'''The Summit''' is the seventh chapter of [[Celeste]]. Preceded by [[Reflection]] and succeeded by [[Core]], it's a throwback to the previous chapters, reusing most of the mechanics from them, paired with the newly obtained second dash. Unlike the previous chapter, The Summit is a bit of a step up in difficulty, featuring a lot of platforming with no safe ground underneath. The last checkpoint features flags that count down until the player reaches the top. It effectively serves as the end of Celeste's main storyline; the {{ch|Ep|lf=1}} occurs after the events of The Summit.
The Summit introduces five new mechanics: upwards [[wind]] (also known as "upwind"), downwards wind (also known as "downwind"), and sideways springs.

==== Start to 2500M ====
The '''start''' of {{ch|7a|lf=1}}, which is also known as "0M", features a still of Madeline seeing the mountain in the distance, getting ready to climb up. It then transitions to a cutscene of Madeline heading upwards in ''spin mode'' before landing at the beginning of the chapter. It is loosely themed after {{ch|6|lf=1}} but does not feature any mechanics specific to the aforementioned chapter; instead, it focuses primarily on platforming and utilizing Madeline's newly acquired second dash. It has the usual springs and smashable walls, [[spinners|spinners]], and [[spikes|spikes]]. In the final room, the [[Badeline orbs|Badeline orb]] is presented again: it moves to a different place after being triggered, and Madeline must reach Badeline at different locations to advance to the next subchapter.
The '''500M''' subchapter is closely themed after {{ch|1|lf=1}}. It features many mechanics specific to that chapter, such as [[Zippers]], while still using Madeline's second dash extensively. Unlike Forsaken City's A-Side, [[skull binoculars]] and [[touch switches]] also appear. The final room again features Badeline orbs, and reaching the top
The '''1000M''' subchapter brings back [[Dream Blocks]], despite Madeline not dreaming as of that moment. It closely resembles {{ch|2|lf=1}}. The subchapter's rooms are often quite longer than their {{ch|2a}} counterparts but do not feature [[Badeline Chasers]]. Making it through and launching through another set of Badeline orbs will allow proceeding towards the next subchapter.
Line 84:
==== 3000M ====
The '''3000M''' subchapter is the final one before the {{ch|Ep|lf=1}}, and comprises 30 [[checkpoint flags]]; it is by far the longest, containing about a third of the chapter. The first two flags serve as an introduction to the subchapter. After flag 28, a new mechanic is introduced: downwards-blowing wind. This makes it much more difficult for Madeline to climb and perform [[neutral jumps]], as she will fall
Flag 19 is where upwards wind is introduced; it makes Madeline jump higher and act much "floatier" mid-air. She then must make it through several more flags and [[spinner]] gauntlets through 12 more checkpoints before reaching another Badeline orb.
Flag 06 marks the reintroduction of [[Feather|Feathers]], which have been absent throughout this chapter until now. This leads towards Flag 05, where the wind finally stops blowing, and Flag 04, where a pair of special [[skull binoculars]] enable [[Madeline]] to glimpse the summit up close for the first time. Making it to the flag completes the chapter and makes the [[credits]] roll after.
=== B-Side ===
Line 112:
Unlike the A-Side, only 20 [[checkpoint flags]] are present for the '''3000M''' sub-chapter. Flags 20 through 15 have downwards-blowing wind; flags 14 through 09 feature upwards-blowing wind.
Flag 08 introduces a new mechanic: [[wallbounces]]. This is one of the first advanced [[techniques]] that Madeline is taught. The [[bird]] merely informs her how to perform it: by dashing upwards and jumping as she is adjacent to the wall. The final eight flags
=== C-Side ===
Line 130:
The Summit's '''C-Side''' consists of merely three rooms, but the third is notorious for being extremely difficult, often compared to some of the hardest rooms in {{ch|9|lf=1}}.
The first room is a wallbounce gauntlet; Madeline has to perform at least seven
The third room features many springs, falling blocks, pink clouds, and at least one required wallbounce. Madeline has to dodge a
== Strawberries & Collectibles ==
{{Main|Summit/Collectibles|l1=Summit
The Summit has the most [[collectibles]] out of any chapter in ''Celeste.'' This includes 47 unique red strawberries, accounting for about a quarter of all berries hidden within the game. These include three winged strawberries and one seeded berry. It also has one of the hardest-to-find [[
==Trivia==
Line 143:
**If you turn on the [[Debug Mode|debug]] map, you'll notice unobtainable spawn points in the middle of the section. They were most likely used for testing purposes.
*The last bit of 7C is reused at the start of [[Farewell]]. One of the reasons is that Farewell was meant to be gated after finishing every C-Side, but that was changed before release.
*In earlier game versions
*Even though the 0M portion looks very similar to [[Reflection]] aesthetics-wise, no Reflection-specific mechanics (Kevin Blocks, Bumpers, etc.) were used in it. The only Reflection-specific mechanic used, [[Feather]]s, only
*The gems used to collect the [[Crystal Heart]] in 7A were originally used in each chapter as the method of unlocking the [[B-Sides]] (then called Hard Mode). The player would have to collect multiple fragments without touching the ground.<ref>Maddy Thorson, [https://youtu.be/u-nSjhIgmXc?si=G9c4Z_gunaCdxbHt&t=3198 Celeste Developer Commentary Livestream] on YouTube</ref>
