This is a sub-page of Sonic Robo Blast 2/Archived Versions.
Given that this version was made just a few months after development started, it's very primitive and has lots of Doom and Sonic Doom 2 content still in it.
Unused Objects#
Half-finished 10 ring, 25 ring and speed shoes monitors can be found unused. You can break them, but it is much harder and only possible from the side. They also do not give their respective rewards.
Unused Graphics#
Unused Sonic Waiting Animation#
Since Sonic doesn't have a waiting animation in this version, these sprites never get used.
These sprites would later be used in the Christmas Test demo and the March 2000 Build.
Unused Animal Sprites#
There are no enemies in this version that release animals upon defeat, however there is unused code and sprites for the animals.
Full Menu Cursor Animation#
Despite the cursor for the menus only having two frames, eight frames exist for it in the WAD file.

Sonic Doom 2 Leftovers#
Several menu graphics, mostly video-related, are leftover from Sonic Doom 2 in DOOM2.WAD.
Source Code Findings#
In the INFO.C and INFO.H files, sprite and state definitions for a "Yellow Shield", "Green Shield", and "Blue Shield" can be found.
Their graphics are also present in the Halloween 1.0 and 1.32 WAD files, however they are blanked out.

Revisional Differences#
Halloween v1.32#
In September 2000, a new version of Halloween Test was created, porting the game to 32-bit Windows (Win32), adding a second level, and allowing the game to be played on modern versions of Windows. Multiplayer functionality was also added.
