@@novembermann4854 well let's just be thankful that it was a Mother/Earthbound rom hack instead of one of Nintendo's ips that they truly care about. If that was the case then this would've never happened
@@sillystinkyskunk4367 yeah but still it does mean that technically Nintendo is supporting a song from a Rom Hack since it originated from it (though it is a good sign cause it's the only Time Nintendo has ever Technically supported a Rom Hack in any way shape or form even if it's addressed as being from Undertale it's still originated from Earthbound Halloween hack)
not to sound like a broken record but i CANT stop thinking about how crazy it is that toby wrote this when he was just 16 years old and now his song, which is worldwide loved, is on mf smash ultimate??? the legend jumped out
This song is now in the OFFICIAL smash bros series. You didn't hear me wrong, and you're not dreaming. A rom hack song. Ending up in an official Nintendo IP. What are the odds?
How the fuck did this even happen? I'm not mad btw just amazed and confused. How did a company that's infamous for copyright bullshit greenlit this song for smash?
Toby Fox is the perfect example of why IP law needs to be rewritten, in both the US and Japan. He got his start modifying other stuff and eventually created something really, really new.
"Keep making those awesome hacks Radiation." And then Toby went on to make 2 critically acclaimed games, work on a game with Gamefreak, and had this song in not only the Earthbound Halloween Hack, but also in Homestuck, Mother Cognitive Dissonance, Undertale, and Super Smash Bros Ultimate. He also had a character from both of his critically acclaimed games, Sans, in Super Smash Bros Ultimate.
2009: romhack 2015: steam game 2019: new smash for switch 2/8/2024: There were lots of people that called out the fact that I missed Toby Fox's contribution to the Homestuck soundtrack. Quite frankly, back when I wrote this comment I did not know about Homestuck at all, and either way, I was just talking about the games this composition had been attached to, so I'm not sure where a webcomic falls into the equation. Still though, thank you all for looking out and correcting!
@@pizzahut149official Yes, he made the sw&sh battle tower theme and now composed the field music for Scarlet and Violet, which will be heard throughout the entire game! Props to Toby
unironically one of my favorite versions. the slower tempo is quite nice and i really like that the main megalovania melody plays throughout the whole song
+Iceman404 Thing is, its kind of awesome for musicians to have their signature song, especially if it's a good one. If you're familiar with it, and encounter it in an intense situation (say, the Sans battle), you know what you're getting yourself into. You know shit's about to get real. That feel is absolutely legendary.
my personal opinion: all megalovanias are good in their own right Earthbound: It's simple, but it has such a strong beat that it's still a bop Homestuck: It's basically the Earthbound version now with rocking guitar Undertale: A completely different style, but still keeping everything intact
in my opinion, those three versions are a good example of how toby has grown, both the Halloween hack and homestuck version feel like the teenage years and the undertale version feels like the more mature version
I can not believe that Sans can actually fight Ness in Smash Bros now. I also can't believe this song that originated from a ROM hack is now in Smash too.
Damn i remember listening to this track before Undertale even existed and thought how cool it sounded. Didn’t play the Earthbound hack either. It was nice hearing megalomania again in Undertale bringing back memories of middle/highschool
2009: A cool theme from an Earthbound rom hack. 2011: A cool theme from Homestuck 2015: A masterpiece. 2016: A meme. 2019: A theme in Smash. I don't know where Megalovania's ending up this decade. Update: Pope Francis heard it nice Edit: GUYS I GET IT IT WAS IN HOMESTUCK TOO
The internet: Where if something pops up in something else that's popular, noone'll talk about what it actually is and will just focus on what it showed up in. Kind of a shame really.
And now it has been played live in front of the Pope. Truly, megalovania went from the absolute bottom to the absolute top. Keep doing what you're doing Toby, the internet is proud of you!
calling it now, when we'll make contact with aliens a bunch of dedicated fans are gonna pool money to make the first piece of human music that the aliens will ever hear megalovania
@@CompactStar what if, they are bacteria that can comunicate between them with just some sort of enzymes, that can be transformed into electric impulse, and some of these are actually melodies...and one of the melodies is...
I like the Megalo in homestuck but really that’s it I don’t like the comics that much (Rex Dudodecium and Wake) but music (Megalovania/ Duodecium angelus) is amazing
Smoof Yeah she is ! So don't... Sexualise her... Please ! EDIT : I mean you can hardly have a flatter character. And I ain't talking about that kind of flat character :lenny: pettan pettan
Crazy to think that this song originated from a fan hack of Earthbound, a Nintendo game, but is now in Smash Ultimate, an actual Nintendo game. Even crazier, it can be played with Ness. Never give up on your dreams.
So when I discovered the Earthbound Halloween hack, I used it, I must say I was a little terrified of what might happen because it has "Halloween" in the name. Undertale obviously did not exist at this time. When I got to the fight where this plays, I liked how this song was fitting for a dark atmosphere. Then came Undertale, I played the game without searching for a walkthrough, and got the neutral then pacifist ending (Since I followed Tori's advice of mercy, I did not press fight Until Asgore on my first run). Then I said "Wow, now this is a good story!". Then I searched forums on what will happen if I pressed fight only. So I came across geno-neutral, and The Genocide Route. I like to play games without walkthroughs on how to beat the game, enemies, etc. So I did the genocide route on my own and Undyne was a Dark Souls boss. I expected MTT Neo to be awesome but hehe. What I did not expect was Sans, and I thought he was another Joke boss, and thought that Asgore will be the final boss of this route, and I learned quickly that I was wrong :). When Megalovania started playing, I thought why it sounded familiar, AND THE GIGANTIC WAVE OF NOSTALGIA came when I realized that it was a remastered version of the original Earthbound version. And even thought I beat Sans on my 56th try, I enjoyed repeating the fight over and over because of how good the remastered version of the song is, even though I was losing over and over to what I thought was another pushover :")
