3-3: The Grinder

Guide for 3-3: The Grinder in Super Meat Boy. Master wall jumps on sticky salt blocks amidst buzzsaws.

The Grinder is a vertical ascent level heavily featuring salt blocks and buzzsaws. The challenge here is performing accurate wall jumps while your movement is hampered by the sticky salt. You'll often need to jump off a salt-covered wall, quickly adjust your trajectory, and land on another small salt platform before performing another wall jump. The reduced slide speed on salt walls can be both a blessing and a curse; it allows for more controlled descents but makes quick ascents harder. Look for non-salt surfaces to gain momentum whenever possible. The bandage is usually in a tricky spot, requiring a series of perfectly timed, short wall jumps between salt-covered surfaces.
