Cosmic Metal Sonic is here! With a familiar moveset, nonetheless...

For this character, I asked myself "What if he had the moveset for Boss Metal Sonic?" and I made this.
Here's the abilities:

The Metal Flap:
Jump upwards and then you can charge one of two things: a laser blast (hold Spin) or a boost of forward momentum(hold Jump). The first boost goes lower than the second, and there's also a visual cue for the last few frames that you could hold a button.

The Jet Boost :
Press Jump and Spin to perform the move. You boost forward with quite a bit of speed and depending on which shield you have, the ability is augmented:

  • Whirlwind Shield: Boost upwards as well as forwards.
  • Lightning Shield: The same as Whirlwind but with electric sparks.
  • Bubble Shield: Boost downwards as well as forwards.
  • Flame Shield: Boost with more speed.
  • Elemental Shield: Has the effects of Bubble and Flame combined.
  • Armageddon Shield: If you hit a wall or just let the ability do its thing, you will explode.
  • Force Shield: If you hit a wall, you do a wall jump.
  • Pity Shield: The shield says "I pity you". I had to, okay?
  • Attraction Shield: Doesn't do anything at the moment, may be changed in a future update.
Just make sure not to hit a wall!

NEW!
Bomb Dive:
While hovering, tap Spin to start the Bomb Dive, a move that will give a tiny vertical boost, and then send you crashing down to the floor. If you hit a spring, you'll get a boost.

Tactical Redirection:
When you're in dashmode on the ground and you press and hold spin, you get to redirect yourself at a set speed.

  • A menu, where every possible option can be customised (type cms_menu in console).
  • Switchable charge buttons. Use the menu to configure.
  • Try to impress your friends with tricks but fail. (XMomentum support)
  • Become a DJ. (Press tossflag)
  • A leftover tune.
  • Customise jet and flash colours in the menu.
  • Cool tunes.
  • Super detransformation (hold FireNormal and press Custom3).
  • A custom hyper form.
  • And probably more. I don't actually remember all the things.

Still great, better with time. Love the menu for customization and love all he options given. The only thing he needs now is a custom sprite so he can finally leave the realm of recolor/ copy.

Overpowered yet fun mod with great abilities. Only issue was fixed in the 2.0 version, being the accidental charging of the laser blast when I meant to hover.

After using Cosmic Metal for a while, I would say this is probably at the top for being a good metal sonic mod. Even if there are some problems like infinite flight, it doesn't ruin the experience for it being fun.

Though the only problem I have with this character is that when it's used in multiplayer, it not only lags people who don't use the character but has the chance of crashing someone after 2-3 zones. I don't know if it's because some characters interfere and make cosmic laggy or if it's the character as a whole. That ruins the fun since the server owner isn't affected but the ones who do join usually experience crashing.

Hopefully, you read this and fix the issue because I do like this version of Cosmic but it has issues for multiplayer modes, also another issue is that everyone hears the switching noise for Cosmic no matter if you're a different character you still hear it. Maybe a command to turn off the noise would be helpful since it gets annoying quickly, thank you for making this mod and if the issues were fixed then I would give this mod either a 4 or 5 stars.

I don't exactly know what causes the crashing, as I don't use multiplayer very often, and I didn't realise the switch noise can be heard by everyone, and I'll try to fix it for the next big update, v2.0. I apologise for any crashes as I just can't fix them for now.

Really cool mod, comes closest imo to metal Sonic’s play style my only issue is when playing in net games if the other player presses spin while jumping cosmetal will gain a ridiculous boost from it.
Cosmic

Yeah, that's an issue I unfortunately don't know how to fix, since I haven't done much since the release of v1.4.0 of the mod. I'll try to fix it for a patch update, though.

Very good and very fun mod, it very much feels like an upgraded version of metal sonic and it feels very true to the boss, but as always I do have a few complaints. Accidentally beginning to charge a laser is way too easy, I wish it either forced me to press it twice rather than hold the jump button, or that the dash as on jump instead of the laser. (maybe an option to switch the two?) On the subject of charging, there doesn't seem to be much benefit to fully charging either move. A suggestion would be perhaps having the laser either fire 3, or fire the vertical line/ horizontal line/ have both combined into a cross, and maybe having the dash bounce off walls during the initial startup of the boost when at full charge. As for less meaningful complaints it would be nice to have the old metal sonic race theme as an option, (the one that starts with the weird drum-ish riff) having a console command to change the color of his after images, (so they aren't always orange) and perhaps giving him a slightly different goalpost and character sprite to tell him apart from normal metal sonic. However even with these complaints, this mod is still fun and I would absolutely recommend a download. Most fun I've had playing metal sonic in a while.

What's the old metal sonic race music and what version was it in?

This mod is awesome! I really like that he's powerful but takes time to master, like a bit of a harder version of the shadow mod if you know what I mean. One thing though, maybe you could change the sprites a bit? Because he's "cosmic metal" you could add some space/futuristic designs? Instead of metal sonic with a different palette.

This is a good mod. An idea that most thought of and wanted but never got until now. It has some exploitable abilities that i found on the first minutes of playing. I like it. Also the funny flying glitch: https://imgur.com/a/TO15fw2

That "glitch" is an intended feature, but it's nice to see that you like the character.

Rather interesting idea of wanting to give Metal Sonic its own boss gameplay, complete with the side effects such as bumping using Jet Boost.
This character is much the opposite of the meme "the boss when you unlock him as a playable character"