It's crazy to think that if earthbound weren't a thing, then toby would've never made the rom hack, or Undertale, and if he did make Undertale, it wouldn't be the same, we all need to take a moment of silence to thank earthbound. OK THE MOMENT 'S OVER **MEGALOVANIA INTENSIFIES**
As an Earthbound fan I'm happy about the fact that UNDERTALE and Toby gave the game more visibility to the new generations. Even happier about the fact that its most famous song was created as an Earthbound fan track
I personally feel like the shitting on UT over its use of the song is kind of stupid when you remember this was in not just this, but also Homestuck before it was in Undertale, all of which that Toby Fox was involved with. It's essentially his calling card song in his works.
I like to think it's his calling card yes, but at the same time, the song seems to be connected to only the worst of the worst scenarios, when all logic gets thrown out the window and there's nothing but the consequences of decisions leading up to nothing more than grotesque violence.
TheBoyFromDeviluke I would ask you to elaborate on that. I can’t speak for his other works, but I would hardly call the Sans Fight “throwing all logic out the window,” and I’m not sure you can even have something “grotesque” in 8 bit, at least not purely visually. Maybe visually coupled with atmosphere/theme, like the Amalgamates.
Toby Fox is really good to do EVERYTHING.Why do i say that?He makes: A hack And for developpement of Undertale and the Mother 2 hack he mades: Songs Sprites Dialogs Codes
A moment of realization that 16 year old Toby Fox had composition chops even then, that an earthbound hack song was used in another game and instantly became a popular worldwide hit of a song, and that the earthbound hack music is now in an official Nintendo product with Earthbound characters in it. We’ve come full circle.
@@Angels-vq7rz Not at all. Toby composed Megalovania for the 2009 Earthbound Halloween Hack himself. He then reused it in Homestuck (for which he was a composer), and in Undertale.
I love that Toby fox made this son 15 years ago and subsequently included an upgraded version of it in every project since. Mans knew gold when he made it
"I think it's even better than the original final boss music!" Now unless you count Pokey Means Business as the original final boss theme, Earthbound's "final boss theme" is an assortment of random/freaky noises so uhhh not very hard to beat that on a music level lol
*goes onto Earthbound music from six years ago, sees undertale references everywhere and no earthbound talk what so ever* Are..You Gotta Be Kiddin Me Right Now..
***** not bashing the community or anything, but cant the homestuck fans go to their own video and do that? just like the undertale fans can? What im tryin'a say here is This Is An EARTHBOUND Vid. not a homestuck video. not a undetale video. just earthbound.
I wonder if the people that have played this rom when it first came out and then tried the genocide run, until they got surprised while they got to sans, wondering : *didn’t I hear this from somewhere?*
Me. I remember first discovering the Halloween Hack in 2014, and enjoying the theme. Sans's theme gave me some weird nostalgia I couldn't place, until I realized who Toby Fox was and got musical whiplash.
@@skilerketchum6633 what about fnaf(Five Nights at Freddy's)? if you dont know that horror game I want to you to look it,it is mystery,pretty and a little bit scary
One of my friends just played Undertale and ran to me to tell me about how the final boss music was from Homestuck (I'm a fan, he's not), and I just researched Megalovania's evolution. No idea Tobyfox created it before the music was used in Homestuck, and for an Earthbound hack at that. Neat.
zippercreature I've heard you can abort a genocide run as late as the Erase/Do Not option by taking a third option, closing the game by clicking the X in the top right corner, then choosing Reset when you next open Undertale.
This makes me wish fan remixes of Megalovania were more creative. I mean, this original version is stripped down to basics -- hook, bassline, percussion, melody. The Homestuck version experiments with it, changing the melody some and doing it with a different instrument (plus adding some of Vriska's theme for the second part of the [S] Wake variation, which isn't in the Alterniabound variation). Then the Undertale remix REALLY goes wild with it, applying all sorts of changes to the basic formula and showing how flexible it really is, and the fans respond by... basically basing all their remixes off the Undertale version. Like if every fan remix of the Super Mario Bros. overworld theme was based on the Daniel Genz MIDI. Sure, it's a great version, but... that's all? There's just so much possibility in this neat little tune that the fandom doesn't even touch. We've had lots of remixes of the one remix. I want a remix of the original that's as inventive as the first remix was.
Okay funny story, so I played the Halloween hack long before Undertale even came out, and when Undertale and their version of Megalovania came into the picture I thought to myself "oh ho ho, this dude thinks he's fucking slick stealing music from a damn ROM hack, putting it in his game and calling it his own. You think we don't know huh?" I was ready to put this man on blast until I realized that the creator of undertale was the same man behind the Halloween hack. Needless to say, my mind fucking blown and at that point I was sold, and bought a copy of Undertale for myself. Completed all 3 runs and beat the fuck out of the masterpiece. And you wanna know something guys, I loved Megalovania so much and never thought it'd get this popular. But 4 years ago NEVER would I have thought that it'd become a meme, too. This is proof that God exists. It's 10/31/18. Happy Halloween y'all. 🎃👻🦇
im so glad Toby Fox believed in this song and kept refining and reusing it until now, it finally gets to be officially incorporated in a nintendo game and be played alongside the characters from franchise he first modded this into

