'''Crystal Hearts''' are high-importance collectibles in ''Celeste''. Their primary purpose is to unlock different chapters locked by [[
A Crystal Heart can be collected by dashing into it. In {{ch|5B}}, a crystal heart can also be gathered by throwing a [[Theo crystal]] into it.
After a heart is collected, Madeline slows down, and the game continues to run for 135 frames (~2.25 seconds) before she completely stops. It is possible to die during these 135 frames, for instance if Madeline dashes into spikes during this time. After the collection cutscene depicting the heart in the middle of the screen, the heart is saved, and will remain in the save file permanently.▼

All B-Side and C-Side Crystal Hearts double as [[golden strawberry]] collection triggers. The "1,000" that appears when a strawberry is collected appears when the heart cutscene plays and remains on screen until the "spinning heart" animation is skipped.
== Trivia ==
* In early development, only one large heart was meant to exist in the game, and the collectibles in each chapter would have been heart shards that would potentially unlock Core. It was changed to what it is now in the release version.<ref>Maddy Thorson, [https://youtu.be/u-nSjhIgmXc?si=QtfuJ_oDd2rO-Fza&t=3084 Celeste Developer Commentary Livestream] on YouTube</ref>
* Every heart color plays a slightly different pitch of the collection sound.
* The heart names were initially meant to be an experiment with a poem that could have possibly been reassembled in the [[journal]], but the idea was never fulfilled, and realigning the hearts is purely cosmetic.<ref>Maddy Thorson, [https://youtu.be/u-nSjhIgmXc?si=a2-ibsTKn81SZwTr&t=3150 Celeste Developer Commentary Livestream] on YouTube</ref>

▲Every [[C-Side]] also contains a Crystal Heart at its end. Unlike the B-Side crystal hearts, these often aren't located at safe locations, and Madeline can die whilst collecting them. These Crystal Hearts are gold in color, and unlike A and B-Side Crystal hearts, do not have an associated name or achievement.
