well, calling the GBA version "mid" would be an offense to things that are mid

playing the amy in sonic 1 hack is the only time I've legitimately had fun in sonic 1

yes, in fact I'm pretty sure it's referred to as MT_CYBRAKDEMON in the mobjinfo there was an older version of the boss that had more original attacks, but its mechanics were less intuitive and considered frustrating
