though considering jun ishikawa worked on both KD3 and KSS it was probably easy for tobyfox to use samples from both (there's even a possibility that the alcahest is involved here too, since that was jun ishikawa trying to be edgy but still maintaining use of the same strings)
And its all because of a kirby sound font If it was something else then people everywhere in these comments wouldn’t be all over the fact that its a kirby sound font
People give Toby a lot of flack for re-using old melodies, but honestly, his work is so good I’m not surprised he’d want to recycle some old themes when more serious opportunities presented themselves.
For the first part of the song, it uses the soundfont of Revenge of Meta Knight from Kirby Super Star (most obvious in its opening cutscene). After that, it uses soundfonts used throughout Kirby's Dream Land 3. Edit: Actually, it uses all Dream Land 3 soundfonts. Yes, the beginning soundfont is found in RoMK, but it is also in Iceberg's map.
Can't help but wonder if Toby took some inspiration from Nightmare Knight's dilemma in Cucumber Quest for the Knight in Deltarune. The Knight could be a lightner who, similar to the group at the end of Chapter 2, wanted to create a bunch of fictional worlds as a method of escaping the real world and living a better life. Either they want to maintain the fountains as a way of keeping all of their new friends with them, or they want to replace the current world with one giant dark world; hence why they're trying to bring more fountains into existence. Completely supplanting a harsh reality with their escapist fantasy.
@@AmalgamJiena everyone's completely ignoring alphys. she was the 2nd biggest player in the main events of undertale and the 1st biggest just made ground for her before dissapearing into his own creation. i think such an order would probably be the same in deltarune.
@@AmalgamJiena if it happens, it would be a PERFECT anime plot twist and papyrus kind of, sticks out too much. id say in deltarune hes just a neckbeard that would somehow prove EXTREMELY strong in the dark world remember, shes the one who sent the weird kid and the possibly homocidal kid together alone to the closet then didnt even bother to look or check up on their parents the WHOLE DAY
If Toby reused melodies from his own songs, does that mean he basically inspired himself I guess Undertale and DeltaRune are basically Cucumberstuck now
Interesting, the song is called “Nightmare Knight” And has some Deltarune leitmotifs. Characters in Deltarune kept referring to “The Knight” and how he has appeared. I wonder...
"From now a nightmare will awaken in your hearts. In the shadow of the knights hand... Lighteners, can you stop it?" and "You're fast, fast, strong, strong. But there are yet faster, yet stronger. The hand of the knight is drifting forward. Soon, the "Queen" returns, and hell's roar bubbles from the depths... Lighteners, can you stop it?"
This song is such a _banger._ I just can’t get over it. It uses so many complicated rhythms, a fast pace, and a ton of power behind it. It perfectly encapsulates this dreamy feeling of fighting a knight of nightmares! Plus it uses Kirby soundfonts! And, if the hints to the Knight and the recurring use of a motif from this song in Deltarune mean anything, just like Megalovania I think, at least I hope to dog we might get a remake of this thing! Please Toby make it happen! Edit: Coming back to this song a year later with Chapter 2's release: Attack of the Killer Queen uses part of this song (1:29, it's easier to hear if you compare it to The World Revolving) right at the end of it, and considering her whole inspiration for creating more Dark Fountains was the Knight... yeah we're totally getting more of this song. I can't wait! :D
this song is from before Deltarune. Just like how Megalovania appeared in Earthbound Halloween Hack long before Toby even had the thought of making a game anything even remotely like Undertale.
I love how every time I find a new song by Toby, there's a 100% guarantee that it's made using a soundfont from an SNES game. That's certainly not a bad thing, of course. Anyway, I've been meaning to read Cucumber Quest and this guy's one of the big reasons why. He just seems so damn cool. I'm in love with all the villain designs I've seen from the comic.
I know about Megalovania being from the Earthbound Halloween Hack, but where did all of his other songs like Bentrucking Asgore, Heartache ,The World Revolving, Bonetrousle, Chaos King, A Battle Against A True Hero and more come from?
