View Part One of this video on RubberDuckyCooly's channel - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=94jPUjrQqjo

While RubberDuckyCooly was playing around with Mania, he activated a "developer" platform (compared to the normal PC, Switch, PS4, and XBO platforms). This developer platform is essentially the same as the PC platform, but pressing the key bound to the "Z" button allows you to switch between Mania and Encore modes while playing a level.

This switch sometimes "messes up" in levels due to the differences in how Mania handles palettes in Encore vs. Mania modes. So, in most levels, the palette does not fully swap back to the Mania Mode palette. This video showcases some levels where it swaps back correctly.

The developer platform also enables a Vape Mode flag in the Debug Flags in the Dev Menu.

Want to try this yourself? The "Platform" setting is now available in "Options" in the Mania Mod Loader.

After installing, the Mod Loader may ask you to update and will do so automatically when you click yes.
