'''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}}. After being unlocked, they 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}}<ref>In each of these chapters, the golden strawberry appears at the start of the second checkpoint (the second room in {{ch|8C}},).

They are only collected only at the last gameplay screens of the chapter in A-sidesSides, and upon collecting a heartCrystal Heart in B-sidesSides and C-sidesSides.

Upon picking one up, the player must finish the entire chapter without dying in order to collect it. Dying at any point within the chapter 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''.

Obtaining all 202 strawberries will give the entire save file (in the save select menu) 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,harder because they bring both length and difficulty. Farewell, beingis significantlyby longerfar andthe moremost difficult thanin anythe ofvanilla game.

Unlike practicing for [[speedruns]], obtaining a Golden Strawberry is all about '''consistency''', and being able to makemaking 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.
