They could actually make a pretty good game that you use "glitches" to do stuff. Just put alt glitch, jump glitch and alt jump glitch in as features and the game is done.
i cant believe yall whackass people still think vegans are iron deficient. iron is literally the easiest nutrient next to protein to get as a vegan. has a single person ever compared their diet to a real vegan or the nutrition facts of milk to any alt milk? oat milk generally has 3x the calcium and other nutrients. meat isnt the most nutrient dense food per calorie OR per gram.
Ok, but the idea of being able to phase through walls at the cost of not knowing where you are feels like it could be a neat mechanic for a video game with some small tweaks
I'd say he's more like student from Run 3. They both aren't athletic to any point, but make up for it in special ways to get around. For student, they distort gravity at will. For tofu boy, they evaporate zombies just by staring at them, snap apart walls, double jump, bounce like a spring, phase through explosions, and turn off gravity.
I sorta want it to be canon that Tofu boy can actually do the alt glitch whenever they want to. So Tofu boy can just canonically teleport around, but only horizontally without help or vertically with a vertical conveyer belt.
And have him just be a friendly and helpful dude who is just inept without those abilities. Instead of tryin to steal Meat Boy's girl, he wants to help him out since he's worried about him with all the hell he goes through.
There was a marvel character that was a normal dude with a reality bending type writer. Whatever he typed would become reality. He died from writer's block in the middle of a fight.
Tofu boy, being born in a lab and raised to be a propaganda tool, escapes his PETA masters and works hard to become a respected member of the SMB family. This is kinda wholesome ngl.
@@jeelprep115 it’s part of his character lore that he has a major iron deficiency!! it’s pretty funny to me personally as someone who ALSO has a major iron deficiency and looks just about as sickly (if not, moreso) as our poor tofu boy, lol (i mean this affectionately)
13:38 "Actually I wouldn't mind if there's a game with just stuff like this, and where you just play as Tofu Boy" Ah yes, the good ol stockholm syndrome I'm familiar with as a QA tester.
But imagine a platformer game where the story is you just have a normal ass human that somehow got roped into doing the platforming and he cant so he gets space and time manipulation powers to be able to actually win, all intentional, would go pretty hard
They were discovered right away when Horsehead made his video, some of the initially impossible levels were already beaten thanks to it, notably by a guy called atpx8
3:20 software developer here. It's not running calculations in the background at all. This is exactly why you see this happening. Each frame it's multiplying the player's movement by the time since this last frame. Typically this is a really small amount. But when you alt/tab out of the game the game essentially freezes. When it regains focus, however long it was frozen it multiplies like it usually does, only now the value is _way_ larger than expected. The reason walls get skipped is because the game never checks if the next movement point goes through a wall because this technically shouldn't be possible. It checks if current pos + (vector * time) lands you in a wall, if so then you have collided. If your movement pushes you clear past the wall, then as far as the game is concerned you're good to go.
Underrated comment, I love when people with the know-how on these things give an in depth explanation, I will never need to use this info it's just nice to know.
Mind if I ask you a question? I'm a software dev too, but not in the game department (the closest thing I did to that are mods), and there's one thing about this explanation that just keeps boggling my mind. I've played Super Meat Boy quite a lot these past few days, utilizing alt/tab glitch quite a bit, and there is one peculiar thing. Interactable tiles. If you alt tab while on an interactable tile (for example, a moving platform, or the gravel/disappearing blocks), the game will always push you down the moment you alt tab. Why is that? Is the game actually checking for downwards vector each frame and detecting a collision so cancelling it? If so, (which would be a bit weird I think), why wouldn't that happen on solid ground? I know you're just making educated guesses based on what's happening so you don't have a definitely real answer, but this one thing just makes me very curious every time I play. Btw. just to add onto that, it doesn't happen on all "dynamic" tiles. For examples, on tiles that disappear after collecting a key, or tiles that are affected by switches. Alt/tab on those acts like on normal solid ground. It's just on the "more" dynamic tiles, like moving platforms or ground that disappears when you walk on it.
