Where to Find All The Wastes Bandages in Super Meat Boy 3D

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 second world, The Wastes. 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 - Toxic Trouble Bandage

Toward the end of the Toxic Trouble level, players will jump over two rotating grinders. Above is a saw moving sideways. Once above the saw, the end of the level is in sight, but for the Bandage, players should turn left, the way they came, but jump up. By kicking against the wall, they should be able to reach the Bandage, which is high up and to the left.

Level 2 - Corroding Cubes Bandage

About halfway through the Toxic Trouble level, players will jump between two platforms with their own corroding cubes. The jump after these is rather large, but players should see the Bandage on the right, just beneath a grinder.

Level 3 - Poison Pitfall Bandage

After the huge fall fairly early on, players should come to their first corroding cube. There is then a jump onto a wall with a saw blade at the bottom. If players jump over the wall, they will find the Bandage.

Level 4 - Disintegrate Bandage

The Disintegrate level for Super Meat Boy 3D has multi-colored foam that disintegrates a second after being touched. Not too far in, players will pass through a second barrier made of the material. Upon doing so, they will land on a floor made out of it, and naturally, don't have long to bounce to the next location. However, near this floor, the Bandage can be found between two saws.

Level 5 - Trash Trouble Bandage

Fairly soon into the level, players will land on some disintegrating garbage between two grinders. Stay put here until the floor disintegrates, as a Bandage is waiting beneath.

Level 6 - Upwind Bandage

On the home stretch of the Upwind level, players will use wind to climb up, but with two grinders directly above, meaning they must bounce off the wall to the left. Upon landing, the Bandage is directly below in the middle of a large metal frame structure.

Level 7 - Slime Fan Bandage

Wait until the third platform of disintegrating garbage around halfway through the Slime Fan level. Underneath it is a metal platform with the Bandage, as well as some grinders to dodge.

Level 8 - Pipe Plunge Bandage

After the initial plunge down, players will run to the right with some spiked balls chasing them from the left. The wall should be scaled to go above them, and then, at the end of this tunnel, players will find the Bandage. It is to the left of a wind surge, and more spiked balls will come from the left, so don't linger too long.

Level 9 - Terror Tower Bandage

Right at the start, players are expected to jump onto the left side of the large tower. However, to get the Bandage, you'll need to jump around the corner to the front side, where there is an entrance near the bottom. After picking up the Bandage, players will need to jump back up the wall of the tower, back to where they were supposed to go.

Skeleton Boy is arguably best for the big initial jump and glide to get the Bandage of Terror Tower, with how light he is.

Level 10 - Crushed Meat Bandage

The Crushed Meat level Bandage is fairly easy to see. Partway through, players will pass through a row of three meat-crushing lids. Upon jumping down to the next platform, the Bandage can be seen lower down to the left. The wall can be used to climb back up after retrieving it.

Level 11 - Olha's Nightmare Bandage

Near the end of the Olha's Nightmare level, players will need to run along a wall before the meat crushers get them. On top of this row is mostly barbed wire, but there's also a raised platform with the Bandage on. Jump up the wall and dodge the barbed wire to get it.

Level 12 - Conveyor Panic Bandage

After crashing through the first purple barrier early on and climbing up to a higher level, players will usually carry on running to the right. However, to the left and further back, there's another platform. The Bandage is at the end, but players must go under one grinder and over the other. With characters who can't jump high, try jumping around this obstacle.

Level 13 - Patorra Tower 4 Bandage

Toward the end of Patorra Tower 4, players will have to jump between a few walls to get onto a vertical conveyor belt. This will make them fly up, missing a section of the tower where a green slime creature is walking back and forth. Along its path is the Bandage, so players must time it right to avoid the creature.

The easiest way to get this tricky Bandage is to land in front of the creature and then make a small jump around it, once to get the Bandage, and then again to get back. Don't try to walk past it as its hitbox is too wide.

Level 14 - Trash Metal Bandage

Fairly early on in the Trash Metal level, players will crash through a purple barrier. However, beneath this barrier are two grinders with a gap between them. Jump through this gap to reach the Bandage. You can then climb the wall to the left to get out and back to the rest of the level.

Level 15 - Garbage Panorama Bandage

The last Bandage of The Wastes for Super Meat Boy 3D is collected as part of a huge jump. This jump bridges a wide gap and leads down to a conveyor belt. It's best to dash after catching the Bandage to get back on a trajectory for the conveyor belt. Skeleton Boy is useful for this jump because of how maneuverable he is in the air. He is also great for achieving A+ ratings in Super Meat Boy 3D​​​​​​.
