Stellaris: The C-Side is the third and final map in the Solaris System. Released in August 2023 as part of the Solaris System's Dark Side Update, Stellaris is, as its subtitle implies, a C-Side. Stellaris takes place in what is presumably another of Madeline's dreams, this time featuring a purple foreground with white grass and mostly yellow background objects. The sky is dark and filled with desaturated purple and yellow auroras, as well as stars arranged in the shape of constellations. It consists of three gameplay rooms, which contain "the ultimate jelly juggling puzzles", as well as numerous secrets such as a cassette tape, resprited moon berry, part of the mod's ARG, and a dragon bossfight. One of its songs also has lyrics, making Stellaris one of the few maps with lyrics in its music.

Plot

Show/hide content

Madeline ends up in what is presumably another of her dreams. After some difficult jelly juggling challenges, she remembers a time during her childhood in which she showed her mom a drawing she made which combined the sun and moon; this drawing is the inspiration for the dream that Solaris takes place in. Afterwards, she encounters a yellow Crystal Heart with sun-like rays coming out of it, and the dream presumably ends after its collection.

“Creativity is a blessing, Madeline. Be sure to make the most of it!”

Gameplay

Start

The first two rooms of Stellaris are, like most C-Sides, harder and tighter than the previous sides (Solaris and Lunaris). Midair superdashes are introduced at the start of the map, though they are only used in the first room. All three jellyfish variants and several other resprited entities seen previously throughout the Solaris System appear here as well.

Take Me Up To Heaven

The third and final room of Stellaris is harder, longer, and very vertical. The lighting darkens and the color palette inverts, with the background mostly being light purple and the foreground consisting of a lot more yellow. Prom Night, a song which, surprisingly for a Celeste mod, has lyrics, plays. The gameplay is significantly more vertical, with sections based on the subchapters of Solaris and Lunaris each ended with a Badeline orb taking Madeline to the next one.

Trivia

  • Donker19 has made several jokes about there being a dragon bossfight in Lunaris. While there unfortunately isn't a dragon bossfight in Lunaris, Stellaris has a secret dragon bossfight which even references the joke in the form of Jas H Dragon Form.
  • The final subchapter name in Stellaris, "Take Me Up To Heaven", is a part of the lyrics of the song that plays during the subchapter.
