Bandages are the main collectible items in Super Meat Boy 3D and are used to obtain brand-new characters. This guide will walk players through collecting all 15 Bandages for the platformer's fourth world, The Core. There is 1 Bandage per level in Super Meat Boy 3D, but importantly, players must complete the level after picking up the Bandage to fully unlock it. With how difficult the game can get, this will likely mean more attempts than usual, especially for hard-to-find Bandages.

Bandages are often out of sight in Super Meat Boy 3D, so look for other places to jump to off-camera, and particularly look for other hazards, as they could be blocking a Bandage or a secret route.

Level 1 - Vermis Veins Bandage

When players reach the section of Vermis Veins where the grubs are going from left to right and up, the Bandage is nearby. It is in a little alcove with grinders beneath, and the main difficulty is dodging the large grubs.

Level 2 - Coreborn Cavern Bandage

After some long air jumps off blue walls, players will fly between two sets of grinders onto a stone platform. However, there is another platform beneath this that players can aim for with their initial jump. The Bandage is here. From this point, the finish isn't far off.

Level 3 - Ruinous Tunnel Bandage

For the Ruinous Tunnel level, the Bandage is available right after the first vertical climb. It can be seen on the right by a yellow, stained glass window. However, there are moving spike balls to dodge and grinders beneath. To carry on with the level, players must make their way back to the left.

Level 4 - Runeforge Abyss Bandage

There is a part on the Runeforge Abyss level where players must fly between two grinders. Beneath this, the Bandage can be found. There are spike balls moving up and down above the Bandage, so watch out for these. Nate is particularly useful for this part of the level, thanks to his double jump.

Level 5 - Sinew Spans Bandage

Near the end, players will reach a section where there's a launcher going up, a wall to the left to bounce off, and moving platforms to aim for. The moving platforms lead to the end of the mission, but also from here, players can jump backwards and to the right to find the Bandage high up against a wall on the right.

Level 6 - Wormscalation Bandage

Partway through the Wormscaltion level, players will come to two platforms moving sideways while grubs go forward and back. The Bandage is on a wall on the right.

Level 7 - Magma Wastes Bandage

The Bandage for Magma Wastes can be seen almost right away. The first set of obstacles is blocks flipping one way and another. To the right of this large platform, the Bandage is on the other side of a column.

Level 8 - Frogs Bandage

The Frogs Bandage in Super Meat Boy 3D is hidden toward the end. Instead of climbing a tower of grinders, there is a tower to the left with a yellow, stained glass window that can be smashed. The Bandage waits inside this tower. Nate makes this level easier, as he does with many levels from the difficult platformer.

Level 9 - Lava Torment Bandage

After smashing through the yellow, stained glass window on Lava Torment, the Bandage is not far away. It is inside a small alcove on the left while dodging rolling spikes, but with the lava rising, players won't have long to grab it and run. Thankfully, the end isn't far off, and it's even possible to get an A+ with a fast character, such as Ed.

Level 10 - Glass Shards Bandage

The Bandage of Glass Shards is found at the bottom of the first jump, where players smash through glass. After smashing through, turn back left and leap over the gap and a grinder to a small tunnel where the bandage is waiting. It's even possible to fly in here directly from the initial fall instead of going through the glass.

Level 11 - Donut Of Destruction Bandage

Before players smash through the yellow, stained glass to get to the end, there's a blue platform on the right where the Bandage can be picked up. However, this means more pink donuts to dodge.

Level 12 - Burn Voyage Bandage

After coming out of one of the last portals, players will drop down onto a platform with grinders on either side. There is a wall to the right to continue the level, but further to the right, there is a black launch pad. Jump on this, and the Bandage is above with a small wall to bounce off and get back.

Level 13 - Snakes On A Portal Bandage

The second time players have to climb a vertical wall, the aim is to go through a portal on the left. However, over this wall and to the right is another section where the Bandage can be found. Jumping over this wall and getting back is easier with Nate.

Level 14 - Wormhole Mayhem Bandage

There is a section of the Wormhole Mayhem level where players must climb up the inside of a vertical tower. The Bandage is to the left of the tower and must be claimed first before scaling it. This is fairly hard with all the ghost worms flying at you. Skeleton Boy is recommended for this level as he's so light and fast that he can get away from the worms.

This is easily one of the hardest Bandages in all of Super Meat Boy 3D​​​.

Level 15 - Wormageddon Bandage

After climbing up the large inner part of the tower, players will dash across and between a series of grinders. High above two of the grinders is the Bandage for the Wormageddon level. Claiming and keeping the Bandage are difficult with the flying ghost worms, and players will want to use a wall to the right to jump off.

Players can hide under the right grinder to plan their attack, as the worm that spawns from the right will always crash when the player is hiding there. Once again, Skeleton Boy is recommended for this level, and Ed is another good choice. They are also great for achieving A+ ratings in Super Meat Boy 3D.