@@kuba4ful you can probably find out quickly by asking in a Super Meat Boy speedrunning subreddit/discord cause those people would probably know game/engine much better than anyone here
You'd probably think that meat boy feels so much smoother and better after playing this run, it'd be like riding a bike with training wheels after going up a hill on a unicycle
Maybe, but because of all the new techniques they had to use in the Tofuboy playthrough it almost becomes a whole different game in how the controls feel I'd assume. Ik this isn't relevant at all but I base this assumption off of when I was playing different modes and with different settings in Among Us, the game is almost completely changed because your goals, your controls, what things you practice, what you focus on, and everything can change. So it might be less like easy mode and more like being used to playing chess and suddenly playing connect four.
i have never played meatboy, but watching the ease of it, my brain not computing the “this level took me DAYS” “this run took me MONTHS” I am VERY confident I can do this, even though its gonna beat my ass more than likely-
Incredible video. You were able to explain more about the techniques for each level, and execute a lot of the methods I had theorized in my runs. We are closer than ever to making a 100% tofu boy run a reality, and it's possible because of people like you.
Edmund recently said on Twitter that he went undercover on PETA's forums to raise awareness about a "new hit indie game" so he kind of purposefully got them to notice the game and respond to it which is hilarious
still find it hilarious when devs just make fun of PETA in their own games without saying “peta bad” or causing a huge scene, this being my favorite example of such more indie titles should do this more often
I don't even understand how PETA got offended over Super Meat Boy. He's not made out of an animal like cow, chicken, pig etc. He's just a boy made out of human meat. He just has no skin.
Who would've thought that to beat the level, you'd have to use the glitch that keeps your current velocity, but vertically? Actually surprised it was deemed impossible before this video, this seems like one of the easiest levels and probably even beatable with a single Alt usage.
Man PETA really decided to take meatboys name out of context. He doesn't have skin which is why he's called meatboy and bandage girl is his perfect counterpart because she can help the skinless problems. You put a bandage or bandaid on a cut.
Ah yes, meat boy has extreme parkour skills while tofu boy can ... teleport and phase through solid matter. fair enough. This reminds me a lot of Zip-tech from Elden Ring speedruns, just on a smaller, more controlled scale.
@@foreignuser_the glitches may not be exclusive, but tofu boy is the *only* character that NEEDS them in order to succeed, making it special to him by way of over-reliance.
NGL the thing I loved the most about this video was, you told us from the start what you could do. So many RUclips videos build suspense and mess around with your feelings for 30 minutes and pretend they can’t do something only to reveal they actually can after working on it for 50 hours. You get straight to the point, level by level, if you can beat it you can, and if you can’t beat it you say so straight away. It’s so refreshing. Also I love the format where you were able to get to EVERY level. So many of these challenge videos omit levels by saying “yes yes I did that but it was so easy I don’t need to show it” in the essence of cutting the video down. This was an exhibition of pure skill and I loved being able to see every single part of the run. Great editing and congratulations on a very difficult challenge beaten!
Yeah ok, this is literally just “Tofu Boy shatters reality with King Crimson to just barely achieve what Meat Boy can do alone.” And I love it, 10/10 would watch another video of the same premise XD
Great video: all the gameplay is shown, all the tech is explained, your thoughts on the impossible/theoretically possible levels are voiced, and there's a really cheering live camera to see your immediate (and cute :P) reactions. Congrats on the achievements, and have a good luck!
