The idea of a Halloween-themed version of Clash was suggested by Andrew (aka Booncipe, online friend I met through working on Clash who agreed to help with the game's art), and I was pretty into the idea. The plan was to give Alpha 0.8 a similar makeover to Alpha 0.7's Christmas Edition, but to go further.
We would reskin characters to dress them up as villains from their respective series, add a "special candy item" that would let players use Final Smash-esque attacks, and create new stages including a ghost house from Super Mario World.
In my own words at the time:
"actually yeah, we have a lot more time now than we did with clash christmas, so we can add more stuff" - mook, 9/25/2016
We didn't, actually...
As you can see above, very little of that actually came to fruition. All we ended up getting done was some aesthetic changes, like the opening announcer clip, menu colors, and some stage backgrounds. Well, I say we, but it was actually Andrew that did all of that.
From what I can gather, it looks like Clash Halloween just didn't end up turning out how we'd imagined because I was busy working on other things. It could've been kinda cool but we will never ever get to see it happen. darn!!!!
