A wallbounce as depicted in the Celeste manual.

A wallbounce, sometimes abbreviated to wounce or known as Super Walljumps in the game files, is a tech introduced in The Summit B-Side, and used through Farewell and the C-Sides (3C through 7C). It is a special type of walljump that's done by dashing upwards next to a wall and jumping while Madeline still has the dash momentum. It allows the player to reach greater heights and jump over tall obstacles.

Functionality

Wallbounces set Madeline's horizontal speed to 170 and vertical speed to 160, which quickly decreases due to gravity.

Other variants

Bubble Wallbounce

Introduced in Golden Ridge C-Side, a bubble wallbounce is a wallbounce performed after leaving a bubble. Since the bubble gives the player dash momentum, they can pull off the trick without needing to dash again.

Trivia

• Although the tech is known as a wallbounce, it's called a "super walljump" in the game files.
• Despite the game having a lot of wallbounce setups, the vast majority of them can be skipped with other tech such as 5-jumps or other more convoluted solutions:
  • 7B only has three unskippable wallbounces, one in flag 8 and two in flag 7.
  • Almost every wallbounce in the C-Sides can be skipped, except 4C, where the player must jump off a wall and be forced to use the bubble.
  • Farewell is possible to complete with 0 wallbounces, although the third room of Determination has an extremely unreliable skip that has only been done with a TAS.
