Fetus' Castle", the Dark World theme for The Rapture, is an epic, hardcore techno track.
The music for The Rapture, with its heavy drumming and mix of electric guitar and orchestra, is guaranteed to give you chills. "Meat Golem", the music for the Little Horn battle, is tied with "Hot Damned" for how downright intense it is. The theme for Hell, "Hot Damned", is another fan favorite, and is probably the most hardcore track in the game, with its metal influences, its heavy bassline, and even an ominous choir. Brownie's theme, "Fast Track to Browntown" is a very lively and fast-paced techno track, befitting what the boss battle is. The ambient, industrial-sounding theme for the Salt Factory, "Can'o Salt", as well as its Dark World theme. The Dark World version does not disappoint either. "Betus Blues" is the track for the Hospital, and is very Halloween-esque, matching the stages Big Boo's Haunt theme. "The Battle of Lil' Slugger" is a fan favorite, with its very fast-paced, action-packed tone, its hard rock influences, its borrowed aspects from "Forest Funk", and even a guitar solo. The sinster-sounding, electric guitar-heavy "Ballad of the Burning Squirrel" starts off the Dark World chapters. What better way to kick-start a game like this than with the groovy, action-packed "Forest Funk" ? The fast-paced electronica riffs help get you off your feet to save the girl, while the heavy use of chime-like instrumentals gives it a dark and frantic tone befitting for the dire situation Meat Boy is in. 
"Boy Meats Girl" is a rather calming acoustic guitar song that plays just before the title screen, where it tells you your objective to save Bandage Girl from Dr.
SUPERRRR MEAT BOY! One interesting thing about this song is it's written (and played) in 7/4 time, not the usual 8/4, which is a bit jarring for musicians. It only makes sense to start with the title screen music, which gets you pumped up for the game, with hard rock playing along with the famous Title Scream.The result is an outstanding collage of electronic, metal, orchestra, and old school video game music, and each song fits each world marvelously. DannyB was aiming for a sort of '90s chiptuney music, mixed with modern music technology. Super Meat Boy has a truly iconic, catchy soundtrack like many indie games. One of the things that made Super Meat Boy such a memorable video game was its original soundtrack.
