== Spring Collab scale ==
The [[Spring Collab]] scale is one of the most common ones used in the Celeste community, separating maps into several broad categories by their difficulty. There are also modifiers indicating whether it is easier or harder than the average in said category. The maps are divided by multiple factors: the precision required, input density, the tech used in them and the complexity of executing it (e.g. tech with setups is easier), or other criteria. One example is [[Strawberry Jam Collab/Lava Layer|Lava Layer]], a Grandmaster map from [[Strawberry Jam]] that doesn't use any advanced tech but features incredibly tight movement.
A map being longer or shorter does not affect

Grandmaster maps are some of the hardest maps available in Celeste. They are generally limited to top-tier players. These maps often feature advanced tech almost consistently, including chained ultras, [[Spike Jumps|spike jumps]], and [[core hypers]]. Deep knowledge of the game and consistency at frame-limited (≈ 4-frame) tech is expected at this level.

A map is 1 Star if it is as hard as Darkmoon Ruins and up to the peak of Grandmaster difficulty. Examples include [[7D With Single Dash...

=== 4 Star ===
4 Star maps are the hardest humanly possible maps of ''Celeste'', being at or above yellow Grandmaster+2 difficulty. The low 4 Star tier includes maps like [[D1D7]], [[Madeline Votes in the 2020 U.S. Election D-Side]],

There is also a difficulty scale for
Most tiers have "difficulty reference" maps with uncontroversial difficulty opinions from the player base. Other goldens and deathless challenges are compared with respect to these. The difficulty references for each tier are listed below easiest to hardest but can
Here, [FC] means full clear, and [C/FC] means either normal clear or full clear (which are of similar difficulty).
