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 third world, The Forge. 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 - Cut Cut Cut Bandage
On the Cut Cut Cut level, the Bandage can be seen almost straight away. After the first conveyor belt, jumps, and then a wall to launch off, players will want to land on a wooden block being sawed. The Bandage is simply on the other side of the saw blade.
Level 2 - Chop Chop Chop Bandage
After climbing up the huge vertical wall by jumping from safe parts, players can stand atop it safely. Look up and to the right, and the Bandage can be seen floating in front of a blue screen. It's fairly easy to get, and the end of the Chop Chop Chop level is in sight.
Level 3 - Burn Burn Burn Bandage
The Bandage for Burn Burn Burn in Super Meat 3D is found right at the end. It is underneath the finish and easy to see and get to. However, the difficulty lies in climbing back up to complete the level and thus properly unlock the Bandage. To do so, kick off the wall and jump away from the tower. Then dash back to the tower and jump up the ledge onto the finishing platform.
Skeleton Boy is best for this level, with how lightweight he is. Many walls can be skipped due to how far he floats between them.
Level 4 - Stamina Melt Bandage
On this level, there is a large wall halfway through with vertical lasers that turn on and off periodically. The Bandage is fairly high up on this wall, and with all the lasers, players will need to time it well.
Level 5 - Hot Blocks Bandage
After the first vertical conveyor belt of the Hot Blocks level, players can safely stand on a platform. Instead of immediately heading to the next vertical conveyor belt on the right, look to the left for the Bandage.
To get past the lasers the first time, follow a row of cubes on the normal conveyor belt. To get back with the Bandage, use the wall to jump over the lasers.
Level 6 - Dilan's Nightmare Bandage
Partway through Dilan's Nightmare, players will land on a single platform, although they can't linger here, with a robot firing deadly missiles at them.
Ahead is a conveyor belt and a large blue screen. This blue screen is to the left of some lasers that only disappear as the molten cubes pass through them. Use a cube as a cover to travel left through this row of lasers. Then kick off from the big blue screen to reach a Bandage in front of it and jump back over the lasers to finish the level.
Level 7 - Security Showdown Bandage
The Bandage is easy to get right at the start of Security Showdown, but it's easy to miss. It is hiding beneath the first jump of the level before players land on the red button.
One way to find Bandages in Super Meat Boy 3D is to complete the level normally and then watch the replay. It's easier to look when you're not busy dodging.
Level 8 - Questionable Working Conditions Bandage
For the Questionable Working Conditions Bandage, it's visible low down on a wall when the end of the level is in sight. After climbing the laser wall, there is a section on the right where players can stand perfectly still on a platform. From here, the Bandage can be seen clearly on the bottom right of the screen. Be careful, as there is a grinder at the bottom of the wall where the Bandage is located.

Level 9 - Liquid Metal Bandage
The Liquid Metal Bandage is found right at the end. From the finishing platform, but without triggering the end, jump across the gap to another long metal platform. From here, the Bandage can be seen on the far right at the top of a grey wall.
Players will have to wait for the lava to stop flowing in front of them and make a huge jump to the wall where the Bandage is. As lava will start flowing up this wall too, there's even more dodging to do, and players must also make it back to finish the level. Ed and Skeleton Boy are good characters for this large jump. These characters are also great for achieving A+ ratings in Super Meat Boy 3D.
Level 10 - Pain Production Bandage
The Bandage on the Pain Production level can be seen about the same time the music goes all weird, denoting a nearby secret level. There will be a large grinder to the right, but in the background, the Bandage is waiting in front of a wall. This is the correct way to go, so it should be an easy Bandage to get.
Level 11 - Cool Down, Man Bandage
On the Cool Down, Man level for Super Meat Boy 3D, the Bandage is found easily straight away. After the initial jump and the first saw blade to dodge, there is a raised platform on the right that can be accessed with a wall jump from the left. The Bandage is a bit higher and more to the right of this platform, but initially hidden behind a molten cube that will be lowered once players reach this position.
Level 12 - Test Chamber Bandage
Towards the end of the Test Chamber level, players can jump down onto a green conveyor belt. From here, it's possible to jump toward a wall on the right where the Bandage is. There are some flying saw blades on this wall, however, so watch out.
Level 13 - Spike Hall Bandage
The Bandage for the Spike Hall level is beneath the finishing platform, so players will need to jump down onto the ledge that juts out. While this part is easy, getting back is not so much. One tip is to use Nate, who can perform a double jump. But characters with big jumps, such as Ed, may also work.

Level 14 - Agony Ascend Bandage
For the Agony Ascend level, the Bandage can be found on a wall to the left with long grinders above and below. Normally, players will go for a route above this wall, so they will have to drop to get it. It's fairly hard to jump up after getting the Bandage, so instead, try to jump back to where you came from, or drop down a level.
Level 15 - Who Built This? Bandage
Early on in the Who Built This? level, players will reach a section where they must jump over a moving laser. The Bandage can be seen far down, meaning players must drop to it and climb back up.
