'''Skull Binoculars''', '''Binoculars'''(also orknown as '''Binos''' for short (also known asor '''Watchtowers''') are utility [[objectsentities]] featured in ''Celeste''. They allow Madelinethe player to see furtherthe whole aheadroom, essentially serving as a telescope. They are present in many stages and every single C-Side (notably their final rooms). They're first introduced in [[Old Site]] or in the B-Side of [[Forsaken City]], depending on the route the player takes.

There's also a unique type of binoculars close to flag 4 of {{ch|7A|lf=1}}, which moves the screen through a specific track (from flag 4 to Celeste Mountain's peak). Moreover, in the final room of Farewell, binoculars show only the first part of the room (until the upwards section) and the last part with the endmost Lightning Breaker Box.

The main game usually allows the player to use binoculars in rooms that are long and hard, or aren't sight-readable and require the player to figure out puzzles or a game mechanic. They become more apparent in longer and more difficult chapters, where the solution may not be easy to figure out. A binocular also allows the player to locate the berry in the mirror room of {{ch|2a|lf=1}} (where Badeline shatters the mirror).

[[Mods]] use skull binoculars extensively for a variety of reasons.

* Due to the way hazards (crystal spinners, electricity, etc.) load in the game, it's possible to move the screen far away from the screen, allowing athe player to dash through them without getting hurt, as theirMadeline's hitboxes will be unloaded far away from the screen.

** This change was mainly done as an [[Easter eggs|Easter Eggegg]], but also because Maddy is a fan of Celeste Bingo, a game that focuses on fulfilling tasks in a specific order to win the round. 3B had no watchtowers before the beta update.
