Hopes and Dreams is the theme for the final battle against Asriel Dreemurr in Toby Fox's Undertale, released in 2015, during the game's True Pacifist route. Its extended fan versions stretch the track's most recognisable section for reuse in edits, where the song's association with determination, friendship and a hard-won ending gives even short clips instant emotional weight. That connection has kept it popular with Undertale fans and gaming editors long after the original release.
