DELTARUNE Unused/scrapped music

I actually really like this arrangement. The only reason I didn't use it was that I was worried about overusing the main theme too much. Instead I decided to make a song based off of the town theme and use it for the school.

... What do you think?

School (Alternate)

Originally played in the Great Board area.
However, the area isn't very long, so I felt like if I played a song here, it would actually have the opposite effect of making the area feel disappointing if it had its own unique music but didn't amount to much.

When I have a song, I feel like I need to do the song justice by having a certain amount of content that goes along with it...

Checkerboard

I started to come up with an epic song for when you first battled Rouxls.
After starting the song though, I realized... He's not very epic at all.
Feels like if he had a song like this, you'd actually be able to beat him in one hit.
So, I didn't do anything with this one.

Epic Rouxls Battle

Originally played when Susie joined.
But it was awkward being frozen for ten seconds.

Character Joined (Long)

I only had the idea for the intro of the song, but it didn't feel like it fit too well.
So I only made forty seconds of it.

King Boss (Orchestral)

I made like three different versions of the song.
This version was pretty good too, but the intro had the wrong atmosphere.

Legend (Alternate)

I actually really like this song and wanted to use it to introduce a leitmotif, but I ended up using a more evocative song with a different motif. I'll try to make an excuse to use the song in the game somewhere.

Fountain (Unused)

An unused track for Deltarune’s Chapter 3!

“Earlier, we were considering having a stealth-focused section in the game where you would slowly, slowly sneak around certain areas.

After developing some concepts, we realized a mechanic which basically just makes you move slower isn't necessarily fun.

So, we didn't do that...” - Toby Fox

An adorable early version of Girl Next Door found in the files of Deltarune!!

"Unfinished tracks. The drums are especially placeholder.

Once Spamton's presence in the NEO battle became solidified, I realized the original track wouldn't fit anymore. So, I tried to work in some more sinister and creepy feelings... That idea became this.

The two tracks are nearly identical, but the "newer" version has different drums and more elements of Spamton's theme in the intro. (It's also even more unfinished...)" - Toby Fox

Power of SPAMTON

"Apparently this was the first concept I came up with for Spamton's battle theme. To be honest, I have absolutely no memory of this. When I found it in my files I was quite surprised. (Maybe Spamton made it himself...)

By the way, originally I was planning to have Spamton's intro song, "HEY EVERY    !", also be his shop theme. It was planned that it would slowly drop in pitch the longer you stayed in the shop until it was unrecognizable. But, that ultimately did not match the tone of the dialogue, so I ended up using Dialtone for that." - Toby Fox

Spamton Battle Forgotten

"The song that plays when Giga Queen first appears is actually…

A slowed down version of the original battle song I had created for her!!!

Though the instruments are placeholder, I actually think this song isn't half bad. Just, it didn't really sound much like a boxing match. After I created the Thrash Machine power up sequence beforehand, I decided to instead make a song based on that." - Toby Fox

Giga Queen Old

"Originally I wanted the Castle Town to sound very upbeat, but something about it reminded me of like… That one Gotye song.

The melody of the initial parts ended up a bit too repetitive for me. I really like how the song sounds from 0:45.

The song is completely unfinished past 1:27." - Toby Fox

Castle Town Unfinished

"I think this is my favorite of the unfinished tracks... At least, it's the one I listened to the most when I was working on the game.

Back when Queen looked more intimidating, I wanted to use this as her boss theme. Personally I still really like it, and I even wanted to try to use it for Berdly's battle instead... but the issue was that it just didn't match either of the theme melodies I had already created for those characters.

Bizarrely, I seem to have made this after already making her theme song, as an early version of her theme song is inside of the project file.

1:30 onward (piano only) is totally unfinished." - Toby Fox

Queen Battle Original

"Printor was not used, but his sprite and dialogue were created, as well as a printer-based song that he could play? I just thought… there's too many NPC's already." - Toby Fox

Printer Noise

"The arrangement is really early, but I created this thinking of an animated intro for the game, similar to Wild Arms. I still see it in my head when I listen to the song.
The best part would have been at the end when everyone is running up the staircase as the silhouettes of the bosses from all the chapters show up, and the Knight, standing in a white door at the top of the stairs, turns around and looks down at them..." - Toby Fox, UNDERTALE 6th Anniversary stream

I also make a lot of compilation playlists.