@@monsterman2.0yt6 Truly, all were just remixes of the original megalovania. Just switch some of the notes around and also the instruments and also the theme and also the length of the song and also the length of the notes and also the BPM and you have yourself each song!
You know, its a goddamn shame that the comic got on an indefinite hiatus or basically it got canceled, i would have loved to hear a dub from SungWon of the Nightmare Knight talk with the Quakemaster. It would have been GORGEOUS! Too bad...
i love deltarune but i wish more people were talking about the actual comic instead of deltarune, its so good and doesn't get enough attention not to mention the nightmare knight is one of my favorite characters in all of fiction
The Kirby soundfont really conveys a whimsical and dreamy feeling, while the composition and rythm gives the sensation of finality and danger. It sounds like an alternative theme for the Zero boss battle in the hyper zone.
it's amazing when composers manage to recreate perfectly the feel of a game using its soundfont, i used to think this sounds sounded so good because the cool soundfonts used, but now that i have a lot more experience with music and soundfonts i know it actually doesn't have any weight if its not used correctly, even if the soundfont has good sounds
The usage of Kirby's Dreamland 3's soundfont clearly means that Dark Matter will play a role in DeltaRune's story Maybe the new Sans is Ness theory will be "Gaster is Dark Matter"
This song is heavily inspired by Kirby, obviously by the font. But…there is one thing I can’t unhear once I realized it: the melody is basically a darker version of Grassland 1 from Kirby’s Dreamland 3. Very cool!
Frisky Scarfy (after two months, and you don't care about CQ anymore, but still...) Most of Toby Fox's music is like that. I suggest you to hear his Homestuck tracks, absolutely amazing (Moonsetter is the best, in my opinion).
I mean that's the Kirby style for you. Kirby Music is a joy to listen to as always, and Toby making a Kirby styled Battle theme is an excellent combination
@@Gabsagainstgod It's hard to say "the best" when you have MeGaLovania, Liquid Negrocity, Black, Savior of the Waking World, Descend, Keepers, English, Umbral Ultimatum, Octoroom rangoon, Killed by BR8K SPIDER !!!!!!!!, etc.
Lots of people have been mentioning Amalgamate at the beginning, and The Door/The Chase/THE WORLD REVOLVING later on. For some reason, the chords at 0:42 remind me of Gravity Falls, and the bit initially appearing at 1:53 is somewhat similar in rhythm to Heartache.
Love this comic to the core.... Like The colours, the story, the characters and their designs.... Everything is so good. Gigi DG is one of my biggest inspirations ever
@@DmitriDmitri Not really. Undertale can influence some bad things on already amazing projects. Not saying Undertale is bad, but Undertale can do some bad things to y'know, those things... Take that Friendship theme by Toby Fox. It was put into Undertale Red, a fan game, and now it's completely associated with Undertale! I just think that sometimes projects need to stay individually by themselves, if you get what I mean, I guess.
If I must fight...if I must repeat this cycle again and again, never stopping to think of why... Let it be for my creations. For my friends. Let it not be for the 8-bit fools who seek my power for conquest or fulfillment, nor for whatever foul manipulator lies behind the scenes. Let it be for the six beings that care about me as much as I do about them. Also Glitchmaster.
Glitchmaster - What?!? Because I didn't decipher the Nightmare Knight's complex true motives hidden under a dummy thick (with a K) blacket of lies, Rosemaster refused to let me murder her possible love interest? Glitchmaster best boi
This would make sense as the deltarune final boss, as the main antagonist is hinted at being the Knight, and Toby said that the ending was from a fever dream he had.
The knight...The roaring Knight, is not my real form. I am the vessel that you created, but i'm not you. The soul that makes you control Kris is not his own soul, but YOURS. The same soul that controlled Frisk is in Kris now. You, the player, are nothing more that the brain. But i'm the muscle. And the muscle can eradicate the brain. Without you, i will control the game, the save files and your console. I. AM. "INSERT NAME OF THE CREATOR OF THE VESSEL"!
