The 2.1 SRB2 Update

I had this dream where they updated SRB2 2.1 and added a new phase to the final boss:
Once you beat Metal Robotnik, you have to beat the previous bosses in reverse order, BUT-

Once you beat a boss, you get a special ability related to it, so:
- Castle Eggman's boss would give you a swinging mace
- Deep Sea's boss would give you missiles
- Techno Hill's would give you Mega Mack bombs
- Greenflower's would give you a laser shot (ala pre-2.1 GFZ3)

You would fight a more powerful Metal Sonic in between the Greenflower and Metal Robotnik 2 segments, and his normal attack would be the pinch attack instead.
As you fight Metal Sonic, the terrain would collapse, and once you defeat him, you get a laser beam that's an upgrade to the GFZ upgrade, and the terrain would fully fall, leading to a layout similar to Final Demo cez3, but this time, the upgrades are in mind and you need to attack Metal Robotnik from a distance

Extra notes: I wonder how that would look if that was an actual mod for the game.
