2. Flashpoint: An archival application containing thousands of Flash programs. Both Meat Boy and its map pack expansion are included.
3. Ruffle: A Flash emulator that lets you play Both Meat Boy and its map pack expansion on any websites that still include said games, albeit with a few imperfections.

Trivia

Compared to Super Meat Boy

• There are no bandages. There are bandaids instead, which look identical to bandages.
• There is only one animation of Dr. Fetus kidnapping bandaid (bandage) girl when completing a level, showing Dr. Fetus appearing, taking bandaid girl and flying away. It is not in the super version.
• Meat boy's skeleton falls out when dying (along with meat boy exploding). In the super version, meat boy only explodes, without his skeleton falling out

General

• If the game window is stretched out longer than it should be while in the intro, you can see meat boy become stuck infinitely running into a tree in the menu.