@@joutakujo9773 what i wrote was the (possible) dialogue of a fight against the Knight. Yes, we don't know who rhe Knight is, but have you ever wondered what was the utility of our vessel?
people acting like toby fox reusing parts of different songs is lazy but like. Reorchestrating a song or reusing pieces from one song to make something entirely new isn't a bad thing nor is it lazy especially when the quality of his work is so GOOD. I love this and you know??? Toby's songs are always capable of invoking emotions and filling me with great vibes. utilizing kirby sounds just shows he has GOOD TASTE.
As lazy as it seems, leitmotif is actually rather difficult to pull off sometimes. The fact that Toby Fox is so damn good at it only adds to the infinite reasons why I admire him and his music so much.
I don't think I should be too surprised that Toby Fox is able to replicate the style associated with Kirby music. After all, he's proven time and time again that he is NOT one to be underestimated. Also, why do I get the feeling that this tune would be perfect for a hypothetical fight with some sort of fusion of Meta Knight and Nightmare?
Nightmare Knight might unironically be my favorite Toby Fox song, although to be fair there's so many Toby Fox songs that I feel like I've said that about like... at least 4 or 5
Oooh how neat, 02:36 sounds a little bit like Undertale's "Amalgam" song. It's always so fun seeing how Toby Fox's past work influences his stuff in future pieces!
i'm not falling for your tricks. all that know , know that part of this plays in that one chase track. you ain't slick , acrons. edit: also i saw your other comment , THE ONE *3 DAYS* BEFORE THIS ONE YOU AIN'T SLICK X2
It's also in "THE WORLD REVOLVING" which also happens to be another antagonist's theme. I find it really interesting that the villains, (admittedly, not the king.) have a similar jingle to the nightmare knight theme. Not only that, but there is also mention of a "knight", who's probably going to be a bad guy, if not, THE bad guy. "The knight" did do something to Jevil, so the theme is present. I'm just saying, if the night makes an appearance and this song is his theme, you read it here first.
@@acronscawlernc6697 yeah sure i'm just correcting you. seam specifically says that Jevil met a stranger , and since then Jevil's view of the world has gotten "darker yet darker" or something like that , a line connected directly to Gaster.
I know this isnt related to deltarune, but i hate how well it fits. Composed by toby fox Using Leitmotifs that appear in deltarune The name of the song is NIGHTMARE KNIGHT, when a highly anticipated/mysterious character is the KNIGHT, and dark worlds are implied to have some connection to dreams/nightmares, with multiple characters referring to them as a dream or nightmare
@@invalid_user_handle while you're not wrong about Toby putting a lot of emphasis into the metanarratives of UTDR, I don't see how that specific aspect has to do with Nightmare Knight's inclusion.
Toby Fox really is the pinacle of "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" He's used Megalovania for 3 separate projects, re-used Noisemaster's theme for Mettaton, and only now am I finding out he used motifs from Nightmare Knight for several UTDR tracks
-early Kirby games soundfont -overly badass character in a pretty "goofy" universe -nightmare and knight in the same sentence -has some deltarune leitmotiv, meaning it could be linked to future chapters of deltarune in some way yup, Deltarune is a kirby game
I don't know why but I believe Nightmare Knight was another person before he was Nightmare Knight. You know, before the first time he was summoned by disaster stones.
SPOILERS... Steve aint that much of a bad guy... EVEN MORE SPOILERS EDIT: looks like he wasnt Steve afterall! But again, he doesnt seem like a bad guy :p
What are the odds that this gets remixed for the inevitable “knight” boss fight in Deltarune? (Yes, I’m aware parts of this leitmotif are used in “the chase” but it would be cool for this song to make an actual reprisal)
Those synths at the very beginning are taken straight out of the Revenge of Meta Knight intro theme, and the rest of the song is straight up in the Kirby's Dreamland 3 soundfont, with a hint of that game's Grass Land melody thrown in. Toby really just made an SNES era Kirby song from the ground up and didn't tell us.
