Megalovania was composed by Toby Fox and first appeared in the 2009 EarthBound Halloween Hack before versions were used in Homestuck and later in Undertale in 2015. In Undertale it plays only during the Genocide route fight against Sans, turning a usually joking character into the game's hardest boss. That contrast helped the track spread far beyond the game into remixes, covers and meme edits, where its opening notes alone now signal determination, danger and an unexpectedly serious challenge for viewers everywhere online today.
