off. He tries to act cute and innocent to get some mercy; Bandage Girl pretends to comply, until she screeches and stomps him to a supposed death. Meat Boy is mildly disturbed, but gives the player a big thumbs up. The credits play from here.
Strategy[]
Much like its Light World counterpart, the right wall of saws can be leaped over, allowing the player to go as quickly as possible to the end of the level, in which the button will make Meat Boy invincible.