I know this song uses Dream Land 3's soundfont, but something I just now realized while listening to that game's soundtrack is that 1:12 is extremely similar to the miniboss battle theme from it
the sparkling melodie part will totally be used in deltarune's fight against the knight, specially since it is followed by one of the most used motifs in deltarune. MARK MY WORDS
@@ivythay4259 I mean, Toby made this song because he liked cucumber quest, and you can also tell that cucumber quest inspired him as a writer, as many details in the story and world of Deltarune are very similar to aspects of cucumber quest
Thanks Chuck Norris, I really needed this reminder right now. I'm so distracted all the time, it's so rare for me to manage to focus on just one thing. I was scrolling the comments while listening instead of just listening...
Seeing Cucumber Quest's art is pretty nice and I can totally see this guy as the final boss. He even has a soft side to match nice guy redemption arc in the Cucumber Quest story
@@judewelos As a person who is a fan of the webcomic/novel I agree, it's fine for him to reuse songs, he made these songs after all, plus him using his CQ fansongs as leitmotifs for his games is making people discover Cucumber Quest, and that's pretty cool, there are more reasons I have but I digress
People keep yelling about the Kirby sound font, and I can hear it too... Now I know what this might mean... -TOBY FOX IS ALSO A KIRBY FAN!- Or he may not be, you never know.
I love how menacingly the end of the song sounds, like if something huge charged directly at you. I don't know how everybody, but I felt genuinely terrified at the first time I heard this, in a good way though.
Honestly, Nintendo needs to contact Toby Fox if they decide to make a new pixel-styled Kirby game. I would pay good money to play a Kirby game if all of the music composed by Toby. He is a musical god.
Everyone here is talking about deltarune and stuff so much that i can only see sparce comments taking about cucumber quest, a webcomic that this song was based on :/
"Okay, we've finally arrived. It's time to fight the Nightmare Knight! So, should we say something, or-" "You got this bro." "Nightmare Knight! The time has come! We, uh, won't let you cause any more destruction. E-even if you aren't actually doing much! ... You're a blight on the world! Everyone thinks you are terrible! You smell like swiss cheese on a hot day!" < Blank stare > "You, you... I tried your macaron recipe without letting them rise, and they tasted terrible! Your macarons aren't any better than the ones at the store!" *Nightmare Knight: **0:08*
Sounds like a kirby boss fight.
it uses kirby''s dreamland 3 samples
You fool, know your samples this is used from The Revenge of Meta Knight

This song is heavily inspired by Kirby, obviously by the font. But…there is one thing I can’t unhear once I realized it: the melody is basically a darker version of Grassland 1 from Kirby’s Dreamland 3. Very cool!
I noticed that too!
Cucumber quest is such a "Kirby's Dreamland 3 soundfont" kind of comic lol
And in retrospect, it does kinda look like Dreamland 3 in terms of art style.
Mod that replaces void termina (first phase) with nightmare knight please.
is it just me? or this song feels so good to hear?
Frisky Scarfy (after two months, and you don't care about CQ anymore, but still...) Most of Toby Fox's music is like that.
I suggest you to hear his Homestuck tracks, absolutely amazing (Moonsetter is the best, in my opinion).
I mean that's the Kirby style for you. Kirby Music is a joy to listen to as always, and Toby making a Kirby styled Battle theme is an excellent combination
This is toby Fox music
No, you’re the only one, everyone else just came to this video to not listen to it
@@Gabsagainstgod It's hard to say "the best" when you have MeGaLovania, Liquid Negrocity, Black, Savior of the Waking World, Descend, Keepers, English, Umbral Ultimatum, Octoroom rangoon, Killed by BR8K SPIDER !!!!!!!!, etc.
