The idea that Celeste is subtext with Kaizo Mario is fucking bizarre to me, the airdashing absolutely shrieks Playstation Mega Man X.
Celeste its own unique game, probably with multiple inspirations. I haven’t been part of that community long enough to know how much Maddy was a part of it back then either, if at all. For all I know, Maddy started associating with that community later.
if the game is just gonna rub my nose to the grindstone for lengths of time that make PS1 JRPGs look tame
Yeah. A lot of things, you can just grind away at and eventually get things to work. Most Celeste sections (except the last one) are fairly short, so they seem pretty manageable with determination if you aren’t going for the golden strawberries. But I’ve definitely seen some people spend many hours clearing Farewell or some of the C-sides, and its probably not worth it for most people (myself included - I’m fine just watching others while doing other things).
