Comentario del artista:
Toby Fox: ("THE MAKING OF RADIATION'S HALLOWEEN HACK")
This is it, the final boss theme. I wanted to put Live A Live's Megalomania in here but I didn't get to so I made my own last boss song. I pretty much just yelled whatever I felt like into a mike and copied it down. Yep. Took forever, but it was superkickass-worth-it. Total embodiment of final bossitude.
Toby Fox: ("THE MAKING OF RADIATION'S HALLOWEEN HACK", excerpt)
also, the last boss music was a little inspired by brandish 2's, see if you can catch the similarities
Toby Fox: ("LIVE A LIVE: a conversation between Yoko Shimomura and Toby Fox", excerpts)
So, let me explain… First of all, I was 15 years old, okay? I was working on a project, and I actually just wanted to use MEGALOMANIA in it...
However, In order to do that, I would have to remake it. And so after a few minutes of trying to transcribe it, I thought "this is too hard, wouldn't it be easier to just make a new track?" So I tried to do so, inspired by MEGALOMANIA and another song.
As for why it's called "MEGALOVANIA", the theme of the project was Halloween, so I thought adding "VANIA" so the end made sense… Transylvania = Vampire = Halloween... was my chain of thoughts.
If I can talk about what makes MEGALOMANIA great for a second… Obviously the song itself is really cool, but the "secret sauce" that makes it really stand out isn't just the composition, it's the context within which it's used in the game. Because it always played at the end of the chapter, the player starts to get an almost Pavlovian-style response to it. No matter whether you're in a prehistoric world, the future, or ancient China, as soon as that track plays, your brain fully activates with "This is it... this is... the end...".
Anyway, 15-year-old me wanted a track that also gave that feeling for my own project. Hence, the similar name... Or something. [...]
[When] I had to listen to it again to remake it for UNDERTALE, it was a bit… Actually, I didn't really feel embarrassed at all. My younger self was trying his best! [...]
Supposing I ever had to write a piece that would go "even further beyond"... Personally, I do not think I would use the name "GIGALOVANIA".