That "Boinwwp" near the end of the tracks hits so hard, it just fills my body with chills and determination
tru
I wouldn't be surprised if this Toby remix this song for Deltarune *knight theme* but if it is true then that will be cool with the vibes there
its already in the game
Lots of people have been mentioning Amalgamate at the beginning, and The Door/The Chase/THE WORLD REVOLVING later on. For some reason, the chords at 0:42 remind me of Gravity Falls, and the bit initially appearing at 1:53 is somewhat similar in rhythm to Heartache.
True
True.
I think I hear a bit of THE HOLY in there too, around the same time where you hear Heartache.
True
One word
Kirby
Waiting for THE KNIGHT to show up in Deltarune with this one in the background. 🗣🗣🗣🔥🔥🔥
Love this comic to the core.... Like
The colours, the story, the characters and their designs.... Everything is so good. Gigi DG is one of my biggest inspirations ever
I agree! The comic is SO GOOD! I can't wait for it to become as popular as Undertale!
@@DmitriDmitri Not really. Undertale can influence some bad things on already amazing projects. Not saying Undertale is bad, but Undertale can do some bad things to y'know, those things... Take that Friendship theme by Toby Fox. It was put into Undertale Red, a fan game, and now it's completely associated with Undertale! I just think that sometimes projects need to stay individually by themselves, if you get what I mean, I guess.
@@RedVelocity "associated with undertale"=AUTO BAD
It’s not only the soundfont; the melody at 1:00 should seem familiar to anyone who’s ever played Kirby 64...
i remember spending hours playing kirby 64! the blackish robot planet made my life hell as a kid
Which song is that part similar to?
@@robertlupa8273 yo mama 😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳
@@Ticklebrush Haha, very funny. Now serious answer please.
@@robertlupa8273 thats what she said 😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏
Toby fix actually made all the music in the universe he just had to give credit to others so people wouldn’t stalk him
If I must fight...if I must repeat this cycle again and again, never stopping to think of why...
Let it be for my creations. For my friends.
Let it not be for the 8-bit fools who seek my power for conquest or fulfillment, nor for whatever foul manipulator lies behind the scenes.
Let it be for the six beings that care about me as much as I do about them. Also Glitchmaster.
Finally, a quote not from Deltarune or Undertale
Glitchmaster - What?!? Because I didn't decipher the Nightmare Knight's complex true motives hidden under a dummy thick (with a K) blacket of lies, Rosemaster refused to let me murder her possible love interest?
Glitchmaster best boi
Well mistmaster must have some beef against nightmare knight after what happened
We now know the "Song That Might Play When You Fight" the knight in deltarune
This would make sense as the deltarune final boss, as the main antagonist is hinted at being the Knight, and Toby said that the ending was from a fever dream he had.
You can hear twinges of regret in this song.
frosticake I thought they meant from him being bad and all .-.
@@teatree_ jeeze your opinions must be pretty poor
@@teatree_ he probs regret the fanbase
@@teatree_ He probably regrets making Undertale because the fanbase keeps bringing it up in all of his other works.
@@user-wx2ek3uv1i Okay bear with me, but his newest works are all basically undertale related, so you have to see why xD
A Cucumber Quest video game needs to happen just saying
Squid Inker yess
Absolutely! It HAS to be an RPG, the webcomic is clearly inspired by Paper Mario.
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
OMG THANK YOU
This hits differently after finishing Chapter 2 of Deltarune.

The knight...The roaring Knight, is not my real form. I am the vessel that you created, but i'm not you. The soul that makes you control Kris is not his own soul, but YOURS. The same soul that controlled Frisk is in Kris now. You, the player, are nothing more that the brain. But i'm the muscle. And the muscle can eradicate the brain. Without you, i will control the game, the save files and your console. I. AM. "INSERT NAME OF THE CREATOR OF THE VESSEL"!
Not really? We still don't know who the Knight is.
@@joutakujo9773 what i wrote was the (possible) dialogue of a fight against the Knight. Yes, we don't know who rhe Knight is, but have you ever wondered what was the utility of our vessel?
@@gasterthemaster6490 I. AM. KRIS!
Ralsei: Kris?! But we already have a kris!