Apparently, when the update that adds Tofu Boy was first announced, PETA was pleased to see the team behind Super Meat Boy put their character as a cameo, stating they're "excited to see which character preforms better, but since vegetarians live longer, we bet on our Super Tofu Boy". Oh boy, they did not see that coming...
tofu boy literally has king crimson abilities, he erases time leaving just the result watching replay is like looking at his abilities via eyes of a bystander
to be honest, that whole thing Peta made is beyond propaganda. this is basically like "I drew myself as the chad and you as the soyjak" but... five times more pathetic.
unless you find a way to jump higher with tofu boy, all levels will always be impossible because of 5-10 and 5-13 at the very least (this is also the issue for all the other impossible levels)
not gonna lie, a playable character that can let you play the game completely different from the normal gameplay is an ingenious idea I hope a platformer game can make this a possibility
Shovel Knight's extra campaigns are like that too, although the levels are different. Plague knight was very fun, completely different from Shovel Knight
That's some serious dedication you have. I watched the horse guys video a while back, like 3 days after it was made, and I thought it was hilarious. You found the one glitch he said we needed.
Wow!! I love the how you actually counted the beats of the music to make it across the gaps without looking. It doesn't even feel like a glitch/cheating, it just feels like you're playing an entirely new game, especially when you make use of ledges that would be entirely useless in a normal run of the game.
I'm pretty excited that I watched him beat light 4-13 live in a stream today. He was working on the dark level 4-13 and during practice on the light version found a way to mid-air alt glitch into the bandaid area and then alt glitch from that middle platform into those locked key blocks in that tube on the right, which lead directly to bandaid girl. Normally, it seems the laser kills you if you pass through the beam, even when alt glitching. You just register as dead wherever you end up. For some reason in a very particular location / angle you can bypass the kill trigger. In the dark map this area has more spikes and is much harder to get into, so he couldn't reproduce the solution before the stream ended.
A game where Tofu Boy is basically Neo from The Matrix... hmmmmmmmmmm Edit: yes he'd still be absurdly slow and sluggish. To balance that, you'd use "glitches" to walk through walls on the air, jump mid-air, etc. Combine that with hard as nails challenge levels that _take advantage of this_, and you have a potentially amazing original idea for another rage game platformer if you replace Tofu Boy with another character entirely.
fantastic production quality! Not going to say anything like "you deserve 100000 subscribers" though. Sub counts alone don't account for niche genres or communities. However, I do think that you will have extreme amounts of growth if you can keep up this high level of quality and innovation! Thanks for this entertaining video!
This is insanely impressive. I hope this gets you some recognition because not only is this well edited, it's am awesome callback to the original video.
I love that you used some of the PS Vita / Console Meat Boy music, its a vibe to listen to while watching you strategize on each level. Even if not as good as the original music, the alternate Super Meat Boy soundtrack constantly goes unnoticed!
Congrats on the video blowing up!! Wow, looking at your other videos and seeing your most recent post blown out of the water is super cool! Wishing the best on your youtube endeavours :)
HELL YEAH :3 love this video,, super impressive plays, and you have a great exposition and editing!! also dont know if it was intentional but pannenkoek reference when you first explained the glitches x3
I love how he says alt glitching + jump glitching allowing you to jump in the air is "like Super Smash Brothers", as if double jumps in games never existed outside of those games.
the funniest unintentional comedy in this video is when he raises his arms at 9:05 to reveal that his right arm is significantly more jacked than his left lmao
I love the extreme pettiness of Tofu Boy's design. Like you pointed out, the game isn't explicitly pro-meat at all, PETA read all of that into it. So the response? Explicitly making an iron deficiency joke at the expense of the vegans because if PETA are gonna go low, the only response is to go lower.
there's something unfathomably badass about Tofuboy being so bad yet so overpowered absolutely crazy dedication and also hi lazymattman brought me here
Ok hear me out. Meat boy level maker with an alt glitch setting and tofu boy as a playable character. It would be insane to see what people would do with that.
i find it absolutely hysterical that tofu boy is such a bad character that he literally has to cheat and abuse glitches/exploits to get anything done
*insert joke about peta abusing animals here*
It’s just like getting all the vital nutrients as a vegan, now that you mention it.
