This a new transformation for Sonic (modded or otherwise), significantly boosting abilities far beyond what players would usually be expected to handle normally. Pushing the limits of what you can do is the name of the game! Don't get cocky, you're not invincible and will lose your form in 2 hits. While Super Mystic, your own limits as a player define what Sonic can do rather than the game's set pieces. It's a chance to unleash him as that action superhero Sonic's always shown off to be, but rarely let you actually play as
Features:
- The ability to transform from practically any version of Sonic. Yes, including modded ones.
- The fastest character in SRB2! Ever wondered what it'd be like to play as the Sonic shown in cutscenes and shows? SMS lets you become that supersonic superhero!
- A humongous amount of methods to style on levels and enemies alike, custom menu options, cooperative aids, to let you play in your own style.
- Hyper Mystic Sonic, AKA HMS! If an unbound Sonic wasn't wild enough, make Dragonball blush with the most powerful, spectacular transformation in SRB2!
CONTROLS:
-HMS can now spamdash by mashing spin.
GAMEPLAY:
-SMS' initial walljump now gets reduced penalty when close to a death pit.
-Buffed momentum scaling from upwards momentum on your initial walljump speed+height (like when walljumping from slopes/springs)
-In coop/SP, SMS now gains an extra burst of invincibility if he successfully dodges through obstacles. This has a 2 second cooldown.
MOD SUPPORT:
-SMS now has modified boost physics if Xmomentum(v1.3 or higher!) is added.
-Chaos Mode now uses SMS' Single Player/COOP parameters, but locks HMS until you've obtained all 7 Chaos Emeralds!
VISUAL:
-Camera now zooms out for players that get thrown ridiculously hard by HMS.
BUG FIXES:
-Fixed a colorswap glitch when switching stages/untransforming, that usually happened in the initial bootup stage.
-Fixed SMS weapon ring restrictions passing to others in Match. ...whoops...
-Adjusted Walljump penalties being too high in some modded stages.(Like the 2023 OLDC hub)
-Corrected the flip jump acting glitchy underwater. It wasn't intended to be available underwater initially.
-Fixed rare "unknown sprite frame ELAU" error. ...probably!
-Disabled HMS music transitioning system once again because there still seems to be music issues.
-Cleared some redundant freeslots.

-Cleared some redundant freeslots.
-MANY code optimizations! Re-ordered code. Decreased redundant checks/collission code/data saved. Merged hooks. Incorporated more efficient object searchers. Spaced GFX apart better. Replaced RNG seed calls...and MUCH more. This is huge for performance & netcode strain, and is what allows the fancy new GFX!
-Fixed netgame desyncs originating from sound checks and minecarts.
-1 HMS now counts as 5 players for the auto graphics system.
-The enemy gibs system is now smarter adjusting to the game's current strain.
-Disabled music-continuing/fading features if you're still in 2.2.11 since Lua's music functions are crash-prone.

-You now auto save when you leave the menu.
-You'll no longer take over the server's admin-locked settings when you save now.
-Simple Haymaker controls are now the default option.
-Added option for old Air Boost Controls. Instant is now the default.
-Added option for old Homing Attack Controls. Simple is the new default.
-Removed fake analog options for homing attack and footsweep. This solution existed because analogmode sucked ass, but I'm confident enough now in SMS' analog controls now that these are no longer a necessary compromise.
-Removed the alternate double-tap SPIN Atom Dive method. It got in the way of the new walljumping style.

-The HUD displays a walljump penalty circle. The higher the penalty, the less powerful your walljump will be.
-Added a tiny boostlevel meter. When this bar is full, you'll be in boostmode! Also displays if Ring Burst is ready.
-Added a bunch of context-sensitive moves on the HUD, mostly the ones I thought non-experimental players might miss. A tutorial "lite", if you will! You can still use the mega screenfill list of moves tutorial, but it'll deactivate this new less-intrusive HUD when active.
-If no save file exists, you'll receive a prompt to touch the Mystic Emerald for the menu.
-Added alot of minor sound/visual cues to better convey when actions are or aren't available.

-Vastly improved SMS' responsiveness + accuracy with Analog Sticks. SMS in Simple Mode is actually playable now.
-Air Boosts now activate instantly. (Old double-tap method is toggleable in the menu, though not recommended!)
-Walljumps are now activated by tapping spin. The OG method of thokking into walls works too, but exclusively targets walls in front of you! You can't sideflip that way.
-SMS now always homing attacks when able with the jump button. The Brake Multi-Thok remains possible. (Old method is toggleable in the menu)
-All control schemes can now press spin without holding any directions to turn their rolling state into a spincharge.
-Quickly tapping the Atom Dive button (Weapon Prev/Toss Flag) now auto-launches you with SMS' Drop Dash readied.
-Atom Dive + Novablast custom cameras now auto-activate & auto-cancel depending on your movement rather than asking for CUSTOM3.

-Pro Haymaker controls no longer require holding CUSTOM1, nor prevents you from stomping with no target in range.(Easy is default)
-The Ring Burst's horizontal phase now activates with JUMP or SPIN. The forward-tap method is gone, it led to FAR too many accidents/confused players.

