Hello World is the 1st level of the Light World of The Forest in Super Meat Boy, as well as the first level in the entire game.

This level contains a mostly-enclosed space: two high walls on each side surrounding ground with a slope and ledge. Within the enclosed space is a single platform where Bandage Girl resides.

Strategy[]

Being the first level, it is very trivial to complete. Only two jumps are required to reach Bandage Girl, either by jumping on the ledge to the right, then onto Bandage Girl's platform, or by wall-jumping on the left wall (which is the faster option overall). Despite the lack of hazards, it is possible to die in this level if the player scales either wall to the top and runs out of bounds.

Hello World's simple yet varied layout can be used by new players to get accustomed to Meat Boy's controls, particularly how he moves on solid ground, slopes, and walls.

Trivia[]

  • Despite being able to see all of the level's content on one screen, Hello World has vertical scrolling
  • Both this level and its Dark World variant, 1-1X Oh, Hello are named after greetings.

Name origin[]

  • The name of the level is a reference to the titular greeting of a "Hello, World!" program, a beginner computer program used to illustrate a coding language's basic syntax. The use of this phrase refers to how this is the "beginner level" of Super Meat Boy.
