Celeste's Hidden Tutorial
Вставка
- Опубліковано 17 лип 2024
- Celeste isn’t an easy game. Lucky there are things that make it easier. There’s obvious stuff like the assist mode. Then there’s less obvious things like coyote time. And if you look deep enough, there’s a subtle, practically hidden part of Celeste, that makes the whole game a little easier. I could call it a lot of different things but, it boils down to a hidden tutorial. Hidden in plain sight. And it’s not like those other, invisible tutorials, where the game puts you an a new situation with a clean solution. No. Celeste’s hidden tutorial is a bit more complicated than that. So in this video, I'll explain how this tutorial teaches you to use different objects, with similarities.

I misinterpreted wormwood at first due to badeline, and thought it turned to sludge after a second or 2, and thus was rushing through the levels thinking I had limited time
lol same. i think i was comparing it to badeline
@@Daisyisnotaflower ummmmk
So you're saying badeline is a bad tutorial
@@nahometesfay1112 more that celestial resort was not the best way to follow up the badeline section. But I absolutely loved that section, so I say its more on the Celestial resort
Yea, there needed to be a puzzle where you had to wait on it. Like, jump on a (blue) key and wait for a spiked wall to slide out of the way. Easy but, it makes sure you understand how it actually works before letting you continue.
I just realized the oshiro boss fight prepares you for the snowballs which both of those together prepares you for the seekers
they all have the jump on it and regain dash mechanic, the oshiro boss has the dash, the snowballs let you practice the jumping off them, and when you see the seeker dash in chapter 5 you know somewhat how to avoid it
edit: or maybe the snowballs prepare you for the jumps you have to do off the slow moving ice things all throughout chapter 8
interacting with the snowballs and oshiro is optional so its a lot less well done than the other ones
@@an_annoying_catjumping off oshiro becomes mandatory on the C side (and maybe the B side I don’t remember)
@@rioriorio17 only the c side, though thats too little too late
@@an_annoying_cat yeah
Oshiro is connected to snowballs.
now you understand!
And the eye monsters in mirror te.ple
And both teach you how to avoid Badeline's lasers in Reflection.
and tangentially those core iceballs
6:45 what do mean that jellyfish dont have a connection with anything? they work identically to theo in chapter 5, just with floaty physics
Yeah I think you’re right! The whole grabbing an object and needing to toss it around. Never thought of that. Good catch.
@Bialy Theo is helpful in the emotional department
@Bialy Theo activates buttons, key coins, gives you wild movement options, and is a shield against seekers, he's already helpful >:(
/hj
Also that floaty movement is like the upwards facing wind in the summit!
@@justarandomdood jelly boi does all of that but better
This has to be a second channel. This is 875K sub quality. Dude, you’re a chad.
Well thanks!
oddly specific number
@@falpsdsqglthnsac But extremely accurate for some reason.
Chad....
Another thing that i’ve noticed is that snowballs and Oshiro are teach you about the mechanics of ice-fireballs in core (also the bouncers are exactly the same)
Uh you're reaching so much. The only similarity they have is the super mario bounce. Thats it
@@pirilon78They recharge your dash though, like a bubble or a bumper(or how did tou call this circle pushing things again?), or a fireice thingy
Clouds are connected to the zipper/dash blocks too by having a specific time that when you jump it boosts you.
and u know the lava blocks in core? thats like the cloud and bumper together
Panga, a SMM2 and Kaizo Mario legend, has talked about the "formula" for SMM levels recently: introduce a gimmick, teach the player the basics, and then make them learn new techniques with the gimmick. It's similar to zippers in 1A and Dash Activated Blocks in 5A: Introduce objects that give Madeline momentum, then mix it up a bit. The formula is very useful and makes for incredibly fun levels to play and watch :)
did not expect a panga reference here
I'm rooting for this video to be picked up by the Gods of UA-cam algorithm.
Be grateful, for they answered.
Another example I love is how the Theo Crystal kind of teaches you how to use the jelly in Farewell, you have to carry both of them, throw both of them in similar ways to move, you can dash into both of them. Someone else did talk about this in the comments, but I thought I'd give my take anyways. Great video!
