Look, they made this in a week. Mario 64 is one of my favorite games ever, and I’m a trans girl with bipolar 1 and a generalized anxiety disorder, so I love Celeste. Marry the two, and have the product of a single week of development somehow turn out this well? Yeah, I’m amazed. Hearing Forgotten City remixed with the Mario 64 soundfont made me so fucking happy. And then the Mario Sunshine accapella homages with any of the tapes, which are like mini b-sides I suppose? Fucking awesome. And hey, just a little more dialogue of these characters living their lives is sweet. Madeline being gay with Theo’s sister wasn’t on my bingo, but it’s sweet. I love that these characters are just, happy. Living their lives. No idea how Granny’s here though I thought she died lol.