“Ok I’m going to combine Andean squish beans that were discovered in 1920 with their rare ability to store folate and combine that with Trang nang sprouts from high in the Cambodian mountains and several other things that rely on international global commerce only even possible post 1970 and there you have it folks, I’m only losing about 20% of my b vitamins yearly.

unless you find a way to jump higher with tofu boy, all levels will always be impossible because of 5-10 and 5-13 at the very least (this is also the issue for all the other impossible levels)
Apparently tofu lets you teleport. Nobody tell PETA that they were right.
What an absolute madman, congratulations on beating veganism
Defeat all Vegans needs to be a game.
not gonna lie, a playable character that can let you play the game completely different from the normal gameplay is an ingenious idea I hope a platformer game can make this a possibility
most unlockable characters in this game are like that
Shovel Knight's extra campaigns are like that too, although the levels are different. Plague knight was very fun, completely different from Shovel Knight
Tails and Knuckles in early Sonic games.
Luigi in the New Super Luigi U mode in New Super Mario Bros U.
The Noise.
Wait I fr thought this was famous because of how amazing this vid is, keep up the great work
Edit: LETS GO THIS VID EXPLODED!! YOU DESERVE IT
love when people go back to old games like these and discover new stuff. Videogames are truly timeless :)
I love you fact that even with multiple glitches and tricks Tofu Boy still struggles to accomplish anything
That's some serious dedication you have. I watched the horse guys video a while back, like 3 days after it was made, and I thought it was hilarious. You found the one glitch he said we needed.
Wow!! I love the how you actually counted the beats of the music to make it across the gaps without looking. It doesn't even feel like a glitch/cheating, it just feels like you're playing an entirely new game, especially when you make use of ledges that would be entirely useless in a normal run of the game.
I like to think that the tofu boy in Super Meat Boy is the aftermath of the Tofu Boy game.
you know it's a good video when a new exploit is discovered mid run
would not have know any of this without you, even the tofu boy code! thanks and i love the videos!
I'm pretty excited that I watched him beat light 4-13 live in a stream today. He was working on the dark level 4-13 and during practice on the light version found a way to mid-air alt glitch into the bandaid area and then alt glitch from that middle platform into those locked key blocks in that tube on the right, which lead directly to bandaid girl. Normally, it seems the laser kills you if you pass through the beam, even when alt glitching. You just register as dead wherever you end up. For some reason in a very particular location / angle you can bypass the kill trigger. In the dark map this area has more spikes and is much harder to get into, so he couldn't reproduce the solution before the stream ended.
PETA: Am I a joke to you?
Edmund: *yes*
peta you little f
PETA: insults super meat boy
super meat boy: mocks PETA making a weak ass character inspired by PETA
gamers: "well that sounds like a challenge"
He's not just a weak-ass character, the devs literally just took the exact physics he had in the PETA game.
@@PriffyVioleThat is genius
@@PriffyVioleif that's actually true I can't imagine how hard the devs laughed realizing he couldn't beat level 1
@@PriffyViolewait, WHAT?
One of my favorite videos uploaded to this site in a VERY long time
LAZYY MATT MAN
what a surprisingly good video from such a small channel, that was very fun and informative to watch.
Can't wait for tofu% speedruns with any% completion
Tofuboy's real power is ignoring reality.
Man, that Mario 64 music makes me think about parallel universes. Very well done video, I don't even play SMB and I still found it very entertaining.
Goes to show that your veggies are just as important as your meats. Awesome video!
You deserve more than 30k views. Pretty good video and skill, even trying and beating "impossible" levels.
Vsauce reference? 1:18
Delightful reference
Or is it?
Tofu Boy is so weak he needs to break the fabric of reality to do everyone else can do, we just accidentally gave him his own character arc
Bro give this man more views and subs this video is so good
he can go through walls because he’s iron deficiency is so bad that he died and turned into a ghost
Damn, this is some solid production value for someone with less than 1k subs. Well done!
You made history, man! Congratz!
