Golden Ridge/Collectables

Golden Ridge A-Side features 29 red strawberries and a golden strawberry. Additionally, one Crystal Heart and one Cassette Tape can be found. This page is a guide on how to obtain all the collectibles hidden within.

Crystal Heart

Golden Ridge's Crystal Heart is hidden in the second checkpoint, Shrine. In a room hidden via an underwater passage, after the "hub" room, is a strawberry. The Crystal Heart can be found one more room to the right, by breaking a smashable wall. Climb up a set of blocks to find where the crystal heart is, but you won't be able to collect it, because you'll be out of reach. At the bottom of the room is a white block, one which may look suspicious since it is the only one in the whole game. The white block is a reference to Super Mario Bros. 3, level 1-3.

Crouch down on the white block for five seconds, and Madeline will fall to the background. You can now climb on the background tiles, allowing you to collect the crystal heart.

Cassette Tape

The Cassette room can be found in the first subchapter, Start, in a secret area accessed by going to the top-left of the tenth room. Jump up the clouds and then go back left and dash up to reach a transition. This next room has a seeded strawberry, but just continuing left reaches the Cassette room.

Strawberries

Start

There are 8 strawberries in this subchapter (not including the golden strawberry which spawns in the first room).

Berry 1

Found in the third room, this strawberry is hidden inside a wall. Climb and dash up above the left side of the room and in the gap opposite the wall where the bird is resting.

Berry 2

Found in the fourth room, the berry is seen floating near the bottom of the screen near a wall. Jump up the ledge nearby and fall to get the strawberry, then jump off the wall and dash straight up to get back on the ledge.

Berry 3

Found in the fifth room, this strawberry is between spikes. To collect the berry, direct the green bubble under it up and climb the smashable wall to then dash straight up to reach it, then finish the room normally.

Berry 4

This strawberry can be found at the end of the sixth room under a ledge. Jump off the left wall to bounce on the cloud and reach the berry, then move back to the left and bounce back to safety.

Berry 5

Found in the eighth room, this berry seems tricky to get as going towards it puts you against the wind. Fall down the corridor in the middle and dash left to get to the strawberry. Wall jump off the wall that the berry was next to and use your jumps and climbs carefully to not run out of stamina as you get back up.

Berry 6

In the ninth room, a smashable wall is seen. Jump left into it and dash straight up to find the strawberry.

Berry 7

By going left in the tenth room (before the Cassette room), a room with a seeded strawberry is reached. After collecting one strawberry Seed, wind starts blowing left. First, grab the rightmost seed, jump off the right wall, dash diagonally up-left, and land on the spring. Bounce up and dash straight up for the next seed, then climb the platform floating left off the spring and jump carefully over it to collect the third seed to the bottom-left of it before dashing diagonally again. Using the wind to push you left, jump up the left corridor off the wall to reach the last seed.

Berry 8

Found in the eleventh room, this strawberry is floating by a platform far away from the main wall. When the wind starts blowing, jump up the right wall as much as possible, then dash to the right side of the floating platform and jump above it to grab the berry just as the wind starts blowing again, then pull yourself right as soon as possible.

Shrine

There are 9 strawberries in this subchapter, 6 of which are in the optional paths in the first room.

Berry 9

By going right out of the first room, you can arrive at a room with two strawberries. This first berry is in the open at the right side of the room. Ride the guided platform straight to the right and dash above the spikes to reach the strawberry. Leave the room by riding the lower guided platform back left.

Berry 10

In the same room as the previous berry is a smashable wall in the top-right corner. After reaching the right side with the guided platform used previously, fall to the lower guided platform and jump to the right wall, climb it, and dash straight up to break the smashable wall. Hold onto the wall until the guided platform respawns, jump to it, then finish the room.

Berry 11

Above the guided platform, go to the right. In this room, bounce in the spring and dash to the triggered platform, then, as it goes down, jump over it to the guided platform right of it. Steer this platform right, fall into the strawberry, and ride up the next triggered platform. Grab onto the triggered platform pointing left when you reach it and ride it to safety.

Berry 12

Go into the lowest transition on the left, this strawberry is floating in the middle. To get it, grab the left side of the triggered platform, ride it to the left, then jump off, dash straight up when the time is right, and grab the side of the triggered platform when you fall to ride to the end.

Berry 13

This berry will first require you to go up on the left side. To traverse this first room, first land on the guided platform and steer it up a bit such that it fits over the wall but under the small platform. Jump over the platform to land on the guided platform again, then steer it downward. Jump and dash straight up to land on the bridge and then continue left. In the following room, jump and dash to the guided platform and steer it right as it goes up. There will then be a section of green bubbles which is simple to follow, then fall down the left side. In this next room, dash into the green bubble and go right, then dash to the guided platform. Move it to the right as it goes up and then jump to the left wall at the top. Jump off this left wall when the guided platform breaks and finally get the strawberry. You can then go right through a previous berry room to make it back to the main hub.

Berry 14

From the very top transition of the first room, you can make it to the other side of a future room in the subchapter. In this area, bounce from the pink cloud onto the top of the nearby guided platform. Ride it left, moving it down or up accordingly when needed, and you can arrive at the left side of the room where you fall into the bottom transition and find this strawberry hovering above a previous room.

