Unused Music Tracks

This is a page containing many tracks not present in *Deltarune* or its Chapter 1 or Chapter 2 soundtrack.

## Within the game files

### thrash\_rating

The filename of this track implies that it would have been used in the Thrashing Room.

### cyber\_battle

This track goes unused in-game, and sounds like an early version of *Cyber Battle (Solo)*. This may have been the first arrangement of the song before it was arranged by Lena Raine.

### Noelle (unused)

This track, named `noelle.ogg` in the game files, seems to be an early version of *Girl Next Door*, one of Noelle's themes.

### WELCOME TO THE CITY (cybercity\_old)

An early version of *WELCOME TO THE CITY*, which Toby Fox posted on Twitter 2 years prior. This version is in 160 BPM, while the used one (`cybercity.ogg`) is in 152 BPM.

### static\_placeholder

Static noises. Most likely just a placeholder. The noise produced by the TV in the ending is titled `tv_noise.ogg` instead.

### audio\_menu

This appears to be an early version of *Faint Courage*, the Chapter 2 game over music. Judging by its filename, it was likely intended to be used for the Chapter 2 menu screen music before being replaced with *Faint Glow*. It was only included in the Mac 1.00 version. Interestingly, despite having a "AUDIO\_" prefix, the filename is actually in lowercase, like every other music file in Mac builds.

### spamton\_house

This track, named `spamton_house.ogg` in the game files, appears to be a variant of *Digital Roots* that is sped up and has the wind-like ambience removed. The filename implies this track was meant to play in the room outside Spamton's shop, but most likely went unused as that room's small size meant only a few seconds of the track would be heard.

## Outside the game files

### Lost Girl (alternate)

> Of course, that's not the only version of that song. Lots and lots of things happen. I just hope you can be friends with everyone someday.

This track was posted with *Lost Girl* and *WELCOME TO THE CITY (cybercity\_old)* on Twitter for the 4th anniversary of *Undertale*. It is part of a longer alternative version of *Lost Girl* featuring an additional string section and piano section.

### School (alternate)

> 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?

This track was presented on the *Undertale* 6th anniversary stream as the first scrapped *Deltarune* track. It was scrapped because Toby Fox did not want to overuse the main theme.

### Checkerboard

> 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...

This track was presented on the *Undertale* 6th anniversary stream as the second scrapped *Deltarune* track. It would have played on the Great Board, but it was scrapped because the area itself isn't very long.

### Epic Rouxls Battle

> 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 defeat him in one hit.
> So, I didn't do anything with this one.

This track was presented on the *Undertale* 6th anniversary stream as the third scrapped *Deltarune* track. It would have played during the first battle with Rouxls Kaard. Similarly to Checkerboard, it was scrapped as unfitting, as Toby Fox realized Rouxls Kaard is not an epic character at all.

### Character Joined (Long)

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

>  Toby Fox, *Undertale* 6th anniversary stream

This track was presented on the *Undertale* 6th anniversary stream as the fourth scrapped *Deltarune* track. It would have played when Susie joined the party, but it was scrapped for being too long.

### King Boss (Orchestral)

> 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.
>
>  Toby Fox, *Undertale* 6th anniversary stream

This track was presented on the *Undertale* 6th anniversary stream as the fifth scrapped *Deltarune* track. It was scrapped as unfitting, and only first 40 seconds of it were made.

### Legend (Alternate)

> I made like three different versions of the song.
> This version was pretty good too, but the intro has the wrong atmosphere.
>
>  Toby Fox, *Undertale* 6th anniversary stream

This track was presented on the *Undertale* 6th anniversary stream as the sixth scrapped *Deltarune* track. It was scrapped as the intro had the wrong atmosphere.

### Fountain (unused)

> 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 this song in the game somewhere.

This track was presented on the *Undertale* 6th anniversary stream as the seventh scrapped *Deltarune* track. It was scrapped, but Toby Fox has expressed interest in getting this song used somewhere in the game.

### Game Main Theme (Piano Sketch)

> 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...

This track was presented on the *Undertale* 6th anniversary stream as the eighth scrapped *Deltarune* track. It was scrapped for unspecified reasons.

### Berdly (Rejected Concept)

This track, released with Bandcamp, Spotify, Deezer and iTunes versions of the OST, seems to be the early version of *Berdly*, one of Berdly's themes.

### Hometown Day, My Funky Town, and Green Room (Chapters 3+)

These tracks were posted on the Deltarune September 2022 Status Update. These are some of the tracks that will be used in Chapters 3, 4, and 5 of Deltarune.

### sneaking.mp3

> 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...

This track was included in the Autumn 2023 *Undertale/Deltarune* Newsletter. It was meant to play for a planned stealth-focused section in Chapter 3, but it was scrapped because it was determined that the section would not be fun.

Although its use of the *Lost Girl* motif may imply the section had relevance to Noelle or Dess Holiday, Toby Fox has noted that the motif may show up even when Noelle isn't there.
