      The original can be found on the wiki, Toby posted it somewhere awhile back. To me, it doesn't sound mellow, but rather dark and intimidating. Kinda like if you fought Undyne before she took her helmet off.

    So without going into spoilers, Your Best Nightmare is essentially a boss fight that is completely different from any other fight in the game both mechanically and graphically, and the static is when it switches to a different phase in the fight which are twisted versions of the weapons you get throughout the game.

      l also composed a majestic theme melody for the song "Academy". Surprisingly, this ended up used as a field theme for the whole game! Though, all songs using the melody were made by other amazing composers. (I love the soft piano version that plays at night.) Anyhow, that's all I did!”

    It's weird listening to original megalovania after hearing so many remixes like beats 2 and 4 being swapped or just general fangame remixes. Also small trivia for this ost. The reason why Toby was able to make 101 songs for this game (with the help of Temmie ofc) is because most opf them use the same leitmotif which is heard in the song "Fallen Down" aka the opening title sequence. It's a super smart decision of him

    The sequence in Undertale (the game) that Undertale (the song) plays in is barely even a gameplay section it's just a hallway with random encounters giving you dialogue but it's one of the most emotional experiences I've had in my life.

    You should totally listen to some of the Deltarune ost aswell! It's created by the same composer, and Deltarune in itself is a kinda sequal/spiritual succesor to Undertale!
    Some personal reccomendations are:
    "The Legend"
    "Rude Buster"
    "Field of Hopes And Dreams"
    "Darkness Falls"
    "THE WORLD REVOLVING"
    "Don't Forget"
    "A CYBER'S WORLD?"
    "Pandora Palace"
    "Attack Of The Killer Queen"
    "BIG SHOT"
    "Hometown Day"
    The entire ost is just banger after banger, but these are the 11 that are MUST LISTENS to me, "Rude Buster", "THE WORLD REVOLVING", "Don't Forget", "Attack Of The Killer Queen" and "BIG SHOT" are the 5 that are like, the most most must-listen-to.

    Fun Fact: Megalovania was actually in 2 other pieces of media before Undertale. It first showed up in an Earthbound Halloween Hack made by Toby Fox, and he made the song for the final boss in his hack. It was brought back again later for the webcomic Homestuck, which Toby made most of the music for. And finally, it was put in Undertale, where it became a cult classic.
    Another Fun Fact: Toby Fox developed most of Undertale in Andrew Hussie's (the guy who made Homestuck) basement.

    Most of the songs there were from the late game, and while it's understandable, I think I would have liked to see one or two more early ones. I'll just give details (not very spoilerish ones ofc, just some quickly shown or minor ones without consequences) in in-game chronological order:
    -Bonetrousle is one of Papyrus' themes. Papyrus is Sans' brother, and they're the only two ones with a special text font for their dialogues that are also how they got their names. You listen to this theme early enough.
    -Spear of justice was, at a point in the development of the game, changed because Toby felt that it didn't feel like you were getting "heroically punched in the face" enough. Actual quote there. The character it's related to has a very passionnante spirit, and I'm downplaying it by saying that. It plays a bit of Bonetrousle.
    - Death by glamour is one of my favorite Undertale themes, and a lot of people also have it among their favorites. You sure nailed the general vibe of a big party , but try smthin more like a battle to the death with a flamboyant character that likes to pose and to boast, to be famous and to entertain, to present shows and to see the ratings go crazy.
    And it's at this point that there's a Split. For what? Undertale might be 7 yo now, but I don't want to risk spoiling it to a complete stranger to this game.
    On one end, you'll hear Megalovnaia. Nothing to say about it, everyone knows it, moving on.
    On the other hand, before the plave where Megalovania would play, there's Undertale.
    And you dare commit the crime to NOT let the entire ost play out and to only put the begining here, stopping the viewers from getting the emotion drained reaction we all want to see with this ost!? Then perish/j
    Afterwards, there's ASGORE.
    Named after the character it is for, and he's the king of monsters, and yes it is a boss, that much is to be expected at this point. But, like you, he doesn't want for it to end with someone being killed.
    But then Your Bet Nightmare comes around and throws you into the Abyss of chaos.
    Anyway, I think you should check a let's play if you don't want to or can't play it. And then you should check out the fan musical, done by a group of artists and that is available (full and each song on their own) on the Chanel called Man on the Internet.

    So a few (non-spoiler) things:
    All of these (apart from "Undertale") were boss themes. The rest of the OST are bangers as well, but the boss themes are probably some of the most hype songs in the game.
    Toby Fox made the original Spear of Justice before he fully decided on the character's personality. He then remade it to sound more like a 'heroic punch in the face'. The beta version is still really good though, since it was mostly finished.
    ASGORE is one of the most feelsy songs in the game. A climactic fight between the player and King of Monsters, neither side wanting to fight, but knowing that they have to. There's a ~10 second theme that plays immediately before it as an intro called "Bergentruckung", which iirc translates to "Mountain King".
    I love this soundtrack (and game in general) so much, it's always fun to see other people's reactions to it.

    • @Missingno_Miner
      @Missingno_Miner ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Asgore being the king is absolutely a spoiler, the game goes out of its way to deliberately present "Asgore" and "King Dreemurr" as two separate people. Him not wanting to fight is also a spoiler, as the reason the game tricks you in this way is to set up doubt as to Asgore's motives and moral standing.

Has a diverse soundtrack owing to it's levels being inspired by real-world cities and locales. The Middle-East, Polar Caps, NYC, Italy, Coastal Greece, Hawaii, and Eggman's city.
    A third of the soundtrack is fast-paced rock combined with different cultural instruments, another is slow and atmospheric music using cultural instruments, and a third are 'street' music based on the cultures of the cities.
