[Open Assets] Purple Rings - an SRB2 challenge mod 6.1

Hello!

1. 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
2. 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...

I would be genuinely impressed if someone managed to program planet gravity into the doom legacy engine

changes:

• Clones now respawn within a five second time frame, giving you plenty of time to recover while also still being a threat
• clones now also make their death noise when you hit them

side note for anybody reading this: there's a special surprise I have for all of you when Ring Racers gets a category on the MB.

So you know how Galaxy 1 has a similar thing with clones called Cosmic Mario?

I made it a skincolor for multiplayer!

I don't think it would be possible to have a galaxy within a player's skincolor like the original does, but I'm perfectly willing to be proven wrong if someone smarter than me would like to try.

I wanted to do this from the beginning; I added Mario & Luigi support to the mod!

basically, their sounds are replaced with their galaxy equivalents, including the cosmic clone's voice.

I finally found the ambient sound I was trying to look for. I had to rip the sound myself (not fun) because nobody else had done it before, so I hope that hour I took trying to find it out of the unnamed files of the game was worth it, because I'm not gonna do that again for a while.

• added a music replacement for mariomode invincibility, using SMG's invincibility theme instead
• all music has been compressed a bit for better performance

changelog:
Thanks to the help of Romoney5, the mod has been given optimizations as well as the following changes:

• added visual flair to the HUD (the text glows when you collect purple rings)
• tweaked/remade music
• tweaked the screen visual to more closely resemble how it looks in Mario Galaxy
• removed the "get [x] spheres!" prompt (didn't know that could be done)
• squashed most of the bugs

lmk if I anything comes up, but I believe we should be good

Spoiler: Palette translations I've made for you to use (If you want to)

I've made two Cosmic Clones palette translations for you to use, changing white-black colors to yellow.
One of them also colorizes any other color to red, while the other doesn't so you can colorize it with any color.

Translation String (No red): "0:31=73:76"
Translation String (Red included): "0:31=73:76", "32:47=111:96", "48:63=47:40", "64:71=47:32", "72:79=47:32", "80:87=47:32", "88:95=47:32", "96:111=47:32", "112:119=47:32", "120:127=47:32", "128:139=47:32", "140:143=43:36", "144:159=47:32", "160:169=47:32", "170:175=43:34", "176:187=47:32", "188:191=43:36", "192:199=47:32", "200:207=47:32", "208:215=47:34", "216:223=47:40", "224:239=39:32", "240:251=43:32", "252:252=47:47", "253:253=34:34", "254:254=32:32"
