Line 1:
'''Alternate sides''' (namely '''B-Sides''' and '''C-Sides''') are essentially harder but shorter versions of a chapter. They exist in every chapter except {{ch|Pr|lf=1}}, {{ch|Ep|lf=1}} and {{ch|9|lf=1}}.
In alternate sides, a remix of the chapter's music is used. These remixes are known as [[Celeste B-Sides]], although the exact same soundtrack plays in C-Sides as well.
Alternate sides do not have any [[Collectables#Red Strawberries|Red Strawberries]], but [[Golden Strawberries]] can be found and collected there if they have been unlocked and the alternate side has been completed before.
Additionally, alternate sides of all levels will be instantly unlocked when [[Cheat Mode]] is enabled in the save file.
== B-Sides ==

A B-Side for a given chapter can be unlocked by collecting a [[Cassette Tape]] in the A-Side of the level. It can then be accessed right away, even if the A-Side is not completed yet, and it is possible to unlock the new chapter by completing the B-Side instead. This is commonly used in speedruns to save time since 5B and 6B are shorter than their A-side counterparts.
Like A-Sides, B-Sides are segmented into checkpoints.
At the end of each B-Side is a
Completing all B-Sides except {{ch|8B|lf=1}} is required to unlock the [[Crystal Heart Gate]] in {{ch|9|lf=1}} and 8B.
{{ch|1B|2B|3B|4B|5B|6B|7B|8B}}
== C-Sides ==

C-Sides are unlocked after completing 8B, which, in turn, requires completion of all B-Sides. They are significantly shorter than A-Sides and B-Sides, consisting of 3-4 rooms with no checkpoints. However, the rooms are longer and more difficult than those of A- and B-Sides.
C-Sides end with a Yellow Crystal Heart. {{ch|8C|lf=1}} unlocks only if all other C-Sides had been completed.

== Trivia ==
* B-Sides were initially called "Hard Mode" during development and later named "Remix Mode" before ultimately being named "B-Sides" <ref>Maddy Thorson, [https://youtu.be/u-nSjhIgmXc?si=uCBKshtHCVu7axpY&t=1149 Celeste Developer Commentary Livestream] on YouTube</ref>
* Surprisingly, progressing through completing B-Sides before A-Sides was unintended.<ref>[[Kevin Regamey]] on [https://discord.com/channels/403698615446536203/407055931138899969/701844244759052310 Celestecord (link to message)] April 20, 2020</ref>