Berry 15

Found in the second room, this strawberry is found by going through a hidden passage through the water, where it then floats in the open.

Berry 16

Continuing right from the previous berry by breaking a smashable wall will take you to the Crystal Heart room. In that room, dash right through another smashable wall to make it to a room with this strawberry in it. Jump onto the first triggered platform to activate it, but make sure to jump to the triggered platform pointing upward to move it out of the way so the first triggered platform is able to keep moving. When you reach the right, dash directly upward and grab the right side of the next triggered platform. Land on this platform and carefully dash around the crystals to arrive where this berry resides at the top-left.

Berry 17

Found in the fifth room, this strawberry hovers over spikes at the right. First, play through this room normally to get the guided platform on course to cross paths with this berry. Hold onto the right side of the guided platform and climb up when possible, then jump to grab the berry while also landing on top of the guided platform, and move it downward to keep yourself safe to continue right and finish the room.

Old Trail

There are 7 strawberries in this subchapter.

Berry 18

Above the left wall of the first room, a left transition leads to a windy room containing the first berry. Approach the winged strawberry from the left side by jumping all the way to the left and then jumping up the wall. Don't jump while holding the wall, as this wastes your stamina, and jumping normally will still give height thanks to the wind. Walljump to get above the spikes and continue jumping up the higher part of the wall. When you get to the top, jump right and dash right (above where the winged strawberry is) to reach the starting ledge, then climb it up to safety.

Berry 19

Found in the first room, this strawberry is floating under the main platforming area of the room near the start. Walk off the small platform above the berry and right as you touch it, start going left and dash diagonally up-left and grab the wall above the spikes. Climb up the wall and land on it to claim the berry.

Berry 20

Found in the fourth room, this strawberry is at the far-right side of the screen. To get this strawberry, first do the whole room normally and land on the bridge at the end. From there, wait until the triggered platform used earlier respawns, then go back down to the green bubble and direct it up-left and steer Madeline left to then grab onto the triggered platform. This will allow you to be on the platform while having a dash available. Ride it to the right side and jump to the berry to grab it, then jump back left and dash into the green bubble, allowing to claim the strawberry.

Berry 21

In the fifth room, an alternate path to the left can be entered which leads to this berry's room. Using the harsh wind, jump left and dash left to be barely able to reach the strawberry. Jump or climb up the left wall to reach the dash crystal, and from there jump right and diagonally dash up-right into the next dash crystal, then dash right again to enter the green bubble. Aim the green bubble directly right and then dash diagonally up-right into the last dash crystal, then fall down and dash directly right to make it back.

Berry 22

Found in the fifth room, this strawberry is seen at the end in a complicated area. Ride the triggered platform to the right and collect the key token while holding onto the wall. Make a jump to the left and dash at the last moment to reach the touch switch gate; climb it to get back to safety and claim the berry.

Berry 23

Found in the eighth room, this strawberry is found around the middle of the room floating around many crystal spikes. Take the closest green bubble directly left and let the wind blow you to the wall. Climb this wall and, when the wind stops, jump left to grab the berry and quickly dash directly right to get back to the wall. From here, climb back up, go to the green bubble, and move on like normal.

Berry 24

A hidden room can be found to the right of the eighth room. To access it, go through the slightly cracked part of the right wall above the spikes. The following room will have many green bubbles which you need to aim right and then dash up to advance. For the third green bubble, aim it down-right and dash up-right. Walljump up the next corridor and take the green bubbles at the top to the left to finally see the strawberry. Aim the final green bubble directly down to grab the berry, then dash to the side. Hold onto the wall and climb back up so you can walljump into the green bubble and use it to get out of the room.

Cliff Face

There are 5 strawberries found in this subchapter.

Berry 25

There is a smashable wall found on the left of the first room. By going to the ledge opened up by breaking this smashable wall, you can get up to a hidden area in the ceiling by dashing straight up. The room accessed through this area will be a large one and very tricky to figure out. Start by jumping over the guided platform and grabbing onto its left side, then start steering it to the left as it rises. When you get to the top, jump and dash to the left and reach the green bubble. Direct the green bubble left, the dash straight up. Grab the right side of the next guided platform and move it left to take it to the top of the next area. When you reach the top, jump to the other side of the next guided platform and grab on, then direct this guided platform to the right as it rises. Jump and dash to make it to the next green bubble, direct it right, and ride up the triggered platform. When you can, let go and dash to the right.

Berry 26

Found in the second room, this strawberry is underneath a disappearing platform. Advance to the third disappearing platform and fall down when it disappears to touch the berry, then dash up-left to get back to safety.

Berry 27

Found in the fifth room, this berry is hovering over crystal spikes around the end of the room. Using the green bubble nearby, launch yourself up and then dash directly left to grab the strawberry and arrive at an earlier platform. You can claim the berry and continue the room like normal.

Berry 28

Found in the eighth room, you can find this strawberry inside a secret area accessed by directing the second green bubble upward.

Berry 29

Found in the tenth room, this strawberry is located near the end by some green bubbles. Take the second to last green bubble directly to the right and reach the berry, immediately dash straight upward into the other green bubble, then take it to the end of the room like normal.