A game where Tofu Boy is basically Neo from The Matrix... hmmmmmmmmmm
Edit: yes he'd still be absurdly slow and sluggish. To balance that, you'd use "glitches" to walk through walls on the air, jump mid-air, etc. Combine that with hard as nails challenge levels that _take advantage of this_, and you have a potentially amazing original idea for another rage game platformer if you replace Tofu Boy with another character entirely.
Ah lost the heart thanks to edit, oops
@@qwertyzorovague here's your heart back ;)
@@gosugarage thanke
3:17 so this is how king crimson works
fantastic production quality!
Not going to say anything like "you deserve 100000 subscribers" though. Sub counts alone don't account for niche genres or communities.
However, I do think that you will have extreme amounts of growth if you can keep up this high level of quality and innovation!
Thanks for this entertaining video!
So the long and short of it is...
If you wanna beat Super Meat Boy with Tofu Boy, you gotta turn it from a puzzle platformer into a rhythm game.
This is insanely impressive. I hope this gets you some recognition because not only is this well edited, it's am awesome callback to the original video.
I can relate to your name
Nice PFP!
I love that you used some of the PS Vita / Console Meat Boy music, its a vibe to listen to while watching you strategize on each level. Even if not as good as the original music, the alternate Super Meat Boy soundtrack constantly goes unnoticed!
So what I'm getting from this is that all the joking about Tofu Boy being useless and weak is just a skill issue 😉
No
Tofu Boy with glitches actually turns it into a really interesting challenge
Congrats on the video blowing up!! Wow, looking at your other videos and seeing your most recent post blown out of the water is super cool! Wishing the best on your youtube endeavours :)
You found a new glitch!?
Dude, you get to name it!
Funny how well this video did am I right ?
Loved your content, and see that you're getting visibility it's great !
This is basically how King Crimson works
HELL YEAH :3 love this video,, super impressive plays, and you have a great exposition and editing!! also dont know if it was intentional but pannenkoek reference when you first explained the glitches x3
biblically accurate tofu boy
I love how he says alt glitching + jump glitching allowing you to jump in the air is "like Super Smash Brothers", as if double jumps in games never existed outside of those games.
Absolute mad man. Easily earned my subscription.
I find it funny that using the Alt Glitch technically makes Tofu Boy one of the fastest characters in the game.
I love when people do stuff like this. Thank you dude!
pretty entertaining vid! gotta thank the algorithm for recommending this.
Now, the question remains: Is beating these levels as Tofu Boy easier than getting an A+ on them legit?
Definitely depends on the level. Some levels are the same honestly. Like 1-2 or 1-14
Peta approved run. Who needs to run fast when you have the power of space time manipulation?
the funniest unintentional comedy in this video is when he raises his arms at 9:05 to reveal that his right arm is significantly more jacked than his left lmao
That is an absurd muscle imbalance that's crazy lmao
Tommy Tallarico's mom must be very proud of this one
I love the extreme pettiness of Tofu Boy's design. Like you pointed out, the game isn't explicitly pro-meat at all, PETA read all of that into it. So the response? Explicitly making an iron deficiency joke at the expense of the vegans because if PETA are gonna go low, the only response is to go lower.
Dude i've never tried meat boy in my entire life but this looks sick
this is so damn impressive, bravo! Great video :D
0:37 "Meat Boy isn't even meat, he's actually just a boy with no skin"... Where... Where do you think meat comes from? What do you think meat... is?
😂
Meat is muscle
McMillen responding to Peta’s game by making the tofu character have a debilitating iron deficiency is golden
As a vegetarian, I approve this message
there's something unfathomably badass about Tofuboy being so bad yet so overpowered
absolutely crazy dedication and also hi lazymattman brought me here
I love watching videos about breakthroughs in games
I love how I’ve never played this game in my life yet I’m still watching this video
Ok hear me out. Meat boy level maker with an alt glitch setting and tofu boy as a playable character. It would be insane to see what people would do with that.
