Over

Megalovania, Toby Fox's iconic boss theme from Undertale (2015) heard in the Sans fight. Creators use it for showdowns, boss-battle memes and hype edits.

Megalovania is the fast, driving boss-battle theme composed by Toby Fox for Undertale, most famously tied to the secret Sans fight at the end of the Genocide Route. The clip packs a punchy chiptune drumbeat, a relentless bassline and the instantly recognisable high-pitched synth melody that loops with escalating intensity. Even in a ten-second snippet the track feels urgent, cocky and over-the-top dramatic, which is exactly why it lands so hard in memes. Dropping it instantly frames whatever is on screen as an epic final confrontation, turning an ordinary moment into a showdown the viewer cannot look away from.

Megalovania was composed by Toby Fox and first appeared in his EarthBound Halloween Hack before becoming the theme of the secret Sans boss fight in Undertale, released in 2015. Its relentless energy made it one of the most recognisable video game tracks of the decade, spawning countless covers, remixes and mashups across YouTube and TikTok. The boss fight meme format, where the riff drops as someone enters dramatically, cemented it as internet shorthand for an overpowered opponent. It remains a staple of gaming edits and meme culture today.

Professionele tip voor gebruik

Cue the melody the instant your boss appears on screen and cut hard on the first downbeat for maximum impact. Pair it with a zoom-in or slow-motion entrance. Avoid letting it loop too long, since the riff gets repetitive fast.

  • Hyping up a friend's dramatic entrance in a video.
