Adelie (mod)
This page refers to the metroidvania mod by meep. For the penguin species, see adelie
Adelie is a metroidvania mod that primarily features one huge level. It is notable for being the first mod to use mid-level checkpoints, the first mod to feature a moving camera, and the first mod to feature adelie penguins. There are 10 berries, 9 of which are possible gemskip.
Gameplay
adelie is partly open-world, as the first stage of the game features four small orbs that must all be collected to use a second dash. Using the second dash, the bottom and right sides of the screen can be accessed, and this forms a path to the exit with fiery projectiles. Gemskip is possible by falling from above, or by doing a difficult trick known as "adelieskip" from the starting area
Penguins
Adelie has had a lasting cultural legacy from its focus on penguins. The mod name is a reference to adélie, a penguin species, and penguins are featured prominently throughout the mod. there is also a side quest in which a lost penguin is reunited with its parent. Due in part to the mod's reception, penguins have become associated with Celeste Classic, and pixelated adelie are popular as emotes and profile pictures among Celeste runners