-Hold and release spin to walljump. SMS doesn't need to face a wall. Most airborne states work, even airboost/stomp/thok/spring/fall frames.
-The walljump no longer delays before activating, its inputs are buffered, travel speed is buffed, and it handles better with all control schemes.
-Cooldowns no longer exist. Your height gained is instead penalized based on repeatedly walljumping off similarly-angled walls + your action state(*stomping/airboosting/thokking/etc*). Penalties build up each walljump and decrease overtime. Penalties fully disappear when hitting springs/enemies/floors.
-The direction SMS jumps into is based off the wall's angle + your movement input. (It's no longer based on camera angle!)
-Vertical momentum can both positively or negatively affect your jumpheight. Boostmode gives extra jump distance+speed.
-SMS' legend mode walljump is untouched.
-There are 6 walljump variations. Each offer different advantages, and you're penalized less for switching things up within a wall-jump chain:

-Super Straight Jump: Sacrifice boostmode to supercharge your Straight Jump! Ignores alot of your current walljump penalty.
-Wall Bounce: Hold sideways from the wall in front of SMS. Has the most distance+speed, but bad height + penalty. Useful for strafing around pillars & corners.
-Turnaround WallJump: Don't tilt the stick / hold the stick back from a wall in front of SMS. Most well rounded. Useful for climbing vertically in large walljump chains.
-Side Flip / Hand Jump: Jump from a wall to SMS' side. Has furthest reach towards the wall. Medium stats. Visual trick varies by height gained.
-Back Kick Jump: Jump from the wall behind SMS. Great height, medium distance, lowest penalty. Useful for recovering from harsh penalties & staying airborne.

-The Walljump is COMPLETELY revamped into a snappier, more versatile version sporting several context-dependant variations.
-Dodge Leap! Turns a previous exploit into an animated move with special properties. Press jump right as you dodge for a powerful burstleap!
-Rapid Stomp! Mid-stomp, mash custom 2 to convert some horizontal momentum into vertical momentum. Your landing impact powers up as well once you gain enough speed!
-Homing Bolt! When in boostmode, homing attacks turn SMS into a bolt of lightning capable of aiming upwards, reaching further, and striking with intense speed!
-Create Shield: Crouch and press custom3 to turn your shield into a usable monitor! This costs 10 rings.

-Resolved issues where SMS could retain some airborne animations on the floor.
-Drifting GFX/SFX no longer acts awkward with certain control settings.
-Fixed SMS flying out of control when mashing jump on springs. You could've called this one a "tech", but it happened too easily by accident and felt too much like a glitch in the matrix, so sorry about that!
-SMS 2.5's new aura should now properly align in cases where it didn't before.
-Fixed some sprite freeslot interference if SMS was added after Adventure Sonic or Samus.
-Removed "stompjumping", which was usually harmless but got in the way of dodging at times and looked confusing.

-Disabled the Golden Shoes' Light Speed Attack. I didn't have time to fix and maintain it, unfortunately. Maybe I'll bring it back later!
-I future-proofed SMS 3.0 for SRB2 2.2.12, but as a result, SMS uses very simple wall-busting code in 2.2.11 compatibility mode. Until 2.2.12 comes around, you can just casually walk through strong-walls.

-Experimental jump timing assist! Jump a few frames **after** walking off ledges off ledges. Good for those times your feet can barely tap the ground. Which is often as SMS.
--Experimental High-speed wall-collision steering-assist. Tell me how it feels!
--Curling from a spring with jump now insta-thoks
--Fixed bug with models.
--Compatible with 2.2.9 and hopefully future versions.

-Made 34 extra skincolors, mostly to add pulsing color options and a proper default palette that isn't just Super Sonic's. Other
characters may access these too.
-Added an admin option to turn pulsing colors off. This may ease RESYNC issues if you're getting those!
-SMS technically now supports Battlemod 8.3, though I'm dropping future Battlemod support, and recommend playing 6.1 from here on out for optimal games with SMS.
-Bandages(Sonic Boom Sonic) can now transform into SMS.
-Minor bugfixes for dedicated servers, some wad combinations, etc etc.
This version uses a different I/O file, so don't forget to save your favorite settings again.

-If you've never saved options, you'll now get assigned a random SMS color outside of coop modes when joining a game.
(Battle Mode)
-New critical combo mechanic! Any strong stun you afflict on SMS players will now become a critical stun. Hit SMS during this stun for a critical FINISHER, sending him flying and gaining you even more bonus points! This mechanic should allow non-SMS players to be much more aggressive, and also make it alot more fun to fight SMS in general. Aim to clash your attacks as hard as you can with SMS, as this will now give you the advantage and open opportunities!
-SMS' stomp now bounces a bit unless moving very fast to present clearer openings.
-If Fang is firmly grounded, neither shooting or sprinting, he can now resist SMS' spin-type attacks much like Knuckles.
-SMS is now refunded up to 10 rings when detransformed by a non-critical finish depending on ring count before getting hit. He also gets a pity or force shield depending on ring count. This should make it easier to get back into the game in busy netgames.
-SMS' flames inflict a more stun.

-Your preferences can now be saved. Use "Save Config" in the SMSreborn menu. I suggest not doing this as a joiner, because it'll save the host's Admin settings from that game.

Giveaway name aside, he's widely known for being THE fastest most intense SRB2 character, with every GIF and trailer showing as such. How did NONE of this serve as adequate warning?
And since you found this so problematic, how did you not ONCE try to look into the options to turn down effects or try to turn off screenshakes? If your eyes seriously hurt for a solid 20 minutes, you need to be honest with yourself and take your health issues seriously. There's no world where you're "not photosensitive at all"
