Not to be confused with Meat Ninja, a character unlocked by 100%-ing the game.
"Sprint! Greedy..."- Ninja's description. Ninja is the main character in a game called n. They are unlocked after collecting 100 bandages for the XBLA, PS4/PSVita, Wii U, and Switch versions of Super Meat Boy. They have many advantages over Meat Boy. They can sprint, which will make them as fast as most other characters, but if you press both dash buttons, they will tilt their head to gain an amazing speed, enough to surpass Naija, RunMan, and Meat Boy for speedrun reasons. They're also very light, thus giving them amazing aerial control on fans and in mid-air. The only advantage Meat Boy has over them is faster sliding up walls. This makes the Ninja useless in wall-jumping levels.
Their physical appearance in the game is an incarnation of how they look in their series, based specifically on N+ — a black-suited humanoid with two red bandanas.
Trivia[]
- They appear as a character in the expansion pack to the original Meat Boy, the Meat Boy Map Pack.
