Development

The game's soundtrack was entirely composed by Toby Fox with FL Studio. A self-taught musician, he composed most of the tracks with little iteration; the game's main theme, "Undertale", was the only song to undergo multiple iterations in development. The soundtrack was inspired by music from Super Nintendo Entertainment System role-playing games—such as EarthBound and Live A Live{{cite news |last=Gray |first=Kate |date=February 10, 2022 |work=Nintendo Life |title=Random: Undertale's 'Megalovania' Was Inspired By Square's Super Famicom RPG 'Live A Live' |url=https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2022/02/random-undertales-megalovania-was-inspired-by-squares-super-famicom-rpg-live-a-live |access-date=July 23, 2022 |archive-date=July 23, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220723023054/https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2022/02/random-undertales-megalovania-was-inspired-by-squares-super-famicom-rpg-live-a-live |url-status=live }}bullet hell series Touhou Project, the chiptune band Anamanaguchi,{{cite book |last1=Fox |first1=Toby |last2=Peacock |first2=David |date=January 1, 2017 |title=Undertale Piano Collections |chapter=Hopes and Dreams |asin=B072PVZ1SK |quote=...the way I arranged [Hopes and Dreams] in game is inspired by the band Anamanaguchi}} as well as the webcomic Homestuck, for which Fox provided some of the music. Fox also stated that he tries to be inspired by all music he listens to, particularly those in video games. According to Fox, over 90% of the songs were composed specifically for the game. "Megalovania", the song used during the boss battle against Sans, had previously been used within Homestuck and in one of Toby Fox's EarthBound ROM hacks. For each section of the game, Fox composed the music prior to programming, as it helped "decide how the scene should go". He initially tried using the music tracker FamiTracker to compose the soundtrack, but found it difficult to use. He ultimately decided to play segments of the music separately, and connect them on a track.{{cite AV media |last1=Scarnewman |first1=Bobby |last2=Aldenderfer |first2=Kris |last3=Fox |first3=Toby |title=Toph & Scar Show S1 SEASON FINALE – ft.

Undertale{{'s}} soundtrack has been well received by critics as part of the success of the game, in particular for its use of various leitmotifs for the various characters used throughout various tracks. In particular, "Hopes and Dreams", the boss theme when fighting Asriel in the pacifist playthrough, a run-through where the player avoids killing any monster, brings back most of the main character themes, and is "a perfect way to cap off your journey", according to USgamer's Nadia Oxford. Oxford notes this track in particular demonstrates Fox's ability at "turning old songs into completely new experiences", used throughout the game's soundtrack. Tyler Hicks of GameSpot compared the music to "bit-based melodies".

The Undertale soundtrack had frequently been covered by various styles and groups. As part of the fifth anniversary of the game, Fox streamed footage with permission of a 2019 concert of the Undertale songs performed by Music Engine, an orchestra group in Japan, with support of Fangamer and 8–4.{{cite web |first1=Hayley |last1=Williams |url=https://www.gamespot.com/articles/you-can-now-watch-the-undertale-orchestral-concert-free-on-youtube/1100-6482225/ |title=You Can Now Watch The Undertale Orchestral Concert Free On YouTube |date=September 15, 2020 |access-date=September 16, 2020 |work=GameSpot |language=en |archive-date=September 18, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200918064701/https://www.gamespot.com/articles/you-can-now-watch-the-undertale-orchestral-concert-free-on-youtube/1100-6482225/ |url-status=live }}
