SRB2 Halloween is the first public version of SRB2, released in October 1999. Upon release, it had only been 45 days since the team had started coding SRB2 in Doom Legacy v1.28. The original release consisted of only one very basic unnamed level. The level made use of Doom Legacy's water and featured a maze section comprised of see-through bar textures which would later be used in Castle Eggman Zone Act 1. A later version, which is available from srb2.org, also included a second level, which more closely resembled SRB2's stages as they are now: It was much wider and longer than the other stage and featured multiple paths.

Halloween could be considered a very basic precursor to what is known as SRB2 today. A lot of the features back then still retained their Doom origins; at this stage, Sonic was the only playable character and could do little more than collect rings and jump. The release was intended more as a proof of concept than anything particularly playable.
