Super Meat Boy 3D Adds Jack Pepper in Free MOUSE: P.I. Crossover

The update’s technical upgrades and guest character show how indie teams use crossovers to raise player interest.

Overview

  • Publisher Headup and developer Sluggerfly released the free update Monday that adds Jack Pepper from Fumi Games’ MOUSE: P.I. for Hire as a playable character.
  • The patch introduces NVIDIA DLSS and AMD FSR, which are upscaling technologies that improve frame rates and visual quality on supported hardware.
  • The update is live across PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, Switch 2, and PC storefronts including Steam, Epic, GOG, and the Microsoft Store.
  • Fumi Games CEO Mateusz Michalak praised the pairing and Sluggerfly art director Dominik Plassmann said the team worked to translate MOUSE’s black‑and‑white noir look into Super Meat Boy 3D.
  • A collaboration trailer has been published to promote the drop and the free crossover could drive renewed player engagement while serving as cross‑promotion for both indie titles.