Susie: Yeah, like we will believe that YOU were the original!
Gotta love that KSS soundfont.
HEART HEAVY it sounds like KSS KD3 and K64
people acting like toby fox reusing parts of different songs is lazy but like. Reorchestrating a song or reusing pieces from one song to make something entirely new isn't a bad thing nor is it lazy especially when the quality of his work is so GOOD. I love this and you know??? Toby's songs are always capable of invoking emotions and filling me with great vibes. utilizing kirby sounds just shows he has GOOD TASTE.
As lazy as it seems, leitmotif is actually rather difficult to pull off sometimes. The fact that Toby Fox is so damn good at it only adds to the infinite reasons why I admire him and his music so much.
I don't think I should be too surprised that Toby Fox is able to replicate the style associated with Kirby music. After all, he's proven time and time again that he is NOT one to be underestimated.
Also, why do I get the feeling that this tune would be perfect for a hypothetical fight with some sort of fusion of Meta Knight and Nightmare?
*theme for the knight in Deltarune*
Pfp.
Nightmare Knight might unironically be my favorite Toby Fox song, although to be fair there's so many Toby Fox songs that I feel like I've said that about like... at least 4 or 5
Oooh how neat, 02:36 sounds a little bit like Undertale's "Amalgam" song. It's always so fun seeing how Toby Fox's past work influences his stuff in future pieces!
This song will, in some way, be used in Deltarune. Mark my words. And if they're wrong, please erase them.
i'm not falling for your tricks.
all that know , know that part of this plays in that one chase track.
you ain't slick , acrons.
edit: also i saw your other comment , THE ONE *3 DAYS* BEFORE THIS ONE
YOU AIN'T SLICK X2
It's also in "THE WORLD REVOLVING" which also happens to be another antagonist's theme.
I find it really interesting that the villains, (admittedly, not the king.) have a similar jingle to the nightmare knight theme. Not only that, but there is also mention of a "knight", who's probably going to be a bad guy, if not, THE bad guy. "The knight" did do something to Jevil, so the theme is present. I'm just saying, if the night makes an appearance and this song is his theme, you read it here first.
@@acronscawlernc6697
the knight didn't do anything to Jevil , Gaster made him the way he is.
I would appreciate it if you would stop harassing me, and just write about the song and the possibility of its return. Thank you.
@@acronscawlernc6697
yeah sure i'm just correcting you.
seam specifically says that Jevil met a stranger , and since then Jevil's view of the world has gotten "darker yet darker" or something like that , a line connected directly to Gaster.
Watch this song become the Megalovania of Deltarune, when we eventually get to fight the roaring knight.
I wonder if he’ll use some iteration of this when we meet the knight in deltarune
Say what you want about his game, but when it comes to music, Toby is a genius.
Are you implying that undertale isn’t one of best games of the last decade?
I know this isnt related to deltarune, but i hate how well it fits.
Composed by toby fox
Using Leitmotifs that appear in deltarune
The name of the song is NIGHTMARE KNIGHT, when a highly anticipated/mysterious character is the KNIGHT, and dark worlds are implied to have some connection to dreams/nightmares, with multiple characters referring to them as a dream or nightmare
You just explained how it is related to Deltarune.
Toby's gone way too far into the meta aspects for this to somehow *NOT* be related to Deltarune, it's clear he's been plotting this for a while.
@@invalid_user_handle while you're not wrong about Toby putting a lot of emphasis into the metanarratives of UTDR, I don't see how that specific aspect has to do with Nightmare Knight's inclusion.
Toby Fox really is the pinacle of "if it ain't broke, don't fix it"
He's used Megalovania for 3 separate projects, re-used Noisemaster's theme for Mettaton, and only now am I finding out he used motifs from Nightmare Knight for several UTDR tracks
-early Kirby games soundfont
-overly badass character in a pretty "goofy" universe
-nightmare and knight in the same sentence
-has some deltarune leitmotiv, meaning it could be linked to future chapters of deltarune in some way
yup, Deltarune is a kirby game
Don't forget Spamton and Jevil's pure existence
@@starrodpiplup and a being with darkness powers so intense you must armor yourself against them.
it could have been named The KNIGHTmare
nightmare knight is actually a big softie the more you read the comic
that's why the song has a tragic feel to it
The most recent intermission confirms that, mostly 'cause it's really just Parfait and Nightmare Knight talking.
