'''Golden Strawberries''' (shortened to '''goldens''', '''goldberrys''', or simply '''gbs''') are special [[Strawberry|berries]], tinted gold in color and with a crown on top, which are first unlocked upon completing Chapter {{ch|8B|lf=1}}. TheyAfter arebeing onlyunlocked, collected at the last screens of the chapter in A-sides and upon collecting a heart in B-sides and C-sides. Theythey appear at the start of every chapter, with the exception of.<ref>In {{ch|6A}}, all sides of {{ch|8|lf=1}} (all sides), and {{ch|9|lf=1}}. In each of these chapters, the golden strawberry appears at the start of the second checkpoint (the second room in {{ch|8C}}). This skips the waiting in cutscenes, crystal heart gate animations, and trivial gameplay.</ref>. They are collected only at the secondlast room)gameplay screens of the chapter in A-Sides, and upon collecting a Crystal Heart in B-Sides and C-Sides.
 
Upon picking one up, the player must finish the entire chapter without dying to collect it. Dying at any point will result in both the loss of the berry and the player being teleported back to the room where they first obtained it.
Golden Strawberries are meant to be some of the most difficult challenges in ''Celeste''. The only differences that appear within ''Celeste'' upon the collection of a golden strawberry are aesthetic ones, most notably the level select gaining a golden tint (for the specific side). Obtaining 202 strawberries will give the entire save file (in the save select) a gold-tinted background. Prior to the addition of ''Farewell'', there were 200 strawberries in total.

Each level here on the ''Celeste Wiki'' will have a guide with strategies on collecting Golden Strawberries. However, doing as such usually does not suffice; speedrun [[tech]], such as [[hyperdashes]] and [[wavedashes]], are often strongly recommended. The easiest golden strawberry is generally accepted to be the one in {{ch|lf=1|1a}}. This is followed by {{ch|lf=2|2a}}, as well as the C-Sides, owing to their short length. The B-Sides are generally the hardest, because they bring both length and difficulty. Farewell, being significantly longer and more difficult than any of the other levels, is by far the hardest.

You can attempt to {{Tooltip|golden|complete without deaths (some maps replace the golden berry visual)}} almost every [[Mods|modded]] map; some of them are significantly harder than Farewell and have only a handful of goldeners, or none at all.
Unlike practicing for [[speedruns]], obtaining a Golden Strawberry is all about '''consistency''', and being able to make it across a large number of rooms without dying once.

[[Celestecord]] has some advice for collecting them. However, doing as such usually will not yield it on the first attempt; keep trying, practice makes perfect.
A [[winged golden strawberry]] exists in ''Celeste''; however, it is unrelated to the other Golden Strawberries. This winged golden strawberry, instead of requiring completing a level without dying, requires completing {{ch|lf=1|1a}} without dashing at all.

== Trivia ==
* Prior to the addition of ''{{ch|9|lf=1}}'', there were 200 strawberries in total.
* On [https://www.neoseeker.com/celeste/Celeste_Collectibles Neoseeker Celeste Wiki], a [[Fun:A Cautionary note about golden strawberries|Cautionary note]] existed warning the players about the "statistical impossibility" of collecting all 25 golden berries<ref>It had been written on February 22, 2018, before the addition of Farewell, so it excluded the Farewell Golden Berry. Imagine how this "cautionary note" would have looked if it had existed then!</ref>. Five years later, it was removed from Neoseeker by Artubass. It became a meme in the Celeste community and is frequently referenced to this day.
