Salt is a hazard that first appeared in Meat Boy.
Despite typically not being a dangerous substance, salt harms Meat Boy due to his lack of skin. It almost exclusively appears in The Salt Factory.
History[]
Meat Boy + Meat Boy (Map Pack)[]
Salt debuts in Meat Boy, also appearing in its Map Pack expansion. It first appears in 1. Got Salt? In this game, it functions as part of the tile set. Contact with salt will kill Meat Boy.
Super Meat Boy[]
Salt reappears in Super Meat Boy, first appearing in 3-1 Pit Stop. Salt in this game is much larger and not explicitly part of a tile set, but otherwise will still kill Meat Boy on contact. It appears in almost every level of The Salt Factory.
In Brownie, salt continually rises as the level progresses.
