Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed. Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so. Our policies can be reviewed here.
All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation.
All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.
When you think about it, it makes a lot of sense that the boss fight after the reveal that Meat Boy is basically immortal relies heavily on Trial and Error Gameplay.
A rather subtle one from Super Meat Boy: World 5, The Rapture, takes place in a ruined city. Okay, so far so good. However, a hint of horror creeps in when you realize the likely reason WHY the city is ruined: Dr. Fetus set off a nuke at the end of the last level, though how exactly the blast radius reached the city from Hell is another question entirely. The question of what exactly populated the city is answered when large mounds of Meat Boy-like corpses start showing up, in addition to the Abomination, an enemy that appears to be a horribly mutated and deformed version of our meaty hero. As if that wasn't bad enough, we eventually begin seeing piles of what are undoubtedly large masses of maggots and an already nightmare fuelish monster called a King Carrion. The horror only really peaks, though, when you think about where these horrors are coming from, and especially why you haven't seen any Abominations or corpse piles in a while. If you hadn't figured it out, these huge swarms of flies and maggots are EATING the corpses of the city's residents. And if the name of the level is anything to judge by, you're the only one left...