I always liked this type of 'leveling tutorial' (at least, thats what I'm calling it) where it never *outright* tells you 2 things work alike, instead they give you something easy to learn, then add a little something to make it harder, then when you get used to that, do it again and again without you ever realizing it. It kinda feels like the scene in dragon ball with goku taking off the weighted clothes, where you don't realize how far you've gotten until you get there. At first, you struggle with the traffic light blocks, then you immediately understand how the dash blocks work, then next thing you know you're a master. Always liked that type of intentionally gradual growth.
Feels weird seeing them use the devs dead name but I guess she wasn't fully out at the time
The snowballs may actually be a tutorial for another game. There's a Pico 8 cartridge of the original Celeste, and also a Pico 8 for a 'Celeste 2' where the main mechanic is a grappling hook that lets you pull yourself forward. A segment of the game similar to the Golden Ridge has you using the grapple to grab snowballs, then throw them and bounce on them to reach the end of certain screens.
i’m pretty sure 2 is also an original game from a different game jam
i think the snowballs are connected to mr oshiro. they both come from the edge of the screen, and you can jump off both of them. plus, mr oshiro is connected with the mirror dimention monsters
The “mirror dimension monsters” are called “seekers”, for your information.
Wow, i not expected THAT from 15 subs youtuber, amazing work!
Glad you enjoyed it! ^^
I noticed most of this stuff playing through the game the first time. It’s something that seems obvious at first, like of course the later mechanics are going to build off of easier to understand older mechanics, but the more you think about it, actually putting those mechanics into an actual game and having the difficulty curve flow as you gain knowledge and understanding is something I tip my metaphorical hat to.
Yeah it's a kinda of silly idea, but it's sorta cool too. Glad you liked it!
this is that "its obvious it should be done" type thing, not an obvious "does it itself thing". These types of things usually take a lot more time to do than the non-obvious but fun mechanics that come out of nowhere. It was probably easier to think of the traffic block than the dash block just because a new idea is easier than a better/harder iteration while keeping the original idea fun. Mad props to Maddie for doing it so well!
dashing out of red bubbles teaches you about dashing out of badeline and the bird in farewell
6:55 i think dream blocks are still a part of this in a way in bsides csides and farewell. The game teaches you how the dream blocks work in chapter 2 but then in bsides (and others) the game expands upon this by teaching you about jumping out of them for extra height and about the ability to grab on to one right after coming out of it. It’s much easier to understand this because you already know the fundamentals of the dream blocks just like the other object connections. Even though it’s the same object it is very much the same idea imo
I like the way you're thinking
the dream blocks also feel like an extension of the dash to me
and then mods teach you dreamhypers, ultras (which are just chained hypers), supers, neutrals, etc.
I would connect the jellyfish with walls and platforms. It works with momentum very similarly to how jumping, landing and climbing work. For example you dash and grab it to move up more, kind of like dashing and jumping next to a wall, which is taught in the summit.
Killer Snowballs work exactly like Killer Oshiro though, so it’s still kind of connected
I just looked down to see this channel only has 130 subs and I'm actually annoyed at how low this is, there are channels with thousands of subs that put in less effort than this. This is spectacular quality and the kind of thing I would expect from a channel with 800k subs. This has inspired me.
Thanks for the kind words.
This is kind of a massive stretch, but the green bubble COULD help the player be better at using the red bubble.
I'd argue you can definitely make a connection between the dream blocks and the red bubbles in that your dash is restored once you exit, allowing you to reach certain spots and/or avoid obstacles at the end of their path
It’s really cool to see the hidden design of such a great game, nice video!
6:51 Are you kidding me? The snowballs and Oshiro are super connected. Both are round objects that fly horizontally at you (or rather the place you were a second ago) to kill, but if you jump on top of them you get your dash back. They also happen at regular intervals Pretty much the only differences are the side of the screen they come from, and the telegraphing
man if i watched this without seeing how many subs you had, i would've thought this was made by a 500k subs channel, you're really underrated
Theo is the tutorial for jelly fish. You carry both, but the jelly fish give you what you need to plane.
