The Celeste 2021 Winter Collab contains examples of the following tropes:
- All the Worlds Are a Stage: The Winter Fusionside, the very last level, incorporates all the other maps' gimmicks.
- Game-Breaking Bug: The mod's description on GameBanana comes with a warning not to use Debug mode to traverse the in-game lobby, as this "will result in it potentially breaking."
- Hailfire Peaks: Seven of the maps are "fusion" levels that combine two of the previous 14 maps into one challenge.
- Idiosyncratic Difficulty Levels: The levels' relative difficulties are portrayed with a thermometer. The easiest levels have a nearly full thermometer colored in light blue, with the temperature progressively dropping to green, yellow, and then red. The absolute hardest maps of the mod have nearly empty thermometers that are purple and frozen over.
- Nintendo Hard: Invoked by the developers of the mod, who have stated that even the easiest maps of the Winter Collab are considered "Expert difficulty" by The 2020 Celeste Spring Community Collab's standards.