Crazy to think that this song originated from a fan hack of Earthbound, a Nintendo game, but is now in Smash Ultimate, an actual Nintendo game. Even crazier, it can be played with Ness. Never give up on your dreams.

So when I discovered the Earthbound Halloween hack, I used it, I must say I was a little terrified of what might happen because it has "Halloween" in the name. Undertale obviously did not exist at this time. When I got to the fight where this plays, I liked how this song was fitting for a dark atmosphere. Then came Undertale, I played the game without searching for a walkthrough, and got the neutral then pacifist ending (Since I followed Tori's advice of mercy, I did not press fight Until Asgore on my first run). Then I said "Wow, now this is a good story!". Then I searched forums on what will happen if I pressed fight only. So I came across geno-neutral, and The Genocide Route. I like to play games without walkthroughs on how to beat the game, enemies, etc. So I did the genocide route on my own and Undyne was a Dark Souls boss. I expected MTT Neo to be awesome but hehe. What I did not expect was Sans, and I thought he was another Joke boss, and thought that Asgore will be the final boss of this route, and I learned quickly that I was wrong :). When Megalovania started playing, I thought why it sounded familiar, AND THE GIGANTIC WAVE OF NOSTALGIA came when I realized that it was a remastered version of the original Earthbound version. And even thought I beat Sans on my 56th try, I enjoyed repeating the fight over and over because of how good the remastered version of the song is, even though I was losing over and over to what I thought was another pushover :")
You sir need more likes
Now that's epic.
@@ltb1345 also happy New year
I love that up counted 56 Sans fights.
Haha that's awesome man
It's crazy to think that if earthbound weren't a thing, then toby would've never made the rom hack, or Undertale, and if he did make Undertale, it wouldn't be the same, we all need to take a moment of silence to thank earthbound.
OK THE MOMENT 'S OVER **MEGALOVANIA INTENSIFIES**