Those pieces of “sludge” are called dust bunnies. Yes really.
Snowballs are actually connected to the oshiro boss fight because they always appear directly in front of you every 2-3 seconds just like oshiro flies in your direction from behind.
the snowballs (ch 4) are probably connected to oshiro's battle form (ch 3)
hell yaaas creo music is so cool @_@ nice of you to use it :)
And super vid as well :D
in my head,the snoballs work off oshiro, which is then explored further by the seekers from chapter 5.
and dream block work similarly to kevinblocks as platforms you have to dash into to interact.
in the case of snowballs, the progression goes clearly telegraphed and chasing you in the same direction you are going, making bonking it easy, to harder to predict ones coming againsg you, making the timing harder, to freely moving obstacles that chase you
and for dreamblocks it goes from platform you have dash into to go the same way you dashed, that you can platform around like a normal block to get your bearings before dashing, to a platform you dash into to go the opposite way, that you then HAVE to platform around once you dash to use.
Dream blocks are connected back to dash crystals, the way they can be chained together and each returns your dash. Dream blocks connect forward to feathers, being a form of extended faster movement. Dream blocks restrict you to straight lines in specific zones, where the feather only gives you a timer.
Dream blocks in the B-side are also where dream jumps are introduced, which connect back to how momentum works in zippers and dash blocks, and connect forward to the way you can take momentum from your own dashes in wallbounces and wavedashes.
They're actually plenty connected. :)
Feather and jellyfish both include aerial movement, so I would say they have some connection
Not to mention Theo
"I found out it's a reference to an old cartoon character" thanks you just gave me ten wrinkles and two hundred gray hairs...
When you said that the ziper only apears on chapter 1A, B and C sides, it also apears on chapter 9, but in a diferent texture.
You say that the snowball is random and unrelated, but it's just like Mr. Oshiro in chapter 2, just from the front not the back
the mushroom is a lot like theo rlly, picking up an object, where u cant dash while holding it, but can dash into it and pick it up mid dash. all connected
Dimension is the perfect song he could've used for the intro, very good job.
snowballs are related to oshiro and ice lumps in the core
the black blizzard creo jumpscare omg 🤪🤪
the theo crystal prepares you for the jellyfish
Mr. Oshiro got you ready for the snowballs
Dude this channel is underrated!
So much effort was put in this video, definitely deserves a sub
I also love how core teaches you to manage well your dashes, because in B and C sides all dashes are necessary, no more, no less
killer snowballs function pretty much identically to core ice balls, and also kinda like seekers and pufferfish because they can only be touched from above and otherwise they kill/launch you
I though Wile e Coyote was a timeless classic. I'm shocked people growing up don't know about him anymore.
Why does this have so little views.
My channel is currently a hidden gem. ;) Please share.
Will do.
also theres always atleast 1 room that has an easy use for an object before they implement it in harder jumps
actually, the jellies work like Theo, and you learn how to deal with killer snowballs from how oshiro is dealt with.
6:45 I love that the example that you choose to say that this not apply to every object is ACTUALLY an evolution of Theo in the Crystal 😂
My greatest blunder
@@SubIndy That just proves that the game can always surprise us ;)
This was a great video and it needs more recognition.
Great video! Makes you think even more about the player's experience!
the clouds are introducing the lava blocks from chapter 8, they both giving a momentum in the oposite direction you touched them
surprised you mentioned snowballs as a sort of one-off thing considering the previous level had Oshiro
Yeah, somehow didn’t notice at the time.
I did not expect to hear Exosphere right after watching creo’s new song. Great video and soothing narrating voice :>
1:18 we Makin Outa Black blizard with this one
"old cartoon caracter" made me feel old
1:18 Extreme ptsd when dimension started playing
I learned the bumpers because in level 5 when you jump on one of the little eye things they drop an egg that explodes and bounces you in the same way
I’d argue you figure out the snowballs from oshior. Both attack your current position after a second or two, both try to kill you, both get defeated when you bounce on top of them, and both give your dash back when doing so.