I don't know why but I believe Nightmare Knight was another person before he was Nightmare Knight. You know, before the first time he was summoned by disaster stones.
SPOILERS...
Steve aint that much of a bad guy...
EVEN MORE SPOILERS EDIT: looks like he wasnt Steve afterall! But again, he doesnt seem like a bad guy :p

Dang, good ear.
i knew i heard chaos king
You already know that if Toby has a good song that he hasn’t used or remixed yet, the eventual payoff will be amazing.
It's used in a couple songs actually
th-cam.com/play/PL0_zW2_l5tPwqxcnSqGtArPpFGb7NpWPs.html
Can we get an F in chat for the comic being cancelled 😔😔 this comic was so good
It's not cancelled it's just on a hiatus until Gigi completes it in the new script format
it's over this guy is the knight
What are the odds that this gets remixed for the inevitable “knight” boss fight in Deltarune? (Yes, I’m aware parts of this leitmotif are used in “the chase” but it would be cool for this song to make an actual reprisal)
Also leitmotif on "Dark Truth" wich really relates to the knight and whole Roaring thingy
Those synths at the very beginning are taken straight out of the Revenge of Meta Knight intro theme, and the rest of the song is straight up in the Kirby's Dreamland 3 soundfont, with a hint of that game's Grass Land melody thrown in. Toby really just made an SNES era Kirby song from the ground up and didn't tell us.
I really hope some part of this is used as a motief in the deltarune Kight theme (if we get one).
I know this song uses Dream Land 3's soundfont, but something I just now realized while listening to that game's soundtrack is that 1:12 is extremely similar to the miniboss battle theme from it
"Make a bad song or draw 25"
Toby Fox: (reaching over to the draw deck)
this one is my jam
Hi
0:35 sound like Milkyway Wishes
:v era broma men,el dia que exista Kirbytale me suicido
@@omegawarp5935 si ya existe Kirbytale pero por favor no te suicides
I can feel toby fox straining himself to not play Meta Knight's Revenge
the sparkling melodie part will totally be used in deltarune's fight against the knight, specially since it is followed by one of the most used motifs in deltarune. MARK MY WORDS
Am I the only one that also hears a bit of Amalgam in this? Especially at around 0:23
Eu tinha escutado essa música a 1 ano atrás, eu sabia que não era o único que tinha visto uma semelhança entre as músicas
I started reading Cucumber Quest recently (because of this song) and much like Earthbound, you can really tell that Toby Fox was inspired by it.
True but how can you not look at the omnipresent malfunction sphere's segments in cucumber quest and not say that those feel quiet earthbound inspired
Toby is the one who made the song.
@@ivythay4259 I mean, Toby made this song because he liked cucumber quest, and you can also tell that cucumber quest inspired him as a writer, as many details in the story and world of Deltarune are very similar to aspects of cucumber quest
@@longbeing Oh ok, that makes more sense.
@Loi Valdes Nice to see they’re still doing some creative work, even if finishing cucumber quest didn’t work out.
If wanna know where the cover and name came from. The Nightmare Knight came from a book named Cucumber Quest, its in the end somewhere.
The first two notes (sped up slightly) are used in Deltarune to alert you about enemy attack
You could technically say that about almost any two notes in the entire song
What a stretch and a half
If you close your eyes and concentrate into listening, the music becomes more beautiful
Thanks Chuck Norris, I really needed this reminder right now. I'm so distracted all the time, it's so rare for me to manage to focus on just one thing. I was scrolling the comments while listening instead of just listening...
Holy fuck Kirby’s the knight
Bro the Kirby Dreamland 3 Vibes are TOO STRONG!!!!