I 100% agree with you… If Toby Fox had not made undertale, the world as we know it would honestly be very different.

As an Earthbound fan I'm happy about the fact that UNDERTALE and Toby gave the game more visibility to the new generations.
Even happier about the fact that its most famous song was created as an Earthbound fan track
I find it genuinely hilarious we have a song from an earthbound fanhack inside of a super smash brothers game.
It's amazing. The internet could never be free from Megalovania, because it was always there to begin with.
The internet was created in the 90’s

@@tylerfindlay3774 hi old man
Mini Star
Hi you tiny child
the fact Toby re-made this song for one of the most memorable final battles in Undertale is sorta beautiful in a sense
"Keep making those awesome hacks, Radiation"
Oh, he sure kept making things, alright
I personally feel like the shitting on UT over its use of the song is kind of stupid when you remember this was in not just this, but also Homestuck before it was in Undertale, all of which that Toby Fox was involved with.
It's essentially his calling card song in his works.
I like to think it's his calling card yes, but at the same time, the song seems to be connected to only the worst of the worst scenarios, when all logic gets thrown out the window and there's nothing but the consequences of decisions leading up to nothing more than grotesque violence.
TheBoyFromDeviluke I would ask you to elaborate on that. I can’t speak for his other works, but I would hardly call the Sans Fight “throwing all logic out the window,” and I’m not sure you can even have something “grotesque” in 8 bit, at least not purely visually. Maybe visually coupled with atmosphere/theme, like the Amalgamates.
Toby Fox is really good to do EVERYTHING.Why do i say that?He makes:
A hack
And for developpement of Undertale and the Mother 2 hack he mades:
Songs
Sprites
Dialogs
Codes
And it was in Mother CogDis, no one seems to talk about that masterpiece...
Oh yeam!But cogdis version is a remix...THIS ONE IS THE TRUE ORIGINAL!
A moment of realization that 16 year old Toby Fox had composition chops even then, that an earthbound hack song was used in another game and instantly became a popular worldwide hit of a song, and that the earthbound hack music is now in an official Nintendo product with Earthbound characters in it. We’ve come full circle.
"keep making those awesome hacks radiation" He's made a couple more awesome things since them

@@Angels-vq7rz Not at all.
Toby composed Megalovania for the 2009 Earthbound Halloween Hack himself.
He then reused it in Homestuck (for which he was a composer), and in Undertale.

