This song’s a solid fit as you make your way through the quasi-industrial platforming zone in-game. Like a cut from a Megaman game, only not quite so manic.

Straight out of an 80’s game show. Well, except for the homicidal robotic host. Toby Fox has a talent for mimicking one particular type of music or another, depending on the needs of the scene. Take away the chiptune / soundtrack label and this soundtrack covers just about every kind of music there is. This is just one of the stronger examples.

Megalovania (by Toby Fox) is probably the most talked-about of the Undertale songs. And I like it a lot. I think it’s the most polished, highest-energy version of this song released to date. But it’s not my favorite song on the album.
It’s not even my favorite version of this song, for that matter. I like MeGaLoVania (from Homestuck Vol 6) even better. It stands out as a great example of how collaboration on the Homestuck music team could create something greater than the sum of its parts. It’s pretty easy to divine how the song breaks down: Toby’s original Halloween Hack version of Megalovania serves as the song’s heart, and Tensei lays his electric guitar virtuosity over the top. Two different sounds, one kickass track. A fantastic collaboration.
That’s not to run this version of the song down. It’s the perfect fit for a boss-fight in-game that I couldn’t bring myself to even attempt. I watched it on YouTube like all the rest of us craven fools who didn’t want to get our hands dirty. It matches the boss’s ‘i guess I have to show you how easy and pointless it is for me to kill you’ spirit to the letter.
