Advanced Techniques

Celeste's movement system hides remarkable depth. These community-named techniques are never required by the main story but unlock the hardest optional content and speedrunning.

Core techniques

• Wavedash - dash diagonally down into the ground and jump on landing to convert the dash into horizontal speed.
• Hyperdash (hyper) - a crouched variant producing a longer, lower jump.
• Wall bounce - dash up a wall and jump off it during the dash for extra height.
• Extended hypers/supers - chain speed through slopes and platforms.
• Neutral jumping - climb walls without stamina cost by jumping off and regrabbing.

Practice

The Farewell chapter teaches wavedashing explicitly. For everything else, B-Sides and C-Sides (see Chapters) are natural practice grounds.
