Victory Animations
Madeline's victory theme is an excerpt of the B-Side chapter complete jingle from Celeste (0:00-0:06). In addition to these, Madeline has a secret fourth victory animation if she wins a match with her Level 3 Nexus Attack. Upon the end of the attack, Madeline and Badeline are seen watching the sunset on Celeste Mountain, with the opponent flying into the distance. This animation removes the victory jingle and results theme, replacing them with ambient noise.
 * Madeline snags a Winged Strawberry out of the air with a dash, landing on the ground with a pose.
 * Madeline pulls out a strawberry pie to the camera, with Badeline sneaking a strawberry out of it. This references the ending of Celeste.
 * Madeline is seen sleeping against a rock, referencing the Chapter 1 ending of Celeste.