I'm surprised this isn't more well known
Everyone talks about other MeGaLoVanias and Megalo Strike Back, but no one EVER talks about this or Friendship.
+A cat Well, it's still on going. So, deserves.
FYX from Inferno friendship?
Seeing Cucumber Quest's art is pretty nice and I can totally see this guy as the final boss. He even has a soft side to match nice guy redemption arc in the Cucumber Quest story
The knight is coming... Years later it shall arrive.
I think "the knight" Will appear when things start to get terrible in the dark world..
*We're still waiting, Toby.*
*It's almost done...*
@@somekidnamedchris There's still quite a ways to go though.
...And again.
for 100 years
The nightmare knight is actually a character from cucumber quest :)
@crystal 23 no he shouldn't as it would make no sense to add a song from a entirely different thing. Cucumber quest isn't even a game, it's a novel.
@@sleepysloothz442 He's used music from his other unrelated projects in it already
@@sleepysloothz442 He used Noisemaster's theme as a base for Mettaton already.
@@judewelos As a person who is a fan of the webcomic/novel I agree, it's fine for him to reuse songs, he made these songs after all, plus him using his CQ fansongs as leitmotifs for his games is making people discover Cucumber Quest, and that's pretty cool, there are more reasons I have but I digress
@@woo7904 I actually learned recently he already used the nightmare knight motif in Deltarune
I can't wait for this song to eventually play in Deltarune (the full game)
People keep yelling about the Kirby sound font, and I can hear it too... Now I know what this might mean...
-TOBY FOX IS ALSO A KIRBY FAN!-
Or he may not be, you never know.
I love how menacingly the end of the song sounds, like if something huge charged directly at you. I don't know how everybody, but I felt genuinely terrified at the first time I heard this, in a good way though.
Honestly, Nintendo needs to contact Toby Fox if they decide to make a new pixel-styled Kirby game. I would pay good money to play a Kirby game if all of the music composed by Toby. He is a musical god.
Kirby music is already perfection even without toby fox
Everyone here is talking about deltarune and stuff so much that i can only see sparce comments taking about cucumber quest, a webcomic that this song was based on :/
thats what you get with knight in the name
@knightmare6229 what I mean Is just the song is literally named knightmare knight and the knight is very obviously important to deltarune
I miss cucumber quest
I oddly want a gabe the dog remix of this. I can already hear it in my mind.
Megawatt Egg but spoken in French
Makes me wonder if this guy will be the inspiration for "The Knight" in Deltarune. Dude looks menacing as hell, perfect for final boss material.
this is a fan song for a webcomic, this being the main antagonist. I doubt toby would copy it too heavily
@@SparkleWolf404 Ah, was unaware of this. What is the name of the webcomic?
@@inconsideratebox3000 Cucumber Quest!
@@SparkleWolf404 Thank you!
@@inconsideratebox3000 no problem!
I love this-
And the fact that this sounds so much like it came from Kirby makes things even better for me-
AAAAAAAAAAA-
God, I miss Cucumber Quest.....
Same, wished we had more or the writer revisits it :(
its so cool that toby made cucumber quest themes. as both a undertale/deltarune and cucumber quest fan i love this
"Okay, we've finally arrived. It's time to fight the Nightmare Knight! So, should we say something, or-"
"You got this bro."
"Nightmare Knight! The time has come! We, uh, won't let you cause any more destruction. E-even if you aren't actually doing much!
...
You're a blight on the world! Everyone thinks you are terrible! You smell like swiss cheese on a hot day!"
< Blank stare >
"You, you... I tried your macaron recipe without letting them rise, and they tasted terrible! Your macarons aren't any better than the ones at the store!"
*Nightmare Knight: **0:08*
A boss battle in a Kirby game with this music would not be too out of place, and would also be the most hype boss battle in the history of gaming.
Nightmare knight is from a comic called cucumber quest for anyone wondering. It's a really good comic.
This guy bout to wipe out half of popstar
