Scientifically Ranking Every Undertale Song!

I "scientifically" ranked all of Undertale's 49 main themes. From Enemy Approaching to Megalovania to Death By Glamour to Undertale itself, how good are the actual tracks? Is Bonetrousle better for Papyrus than Metal Crusher is for Mettaton?
Music credit:
Literally all of it is from Undertale.

Hey everyone, I want to apologize for putting Finale so low. I got it mixed up some remixes of Hopes and Dreams, which on review, is incorrect. This was a long process, so I probably just missed that mistake. If I were to do the list again, I would give it a score of 86 (8 10 8), putting it between Spear of Justice and Metal Crusher at 23rd. Sorry about that. All that being said I still completely stand by my opinion of STMPWYFS.

“do you really need to hear all 101 songs?” Me: “YES.” (i’ve listened through all 101 songs in order with no skips at all 8 times)

[@randomuser.5356]

Toby Fox actually released a very interesting beta version of Undertale (the song not the game), saying it was scrapped because he thought it being so melancholic would lessen the song's effectiveness. It's most definitely worth to hear and I would love your opinion on it and other "extra"/scrapped songs such as Bereavement.

[@thojoe]

Undertale being number 1 is extremely fitting to me, it's such a great ost.

[@BigMacBurgr]

1:41 thats....the joke, its the "song that *might* play when you fight sans"....aside from the Geno route, YOU NEVER FIGHT SANS, thus it isn't in the game. It also perfectly fits who sans is on the outside, a goofball pun skeleton. It's fun, isn't serious, because despite what people pretend, sans is not this overly depressed skeleton, he's genuinely a silly goober. He does have his serious moments and is a serious character at times, however that isn't the bulk of who he is. About the whole depression thing, sans doesn't actually remember past timelines. He guesses that they might've had a better life, and he knows how hes killed you via reading your expression, but he doesn't actually remember past timelines and theres much evidence to go against it

[@DanielMartinez-jg5wg]

Exactly if I remember correctly Sans is only aware the fact that the player can reset and reload and save. He only knows how many times you die judging your expression. Sans is complex but I feel that people tend to miss characteristic him as either a fun goofball comedian or a depressed skeleton that will kill on site if you just insult his brother.

[@LochlanKooistra]

You, uh, DO fight Sans. Just with MEGALOVANIA. Not STMPWYFS.

[@CheesyCheeseCheesyCheese]

Thank you so much for mentioning this Big Mac people tell me this and I lose brain cells

[@cristianbernal8009]

EXACTLY. he judges literally EVERYTHING off your face. Like when you return after he killed you, he notices how really angry you looked and when you get to that point in the fight again he notices how you act. Sure he has some science background watching the timelines just appear and disappear but he has no idea what goes on in them.

[@SullyTheLightnerd]

The only explanation I have for finale being so low is that he must’ve mixed it up with save the world (still a great song, but unlike finale, that song is actually a hopes and dreams remix)

[@alittlefrogg7953]

Well they both have a very similar melody in a large part of the song, but it’s weird since that’s true (often to a greater extent then Finale and Hopes and dreams) for a lot of other undertale songs placed higher on the list. And while they have a similar melody it still remixes in different ways for both songs (not just in sounds but in the actual notes being played)

[@SullyTheLightnerd]

I personally headcanon that Song That Might Play When You Fight Sans is what you get if you could’ve fought Sans on the pacifist or neutral run. Of course, that’s just an idea, but it is fun to think about.

[@tetris99isgod21]

Song that might play when you fight sans is in the ost to hide the fact that megalovania is sans's boas theme which is neat. But yea its repetitive but its cool that its basic a remix of the overworld sans theme and bonetrausle mixed jn

[@inky-pj7ox]

[@user-wc7hk2bz8z]

true, nugget loves mettaton

[@blackseraph5939]

Small correction because I love STMPWYFS and also because I'm a pedant, afaik it didn't get scrapped, it was never meant to be in the game in the first place. Based on the placement in the OST and the highly ironic title, I believe it was meant as a "sans' theme if you fought him outside of geno, but that's not gonna happen" easter egg, not just a scrapped song. EDIT : Also, why not include Power of NEO?

[@SpectreCafe98]

STMPWYFS was never meant to be in the game, it was soley put in the soundtrack to throw off people who expected a sans fight in the early days of undertale.

Cool vid! I hate to be that guy, but Enemy Approaching is not in a major key ( 17:07 ). It’s largely in G Dorian while borrowing from the parallel Aeolian (as well as Phrygian and even Locrian for one chord during the intro). None of the major modes (e.g., Lydian, Ionian, Mixolydian) appear even once throughout the piece.

STMPWYFS DOES fit sans, i don't get why you say it doesn't it's a whacky and silly song that's sans!! it may not be him in like a geno or some neutral settings, sure, but it totally fits who he acts like in pacifist that's the point of the song really to be a zany little tune that you'd jam to if you theoretically fought sans as a nonkiller, which is why "might" is in the title i disagree with a lot of other takes in here, as well as not understanding the lack of inclusion of some songs, but i'm just getting this point out there.

Probably my biggest upset of the video, is the amalgam and here we are being so low, since they are some of my favourite songs on the soundtrack even outside of game, aand anout the remix potential? You clearly havent listened to what people have done with it. For a more tame example, the version used in undertale the musical, doesnt change too much but adds intentional glitches to the song, which adds a ton to it. And then some people just go wild with it
