The Reverse Power-up are a power-up that appears in Super Meat Boy Forever. Presumably a subject of Dr. Fetus' experiments, it allows Meat Boy and co. to change direction by punching.

History

Super Meat Boy Forever

Reverse Power-ups first appear in in Equivalent Vector Change. Upon being hit by the player character, they will be destroyed, and a curved arrow will appear over their head. In this state, pressing the jump button in midair will cause the player to punch in the opposite direction, changing the direction in which they run as well. Much like a normal punch, it can be held to make it last longer, and the player cannot punch in midair unless it is refreshed by touching the ground or hitting something else with a dive.

Trivia

• Reverse Power-ups are one of the obstacles or level objects introduced simultaneously with another, being introduced alongside Uppercut Power-ups. Other examples include:
  • Sawblades and bumper blocks in Hello World
  • Flies and Shroomlings in Time for Fisticuffs
  • Needles and glass in You'll Feel a Pinch
