And that's the end of 100% of Celeste Strawberry Jam Collab!

Passionfruit Pantheon and this whole collab was absolutely incredible! This immaculate collab was made by the greatest community I could ever be a part of. It makes me wish I was part of the creation of this incredible mod, too. Something orchestrated with the love of hundreds of people that came together to create pretty levels they love.
This community has changed my life and I am extremely grateful for it.

In the final cracked levels of GM, Nelumbo and The Solar Express specifically, I was very hesitant to finish since they were very difficult and straining on the fingers. I almost completely gave up on TSE and started doing silver and golden berries in between. With that, I had finished every silver and golden up until expert, and even began and played for about 40 hours Drifting Deep for its silver.

The hardest flag was probably Pinball Purgatory (aka Pumber). Shattersong came close though!
Shattersong flag was extremely cool, since that ending is amazing.
The music was out of this world too!

Definitely didn't do as good as Parrot_Dash and so many other skilled players, but I was proud of clearing some flags rather fast!
Not sure if this was my hardest clear of a map yet. There are many other much more difficult ones out there!

I've made a tier list of my favorite maps and songs of the collab which you can find here:

In general my favorite map was probably Paint from the beginner lobby, but so many others get really close! There are some very beautiful masterpieces here, including in music such as in Impeded from Summit Downside, and visuals such as The Solar Express or Expert Heartside.
In grandmaster, I really loved Drifting Deep and World Abyss.
