I have few propositions about new achievements, which could motivate people to do more crazy things in SMB:

1) 'Are you KIDding me?' - finish The Kid warpzone with 0 deaths :P
2) 'Nooby Boy' - finish light Cotton Alley with 5 deaths or less (it should motivete people who can't make girl boy, me for example :)
3) 'Possible Boy' - finish dark Cotton Alley with 5 deaths or less
4) 'Warp Boy' - finish all 'standard' warpzones with 0 deaths (standard = these without custom characters)

Other ideas?

1) FUCK. NO.
2+3)  Seem kinda unnecessary.
4) I can dig it.  It would be nice if they made a warp zone select screen for this though.

As for my 'chievements, nothing concrete, but we need some character exclusive ones.  Beat ___ levels as ____.  Beat zones without dying as characters etc.

I think it would be neat if they made achievments for bosses. Just stuff like:

1. Home Run! :Defeat Lil' Slugger without stopping once.
2. Moping up : Defeat C.H.A.D without letting more that 60 tiles get covered in meat juice/blood
3. The Tortise and the Hare : Get to the end of the race with Brownie, but without him on the screen when you finish.
4. Left Footed : Defeat Little Horn without setting foot on the right side of the battlefield
5. Long Goodbyes : Defeat each Larry with a 30 second delay between kills.
6. Home Free : Escape the Floating Island in less than 120 seconds.

This, but I would add:
Casual Stroll: Defeat Lil' Slugger without ever running

I like all of those a lot.

[Patashu]

I'd love achievements related to doing things without run.

Haha, I actually did beat Lil' Slugger without running once.  But I like all these.  Couple more:

-"Come Play With Me"  Keep a demon in the air for 30 seconds.
-"Sexy Party"  Survive a level while having 3 demons in the air chasing you at once.
-"You Went Full Retard Man"  Spend 3 hours in the Cotton Alley Dark World after losing 1000 lives.
-"You Could Fuck Up A Wet Dream"  Die more than 300 times in the Forest.
-"Like a Kiebler Elf Who Lost All His Cookies"  Abruptly quit out of 20 levels or more.

I don't think any achievement should be related to, you know, not achieving anything.

I'd be funny though, I don't really care about achievements one way or another.  But I'd say a secret achievement for dying 300 times in the Forest is an "achievement"...is it even possible without trying?

[Maruhai]

Warp Boy is actually my favorite of all for now.

Glitched Boy: Do the 5 Glitch level in a row without dying once.
Master Boy: Do all the bosses in a row without dying once. (Except maybe Dr Fetus dark world)
2Meat Boy: Unlock Goo Ball.
Toilet Boy: Unlock Brownie.

[MegaMew]

Snail Boy: Beat the Forest without running
Drip Boy: Beat The Hospital without running
Low Sodium Boy: Beat The Salt Factory without running
Torture Boy: Beat Hell without running
Broken Boy: Beat The Rapture without running
Tired Boy: Beat The End without running
Deaf Boy: Ask Team Meat why SMB can't happen on the PS3
Fanboy Boy: Play Meat Boy for over 100 hours

Note: I'm pretty sure you can only do world 1,2 and maybe 3 in this list.

-"You Went Full Retard Man"  Spend 3 hours in the Cotton Alley Dark World after losing 1000 lives.
-"You Could Fuck Up A Wet Dream"  Die more than 300 times in the Forest.
-"Like a Kiebler Elf Who Lost All His Cookies"  Abruptly quit out of 20 levels or more.

It's achievements like these that make getting achievements not fun.

- Grind achievements are not fun (i.e. do something 50 times)
- Easy achievements are not fun (i.e. beat the first level)
- Go-out-of-your-way-to-do-something-that-isn't-difficult achievements are not fun (i.e. die 300 times in the forest)

Super Meat Boy is one of the only games in existence that got achievements right. Let's not ruin it by adding more that suck just for the sake of adding more.

Some of the other suggestions aren't bad, but aren't necessary either. I say keep them the way they are.

i do not think we need new achievements for content we already have but new achievements for the level editor and would be very nice

I'm not a big fan of achievements, but I'd say what I listed is just as credible as a genuinely hard achievement.  There doesn't need to be achievement discrimination.  Personally, I'd bring a smile to my face to see an achievement pop up insulting me for dying too much, or slap me in the face for rage quitting.  It's rarely been done before.

But fair enough, I also say keep the achievements as is.
