- What is this mod? this is a challenge mod for special stages. Basically, all blue spheres in the level are replaced with the titular purple rings. They serve no purpose technically as they give you no score and cannot be attracted by shields, but thats not where the interesting part lies
- What is the interesting part? The interesting part is what happens when you reach bonus time (or if you have half of the alotted time remaining in any special stage). Cosmic Clones will appear and copy your every move; touching one will damage you, so you'll have to play carefully to reach the "sphere" requirement in some instances. NOTE: THIS DOES NOT APPLY TO EITHER VERSION OF SPECIAL STAGE 7! COSMIC CLONES WILL BE ACTIVE FROM THE BEGINNING!
Features:
- MULTIPLAYER COMPATIBILITY: clones spawned in multiplayer copy your skin color; clones from other players cannot harm you
- MOD COMPATIBILITY: This mod is compatible with The Special Minigames! Sphere Race behaves like Special Stage 7, where clones spawn immediately. I also made a special mix specifically for the stage (amen break my beloved)
- COMPLETELY OPEN ASSETS!!!: this mod is completely free to use for any of your projects! Considering how complex it was to create the cosmic clones (or the HUD for that matter), I personally wouldn't want to indirectly put someone through what we went through just to get the same result, so go nuts :3
- ADVENTURE SONIC INCOMPATIBILITY?!: just kidding! (Kinda; he can't use the light speed dash on purple rings, though)

Commands:
purplecoinmode(on/off) - toggles the mode entirely if you want to turn it off at any point
cosmicclonemode(on/off) - this is a fun one; This command gives cosmic clones the ability to follow you outside of the confines of the special stages. perfect for admin trolling ;P

KNOWN ISSUES:
- The theme that plays when 10 seconds remain resets in singleplayer; no clue how to fix it either, unfortunately...
- music resets when in the completion state or when collecting the time powerup (I have no clue why, to be completely honest with you)
- The screen overlay disappears when opening the multiplayer scoreboard
- there's also a potential visibility issue in specific circumstances; I'll look into it if enough people mention it
- the HUD can't count any higher than 999 spheres. This isn't normally a problem, but some mods add a lot of spheres, so keep that in mind.
- speaking of the HUD, the prompt to collect spheres isn't changed. I forget which variant is hardcoded, but one of them can't be changed at all and I have no clue how to change the other one.
- Cosmic clones of Fluffy Tails are missing their tails
Acknowledgments:
- Lfan: he did so much of this including the clones and adding the galaxy numbers to the HUD. This mod is what it is today thanks to him.
- Maril: had she not posted about her own version of cosmic clones in the SRB2 Discord, I never would've thought anything involving cosmic clones would even be possible in SRB2.
- Soashivito: His easy access to servers really helped a ton with testing the mod for multiplayer compatibility! I will be forever grateful for his assistance and his cool servers! :3
- HBriet: created the "purple coins" midi I used for most of the songs in this mod
- VGMusic (credit not listed on site, unfortunately): location of the red/speedster comet midi I also used for the mod
- Seezee: created the code I used for the screen effects via the Exetior character mod. I don't know if there's any other way to do it besides the way they did it, but I'm crediting them anyway to be thorough! :)
