Super Meat World now orbiting Steam
24
If you own the Steam version of Super Meat Boy, you're about to be in a user-generated world of pain. According to die-hard developer Team Meat, the free "Super Meat World" level portal is open and serving eight custom-made chapters (comprising about 140 levels) from various players and developers. The entrance will be to the left of Chapter 1 on the menu and will open once you've collected at least 20 bandages.
The next step -- due "in a few days" -- will be a wide release of the Super Meat Boy level editor, initially in the form of a public beta. "The editor will allow people to basically create anything they have seen in game and upload it to Super Meat World with the click of a button," said Edmund McMillen via email. "Users will also eventually gain the ability to create full chapters that can be uploaded and rated by other users."
Here's the best part: Once the editor is deemed "stable," Team Meat will enable "The Unknown," a free feature that automatically stitches user-created levels into an unpredictable, sadistic gauntlet of meat-mincing grinders. Do try to curb that public display of excitement (your Stockholm syndrome is showing).

@Rob Liv That's actually the message you get when you enter Super Meat World.
And yeah, right now, Meat World is just the DLC from the 360 version and a little more. Can't wait for the actual level editor to roll out, though.

@PointlessPuppies It doesn't, but 4za is going to be so mind-blowingly incredible that I don't even care.

So how am I supposed to get 20 bandages?

@zack11190 20 isn't that hard. 100, on the other hand...

Then again, if you're good enough to unlock characters, you're probably good enough to get bandages.

Get the Kid. You'll be so good at the game after getting him, you'll be able to get 60 bandages in no time.

I really hope they add in keyboard or controller navigation to SMW. Right now it's with the mouse, problem is you can't see your mouse unless running in windowed mode. Makes it kind of hard to navigate around...
