History YMMV / Celeste

** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iDVM9KED46Q "Reach for the Summit"]] is a very exciting and hopeful track.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b_oEDGONSc4 "Confronting Myself"]] is a very epic track that uses vocals very well.

* FunnyMoments:
** Theo calls Badeline an "adorable goth" version of her.
** Theo, twice, subverting SpeakingSimlish with a clearly-audible "Yolooooooooo!"

* ThatOneLevel: The end of Chapter 2 has sections where Badeline clones chase you through water walls as you try to collect objects to power platforms and open escape routes. Touching the clones instantly kills you, and they copy your movements, making backtracking extremely difficult since spikes are also around.

* FunnyMoments: Theo calls Badeline an "adorable goth" version of her.

* MostWonderfulSound: That ''immensely'' satisfying chord that plays when you get a Crystal Heart.
* TearJerker: The music that plays during the latter portion of Chapter 5 has seemingly unintelligible speaking. As it turns out, when the audio is reversed, [[https://youtu.be/rE8diav5I1k it becomes coherent.]] It’s Madeline talking about her depression, and what she says is utterly despairing. It’s best to let the quote speak for itself:
-->Sometimes, I don’t really know what’s going on anymore. I don’t know who I am. I just look in the mirror, and don’t know who I’m looking at. Or who’s looking at me. I think a lot about where my train of thought is going. And it’s not always a good place. And that scares me. I don’t like scaring myself. I don’t... *sobbing*

* ThatOneLevel: Chapter 2 has many sections where Badeline clones chase you through water walls as you try to collect objects to power platforms, and the game only gets harder from then on.

* IAmNotShazam: The PlayerCharacter is not Celeste; her name is Madeline. Celeste is the name of the mountain Madeline climbs.

* FridgeBrilliance: It might seem odd that Badeline is never referred to by name in the game itself, but there’s actually a good reason for this: The player can change Madeline’s name. If Madeline has a different name, then the name Badeline just wouldn’t make as much sense.

* IAmNotShazam: The PlayerCharacter is not Celeste; her name is Madeline. Celeste is the name of the mountain Madeline climbs.
* NightmareFuel:
** [[EnemyWithout Badeline]]. In the chapter she's introduced in, she follows your movements and kills you if she manages to touch you. In the following chapter, [[spoiler:she breaks out of a mirror and trash talks the ghost of Mr. Oshiro until he finally snaps ''hard'' and turns into a menacing entity who [[AdvancingBossOfDoom chases you across the hotel roof]]]].
** The third chapter is full of these inexplicable {{red and black|AndEvilAllOver}}...''blobs'' that are lethal on contact. [[spoiler: Later in the chapter, it’s revealed that they’re living manifestations of Mr. Oshiro’s anxiety, when he becomes particularly worried about what Madeline will think of her stay and they shoot out of his head in droves.]]
** Chapter 4 seems pretty routine enough, but at the end, [[spoiler:when Madeline and Theo are riding the gondola, Badeline sabotages it in a JumpScare and Madeline goes into a panic attack, represented by an ever-encroaching miasma in the background. Theo has to help her get back to her senses.]]
** Chapter 6 seems like it's off to a happy start, with [[spoiler:Theo and Madeline having a long heart-to-heart campfire chat and then Madeline flying high above the ground with the help of golden feathers, witnessing the ''aurora borealis'' and coming face to face with Badline. She happily tells Badeline that she's going to abandon her, that she's not needed anymore; surely this can't go wrong, right? '''Wrong.''' Badeline ''completely'' loses her shit and has an appendage from the bottom of the screen hold Madeline hostage, while trying to use Madeline's very weaknesses and insecurities in a hell of a BreakingSpeech. Madeline tries to use the feather trick from two chapters ago to calm herself down...but Badeline makes a mockery of this technique, slices the feather in half, and sends Madeline flying a looooooooong way down into the mountain depths, where the chapter proper starts.]]
