The game consists of 31 screens of progressively increasing difficulty. Mechanics such as springs, dash refills (balloons), disappearing crates, clouds, and ice are introduced throughout.
At 1200 meters, a Celeste Memorial similar to that at the end of [[Forsaken City]] can be found. The location is named "Old Site".
At 2200 meters is a chest that contains a green orb (known as the gem). When it is gathered, the player can dash twice without touching the ground. It is possible to complete the game without collecting it, albeit it is significantly harder.
The last screen is named "Summit", indicating the end of the climber's journey. Upon touching the flag, a statistics screen displays the elapsed time, the number of collected strawberries, and the number of deaths.
The "Real Gamer" [[Achievements|achievement]] is awarded upon completing CELESTE Classic where achievements are supported.
== Soundtrack ==
The soundtrack was composed by [[Maddy Thorson]].<ref>Maddy Thorson, [https://youtu.be/u-nSjhIgmXc?si=93EsO9rA3R2H18bC&t=3415 Celeste Developer Commentary Livestream] on YouTube</ref>