It's crazy that Toby Fox went from making hacks for EarthBound, to making one of the most popular Indie Games. It's inspiring.
Rom hacks have come a long way.
Your comments don't even have replies, so I'll do it
"I think it's even better than the original final boss music!"
Now unless you count Pokey Means Business as the original final boss theme, Earthbound's "final boss theme" is an assortment of random/freaky noises so uhhh not very hard to beat that on a music level lol

he made this music as well
+Saroph Elricium Go back a year ago, you'll see the same but with Homestuck. Glad these times are over.
***** Yeah, i almost forgot that it got popular only a year ago.
I wonder if the people that have played this rom when it first came out and then tried the genocide run, until they got surprised while they got to sans, wondering : *didn’t I hear this from somewhere?*
toby fox was already known for homestuck music so they probably knew that he made it
Homestuck webcomic fans when fighting sans: Hey, I know this song!
Me. I remember first discovering the Halloween Hack in 2014, and enjoying the theme. Sans's theme gave me some weird nostalgia I couldn't place, until I realized who Toby Fox was and got musical whiplash.
Imagine telling Toby Fox 14 years that this song would later become one of the most iconic songs in gaming

One of my friends just played Undertale and ran to me to tell me about how the final boss music was from Homestuck (I'm a fan, he's not), and I just researched Megalovania's evolution. No idea Tobyfox created it before the music was used in Homestuck, and for an Earthbound hack at that. Neat.
Yeah. Sucks that you can only get to that fight by doing a full genocide run though. :/
+DarkXSyndicate I mean you can abort the run right after defeating Sans.
+zippercreature ...that is true. never thought about that to be honest. lol.
zippercreature
I've heard you can abort a genocide run as late as the Erase/Do Not option by taking a third option, closing the game by clicking the X in the top right corner, then choosing Reset when you next open Undertale.
+SpectrumUK Flowey will know though.
This makes me wish fan remixes of Megalovania were more creative.
I mean, this original version is stripped down to basics -- hook, bassline, percussion, melody. The Homestuck version experiments with it, changing the melody some and doing it with a different instrument (plus adding some of Vriska's theme for the second part of the [S] Wake variation, which isn't in the Alterniabound variation). Then the Undertale remix REALLY goes wild with it, applying all sorts of changes to the basic formula and showing how flexible it really is, and the fans respond by... basically basing all their remixes off the Undertale version. Like if every fan remix of the Super Mario Bros. overworld theme was based on the Daniel Genz MIDI. Sure, it's a great version, but... that's all?
There's just so much possibility in this neat little tune that the fandom doesn't even touch. We've had lots of remixes of the one remix. I want a remix of the original that's as inventive as the first remix was.
For one of the battles in my Undertale fan game, I plan to create a remix of this version of Megalovania.
There are many AU megalovania themes that change up the melody, I reccomend you check them out
Deltalovania is epic remix ;)
The reason why Undertale's version was bigger was because Toby was working with limited space, as this was previously Earthbound for the SNES.
Graduate to touhou music already.
It's pretty crazy that the music from an Earthbound ROM hack is now actually featured in a Nintendo game.
Pelasin tätä pienenä! Olen erittäin iloinen, että löysin tämän ääniraidan, kiitos!
Okay funny story, so I played the Halloween hack long before Undertale even came out, and when Undertale and their version of Megalovania came into the picture I thought to myself "oh ho ho, this dude thinks he's fucking slick stealing music from a damn ROM hack, putting it in his game and calling it his own. You think we don't know huh?" I was ready to put this man on blast until I realized that the creator of undertale was the same man behind the Halloween hack. Needless to say, my mind fucking blown and at that point I was sold, and bought a copy of Undertale for myself. Completed all 3 runs and beat the fuck out of the masterpiece.
And you wanna know something guys, I loved Megalovania so much and never thought it'd get this popular. But 4 years ago NEVER would I have thought that it'd become a meme, too. This is proof that God exists.
It's 10/31/18. Happy Halloween y'all. 🎃👻🦇
