[Video Game Music] UNDERTALE’s masterpieces: unforgettable BGM (1–10)
MEGALOVANIA
Among the background music used in UNDERTALE, this track is especially popular.
It plays during the battle with Sans, the older of the skeleton brothers who appear in the game.
The heavy metal-inspired sound is really cool! There are many fan-made remixes, so be sure to check them out!
Battle Against A True Hero
This is the BGM used in the Undyne battle.
The BPM is fast, giving a very tense impression.
A literal translation of the title is “Battle Against a True Hero,” which frames the protagonist as evil and Undyne as justice.
It’s a hot-blooded yet bittersweet track.
Death by Glamour
This is the track that plays as the BGM during the battle with Mettaton EX.
Its piano refrain and lo-fi synth sounds heighten the sense of presence.
The song gradually layers various sounds, building excitement as it progresses.
Its Japanese title is “The Magnificent Deathmatch,” reflecting the grueling nature of the fight against Mettaton EX.
NGAHHH!!
A masterpiece that conveys the tension right before the Undyne battle.
Many listeners were surely captivated by the blazing sound, as if the soul’s cry of a determined character had been turned directly into music.
Orchestral heft merges with chiptune electronics to heighten the thrill of combat.
It’s so dramatic you can’t help but get sweaty palms.
When you’re facing a challenge and want to fire yourself up, listen to this—and courage will surely well up inside you.
Nyeh Heh Heh!
The BGM that plays in the scene where that cheerful skeleton appears! That snappy, addictive 8-bit sound must have captured many hearts.
It perfectly brings Papyrus’s confident yet somehow endearing, comical personality to life through music.
Listening to it when you want to recall the game’s puzzle scenes or your interactions with him makes it even more enjoyable.
You can practically picture his stance—that crisp, striking pose!
Your Best Friend
A cheerful, innocent chiptune melody seems to whisper, “You’re my best friend.” It plays when the protagonist encounters a character named Flowey, beautifully setting the stage for the story’s introduction.
But for those who know what comes next, it may sound quite different.
If you picture the game scene and imagine the true intent hidden in the melody, you’ll be able to enjoy the work’s world more deeply.
Bergentrückung
This is the track that plays during the battle with Asgore, the king of the monsters who rules the Underground.
Its dynamic progression blends a sorrowful synthesizer melody with a grand orchestral sound.
It’s a song you might think is cool, but if you know Asgore’s background, you might hear it a little differently.
