DELTARUNE CHAPTER 2 - All References to Undertale Music/Leitmotifs

[@ChristopherMoom]

I'm hyped for Megalovania's one and only appearance in DeltaRune to end up being in something like honksong, and for said appearance to specifically only include the first 4 notes

@@churro1201(spoiler light) homestuck is a webseries made by Andrew Hussie, which features 4 kids as they do such activities, as get stuck at home, get unstuck, and prepare to meet their makers. Homestuck is indirectly related to undertale/deltarune bc toby fox worked on some of the songs

[@hobbytunez2519]

Giga Size also incorporates elements from Asgore’s theme which itself includes the Heartache leitmotif.

Now that I think about it I guess it does. Not the melody but the rhythm. Same with Burn In Despair from Undertale.

[@lukelear_bomb]

cool "christmas" easter egg at the beginning

[@ItsImagineThis]

I think “Digital Roots” has “Your Best Nightmare” in it. It’s kind of hidden as ambient noise in the track, but if you listen to that, and then play the start of “Your Best Nightmare,” they both have the same tune-

[@TheBadDeadFox]

*_I never noticed the Undertale motif in the City's theme!!! That was eye-opening._*

[@xems8910]

Knock You Down !! also uses Enemy Approaching's motif I believe.

[@blakehasse6852]

In the Queens basement if you listen closely you can hear Omega Flowey's theme but it's slowed down using a lower pitch instrument. Just thought it was interesting since this video is going over Undertale motifs in Deltarune

[@BigShotSpamton]

Big shot has like - World Revolving - Power of Neo - Dummy - some Napstablook theme

[@VinchVolt]

Fun fact: that one interpolated part of "Undertale" in "WELCOME TO THE CITY" also appears in "74" by Itoki Hana, which Toby Fox composed and did guest vocals for, while the chorus of "74" is itself interpolated by the intro to "WELCOME TO THE CITY".

[@Sploberrie]

I hadn't even caught that one riff from Track 71 in Welcome to the City but now I can't unhear it

[@catherineharnett5653]

hi! great video, i just wanted to come here to mention one leitmotif you missed, in giga size the drum beat that kicks in at 0:15 has the same rhythm as ASGORE at 0:34 (the main melody at this part). It also appears in heartache, but i find the asgore one more clear. Giga size - kzbin.info/www/bejne/lZO5nWWbYryrsMk ASGORE - kzbin.info/www/bejne/p6PXpWqjnNx2itk

[@Makitru]

Shouldn’t count that one if we’ve spent 6 years not counting “Burn In Despair!” for having the same drum beat as that part of ASGORE

[@parkerturner9766]

and no one ever talks about how they missed a dummy letimotif

[@RandomDude-dc8dd]

There is also Home in You Can Always Come Home, and the jingle in Undertale/Welcome To The City also appears in Hopes And Dreams

[@benpiano800]

Can't believe I never noticed the "Undertale" leitmotif in "Welcome to the City"

[@gameo7]

That Undertale/Welcome to the City mashup at the end hit harder than I expected. I also love the seamless cut you made for BIG SHOT, it came out really well!

[@lidkas7158]

You forgot "Asgore/Heartache" in Giga Size and "Your Best Nightmare" in the Queen Castle basement ambience Edit: You also forgot "SAVE The World" motif in the "Begining", and obviously "Gasters theme" in "Another Him" Edit 2: My mistake, the video is Chapter 2 only, though its still worth mentioning

[@MetaKaios]

They did not forget Your Best Nightmare. It's addressed in the description.

[@stitchesplush]

0:27 this sounds more like Battle Against A True Hero with the Power Of Neo sample.

[@pingo400]

Power of neo... is just battle against a true hero with a different instrument?

[@Ringcaat]

It makes sense that Spamton's theme has a sample from Dummy... because on a certain level, he does turn out to be a puppet! I noticed that descending set of seven notes in Welcome to the City because when I listened to the track "Undertale," I would always wait for them to appear and sometimes sing them in places they didn't.

