Classic Sonic Mania Metal Sonic boss mod?

[Dark Redshift]

As much as the original Metal Sonic boss was unreasonably hard, I actually like it better for Mania mode as it takes the Generations Metal Sonic boss, makes it 2D and combines it with the original race. I don't like how it was removed completely in Sonic Mania Plus so I want a mod that allows the original metal sonic boss to be toggled on and off in Mania Plus (in the same menu for control style, & Knuckles mode etc.) with options to have it on for either Mania mode or Encore mode, on for both or off for both.

That way I could play with the classic boss for Mania Mode and the new Sonic Mania Plus Metal Sonic Kai for Encore Mode.

This isn't possible and wouldn't be for a long long time

The bosses are hard-coded into the game itself, and we wouldn't even know where to look for pulling the original boss from Mania and converting/inserting it into Mania Plus, on top of overwriting everything for the new final phase to avoid conflicts. Not to mention most of the calls for the boss assets (like all the programming for the spike wall and Metal Sonic's altered attack patterns) are likely completely gone now and it would basically be starting from scratch.

Again, like Axanery said, you probably won't be seeing it for a long time, if at all. This sort of stuff is way more complicated than you believe it is, and Mania isn't as open or easy to mess around with as the classic games are to begin with.
