Start is the first subchapter of Chapter 5: Mirror Temple B-Side in Celeste. The subchapter is short and contains a few small challenges mostly using red bubbles as well as a secret nod to Chapter 4 in the first room.
Gameplay[]
With only three rooms of challenges, this is one of the shortest subchapters in the entire game. The player enters the temple from the first room and then has a couple rooms involving red bubble timing and then one room using swap block momentum to complete it. Not many objects are present in this subchapter.
Strategies[]
Room 1
This first room you spawn in just has a ledge hanging to the left and a straight path to the right to enter the next room. In this room, far to the left side, is a small island somewhat resembling the ground of chapter 4 with a few birds on it which fly away shortly after you arrive at it. To get to it, you just need to enter the second room and take the first red bubble to the left, then you can come back with a red bubble found over there. One thing to note is that if the Golden Strawberry appears in this level, you'll have no way to reach this secret area without collecting it on the way.
Room 2
A small screen with pillars of spikes and red bubbles in many directions. Simply enter the first red bubble and take it straight right, then dash straight up into the dash switch. After this, you'll fall down into the red bubble below, which should be aimed straight up. After hitting the ceiling, you'll fall a bit before being able to dash straight right into the last red bubble and take it up-right to complete the room.
Room 3
This room is very long and will mostly compose of riding red bubbles while narrowly dodging spikes. Take the first red bubble right and dash either straight up or straight down before hitting the spiked pillar and land in the red bubble below, which will then be taken right. Once you are directly below the next red bubble, dash straight up into it and take it to the right. Do a diagonally up-right dash out of this red bubble before crashing into the spiked platform and keep moving right to land in another red bubble. Aim this red bubble up-right, then dash down-right when possible into another red bubble. This red bubble should go right for a bit before you'll need to do one more dash straight up into the last red bubble, also needing to be taken straight right. You can dash down-right out of this red bubble to land on the ledge at the end before hitting the spikes on the right.
Room 4
In this room, you'll need good knowledge of swap block momentum. Stand on the first swap block and dash down onto it and do a jump to get a big boost up over the pillar. Keep moving right, then dash straight left into the swap block below and hit the jump button to get a huge boost to the right, and with that you can climb the swap block on the right and jump over it to reach the end.