[@Octol1ng]

Fun fact: in the disclaimer of the video, some letters glow up before they fade, and they spell "Christmas".

[@gabrote42]

I am so hyped for the "Minor Leitmotifs" video. A Real Boy! will probably have a note saying that MM cried during it ;) 1:20 Ah so it was just the Latter 6 Notes. That explains it 1:38 This was the Snoresong of DR. Also played in it's second chapter. Hmmmmm.... 2:12 I couldn't hear dogsong sadge. Headcanon: The Man is the one playing this. Or the SOUL is hallucinating these themes inside the noise. 2:27 Well, yes, but this is specifically the grandpa[s/t]emi.ogg leitmotif. Was in the demo, y'know. inb4 I say the same for Pathetic House, even if it is Ghost Fight 3:27 I still didn't know it was there. I will need to look at sheet music 3:36 You missed Burn in Despair on Giga Size

[@TheAdvertisement]

Love how the Dummy! lietmotifs in Big Shot only emphasize how much Spamton is a literal puppet. Honksong's such a dumb song and yet it has so many motifs thrown into it just because. xD I love how even as a cop Napstablook's still making music. What a chill jailbreak alarm. For the Welcome to the City and Undertale one, I've made comparisons but I doubt that's an intentional reference.

[@i_am_anxious02]

Queens basement theme has your best nightmare Giga sized is riffing off burn in despair

[@seabass64]

There's also burn in despair near the beginning of giga size though that's probably just myself By the way, could you consider doing an "all ch1 motifs in ch2" video?

[@mmgmagic]

Bruh, can't believe they didn't show the sans. leitmotif in sans. smh

[@phacey4444]

welcome to the city and undertale(song) actually go really good together

This video and the one for the first chapter were awesome! I really hope you do this for future chapters. If Tobey uses his theme in future chapters I’m gonna cry

[@MishaGold]

"Undertale" in "Welcome to the City" was the first thing I noticed on this track. I even wrote about this under the video about minor motifs in Undertle (in which you also missed the Hotel and Can You Really Call This A Hotel).

[@chrissysonicutdrloz]

Burn In Despair also seems to appear in the song that plays when everyone joins the Thrash Machine before the Giga fight.

[@LilyCat2399]

THANK YOU for pointing out that UNDERTALE is im Welcome to the city! I've seen no one point it out yet noticed it when the first version was posted on twitter 2 years before chapter 2 came out. I also think that the start of welcome to the city (2:56 to 3:08 in the above vid) sounds very similar to the undertale title theme and i was convinced they shared a motif in that portion for a long while (but i think the notes are too different). one part that i think does match up with part of undertale/title theme is 3:04 to 3:05 (the three notes played fast)

[@turkepic3637]

interesting that beside from the joke songs and welcome to the city (which i thought was a bit of a stretch), the song that has undertale references in it also happens to be the one that plays when you fight a boss whose connections with strange entities are talked about often

[@quietboy103]

OMG I just discovered a leitmotif of the song "Don´t forget" in the song "Snowdin Town" (from undertale obviously), I don't know how to place it but in a part of the middle of the song when it ends you hear the rhythm of "don ´t forget, i´m with you in the dark ", I swear it is true (and I had discovered it when I was playing the pacifist route lmao).

[@GarfieldsFavoriteLasagna]

Question. Not super on-topic but this is the most recent Deltarune leitmotif video so figured I'd ask it here, and also mentioning it to you since you're good with this music stuff: Think there's any sort of hidden connection between Bluebird of Misfortune, and Flashback Excerpt from the Weird Route? Since it's called Flashback Excerpt, and in the game files Bluebird of Misfortune is called Berdly Flashback, I thought who knows, maybe they have a similar sound if you do some speed/tone messing with them, kinda like Undertale Main Theme and The Choice, though they aren't exactly the same, neither are Welcome to the City and Welcome to the City (Weird Route Version), so who knows.
