Prologue isn't considered an A-Side, but instead an "interlude" chapter, similar to [[Epilogue]].

Line 34 ⟶ 33:
Madeline, having just arrived at the foot at [[Celeste Mountain]] by [[Intro car|car]], is about to embark on a journey. She jumps across several pits, narrowly avoiding a falling block of ice. The [[Bird]] is then introduced; it teaches Madeline how to climb a wall vertically. After making it past a few bumpy hills, she arrives in front of a shack where [[Granny|an old woman]], also known as Granny, lives.
Madeline asks her whether she is on the right trail or not. After the woman confirms this, the mountain climber asks about the collapsing driveway. The old woman starts laughing, claiming that the mountain might be "too much" for Maddy, but she stays determined and states that she'll be fine. Granny then warns her that Celeste Mountain is a strange place, where she might end up seeing crazy things, but Madeline ignores her.
As Madeline steps onto the [[Entities#Bridge|bridge]], it starts collapsing under her feet.
Madeline starts panting as soon as she safely arrives on the other side. The camera scrolls upwards towards the night sky, and the text "'''You can do this.'''" appears. Subsequently, the player is returned to the map screen with [[Forsaken City|Chapter 1]] unlocked.▼

▲It is impossible to dash during the prologue, except at the very end. Therefore, the only way to progress quickly is via [[bunnyhops|bunnyhopping]] and cornerboosting throughout the level. It's also possible to skip the dash cutscene right when Madeline stops falling.
== Trivia ==
* Upon release, the final dash cutscene wasn't meant to be skippable, yet speedrunners found an exploit requiring frame-perfect menu management to save time. The devs made it skippable in [[Version history|version 1.2.6.0]] to remove the need for a very precise and tedious skip at the beginning of the speedrun.
** The original skip also allowed skipping the "You can do this" text following the dash cutscene
* [[Cheat Mode]] can be activated from Prologue by going to the [[intro car]] room and inputting a certain code.
* Prologue has a hidden "bird room" located above the starting screen. It contains birds that fly away when Madeline nears them, and has no practical use.
