How many characters are playable in Super Meat Boy PC Steam version and how to unlock them?

Best Answer

There are 19 for Steam on Windows/Mac OS (15(?) for XBox Live Arcade, different exclusives).

The Wikipedia page has a list of which characters are available on which platforms, and their origin.

To quote:

These characters can be unlocked by collecting enough bandages or completing certain warp zones.

There is a fairly solid list of how to get pretty much everything here.
