Alternate sides: Difference between revisions

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 ifwhen [[Cheat Mode]] is enabled in the save file.

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 B-Sides5B and 6B are shorter than their A-Sidesside counterparts.

At the end of each B-Side is a Cassette Block Room, which is the only room in the B-Side having [[Cassette Blocks]], and which ends with a Red [[Crystal Heart]]. Collecting the Red Crystal Heart by dashing into it ends the B-Side.

Completing all B-Sides except {{ch|8B|lf=1}} is required to unlock the [[Crystal Heart Gate]] in {{ch|9|lf=1}} and {{ch|8B}}.

C-Sides are unlocked after completing {{ch|8B|lf=1}}, which, in turn, requires completion of all B-Sides. They are significantly shorter than A-Sides and B-Sides, consisting of just 3-4 rooms and with no checkpoints. TheHowever, the rooms themselves, however,are longer and more difficult than those of A- and B-Sides.