This was fantastic, I’m definitely subscribing for future content.
More to come! Sometime soon-ish.
@@SubIndy take your time man
Killer snowballs are similar to oshiro
You can jump on them to regain your dash and some height, and both occasionally fly across the screen.
I don't even know what the hell this game is. Literally just found this video in my recommended, and I'm already intrigued lol
great video and great editing! good job with it! subbed :)
There’s another game called Grime that has some “do a thing to make a platform move and also if you jump at the right time it can and will launch you” just came to mind.
The flying snowballs could be linked to mr oshiro
was I the only one who didn't know it was called wormwood?
I only now learned that Badeline isn't rushing to catch you but only follows. I've died way too many times just because I was hurrying to "not get caught".
I did not expect to all of a sudden hear dimension by creo
fucken black blizzard jumpscare
Dude this video is amazing! you're so underrated, the quality of this video is amazing, you've outdone yourself and earned a sub and notification bell
but may i add the clouds are more closely related to the lava block things!
I did not expect a creo song when I started watching this
Jellyfish is similar to Theo in Crystal, but it actually helps by slowing down falling.
Oh that dimension in the beggining hit hard
editing is on point !
I’ve always known that Celeste had some part of this tutorial, but I didn’t know it stretches to so many things.
Man i want to learn editing like you do. This is amazing
1:17 i did not expect for creo - dimension to play here
Baseline in reflection is connected to snowballs and Mr. Oshiri battle since they both shoot directly at you, it’s jsut that badeline shoots it from any angle
I loved this video so much, especially your sense of humour lmao
i knew about coyote time and i didn’t know they had a twitter
SNOWBALL IS LIKE OSHIRO LIKE ITS JUST HIM BUT BACKWARDS
The snowballs are obviously connected to Mr. Oshiro. Same idea: something shooting at you in a straight line every few seconds, so you gotta move up or down. Actually also uses idea from Badeline in that you can't stay in the same place too long.
That pokemon edit must've taken so long. That does not go unnoticed :D
Omg, dude, you’re literally the first person to comment about the Pokemon sequence. I’ve been waiting for this moment ever since I posted the video! I think it took me like two whole days to make it look just right. Finally, the Pokemon X Celeste thing has been acknowledged and respected. Thank you.
@@SubIndy :)
The snowballs might be similar to Oshiro? Jumping on its top, moving in a straight line, killing you.
I think crystalized theo and jellyfish are lined together, and dream blocks are kinda like golden feather mechanic
This video was excellent, I hope more people find this channel because that sub count needs more digits
Thank you, thank you.
6:49 Small nitpick, I'd argue the killer snowballs actually build rather well on Oshiro from the previous level and to a lesser extent help build up the Seekers in the next one.
Great video!
Your completely right. And thanks!
Why does the thumbnail look like she killed three different people and you are calling her out for it
Creo - Dimension for the intro music. The best EDM producer I would say.
That "What else are you hiding from us, [REDACTED]?" Physically hurt me
i missed it- where was that at?
@@chrissysonicutdrloz 0:46, he didn't actually say [REDACTED], of course, he said Maddy's deadname, but hearing the full name, with so much emphasis and stuff, was uncomfy. Through no fault of his own, of course, he didn't do anything wrong, it's just hard to watch when it's outdated
You say dream blocks and bubbles aren't so connected, but you may reconsider after seeing how dreamhypers and bubble hypers work the exact same 👀
When I first saw the feather in someone's Celeste livestream, I thought it was a banana
it does sorta look like that
i just finished climbing to the summit on bsides and i SWEAR thats where i thought this was going . good video!
I mean snow blocks are just the same as the hotel owner guy who chases you. Both go in straight lines, both chases you while your on the screen to your last known position.
And both you can evade or bounce off of to gain your dash back. Both can help with getting more range or strawberries. They share almost everything in common in a mechanical since.
And the hotel owner gets you prepared for the snow balls of doom.
could argue that the snowballs build off of oshiro, maybe
Possibly!
The jellyfish has a connection with crystal theo
snow balls are connected to the weird monster in the temple
my man using sphere
