The developers wanted to release the game for Nintendo WiiWare, however due to Nintendo's 40 megabyte cap for WiiWare titles, they weren't able to reduce the game's size to fit. Content which would've had to be reduced was the music, to achieve the intended file size, however, the developers felt the tracks should be kept as they helped to provide an impact to the game.
The developers instead tried to find a publisher who would release a retail Wii version of the game, but the three biggest publishers said, "there's no money in third-party retail (on the Wii)".

In the PC and Mac versions of Super Meat Boy, if you type "petaphile" on the character selection screen of a level, you will be able to play as Tofu Boy. Tofu Boy can not run and can only barely jump, making him the worst character in the game. Tofu Boy is a joke, referencing PETA's Flash game parody of Super Meat Boy.
