'''Reflection''' is the sixth chapter of [[Celeste]]. Preceded by [[Mirror Temple]] and succeeded by [[The Summit]], it introduces five new mechanics: [[Feather|feathers]], [[Kevin Blocks]], [[Bumper|Bumpers]], [[Badeline Boss|Badeline as a boss]], and Badeline moving blocks.

Reflection's A-Side is
The ''Start'' checkpoint, following the initial story segment, is fairly simple. It introduces
The ''Lake'' checkpoint introduces Kevin Blocks and uses feathers to pass areas Madeline can't traverse normally.
The ''Hollows'' checkpoint starts with one large room with a feather that Madeline must reach to get to another area. This room also features the path to the Crystal Heart and the cassette tape. The subchapter has several split paths featuring large, horizontal rooms focused around Kevin Blocks, feathers, and bumpers.
The ''Reflection'' checkpoint consists of a talk with Granny, a room with a lot of bumpers and one featuring [[water]], and, lastly, one room containing a giant Kevin Block which leads to Badeline.
The ''Rock Bottom'' checkpoint is a chase between Madeline and Badeline's boss form, which can shoot deadly energy spheres and lasers at Madeline. It also introduces Badeline-activated moving blocks, which can either move between two spots or fall down upon Badeline being hit by Madeline.
The ''Resolution'' checkpoint has Madeline use a newly-obtained second dash to get back up with help from Badeline, who throws her upwards into a cutscene with Granny and Theo, ending the chapter. It is nigh-impossible to die here outside of the first screen without resetting.
=== B-Side ===
Reflection's B-Side is notable for being very difficult and is a sizable step up from the A-Side. Neither the cutscene with Theo, Badeline, nor Granny are present in this level. It starts with relatively difficult gameplay before plunging into a series of rooms where you fall through for quite a while. Overall, these rooms are quite a difficulty spike from the previous. After this checkpoint, the boss fight with Badeline starts, which is also a massive step up from the one in 6A. Due to the lack of cutscenes, the entire 6B is spent with a single dash. Despite this, you will still have 2 dashes in {{ch|7|lf=1}} even if you completed 6B instead of 6A.

Reflection's C-Side is notable for having four gameplay checkpoints

Reflection does ''not'' contain any red strawberries, owing to its narrative importance and use of split paths on several occasions. However, a [[Cassette Tape]], [[Golden Strawberries|Golden Strawberry]], and Blue [[Crystal Heart]] are hidden within, just like all prior A-

* Reflection is the only chapter in
* Reflection also marks the first time a chapter's end card is animated
* In early development, Reflection was meant to be mainly an underwater level. The idea was eventually scrapped as the devs didn't find the rooms interesting enough to be kept in the game.<ref>Maddy Thorson, [https://youtu.be/u-nSjhIgmXc?si=-JFe-ADqnSGJvXJ1&t=7089 Celeste Developer Commentary Livestream] on YouTube</ref>
