• In the game some tracks are shown to have different titles:
  • Field of Hopes and Dreams is titled The Field of Hopes and Dreams on the music graphic that appears upon entering the area.
  • Lancer is titled I'm The Bad Guy! in the Music Shop in Castle Town.
• In the background of "ANOTHER HIM", static noises that were used in Giygas's theme from EarthBound can be heard.
  • Additionally, "Weird Birds" is likely a reference to the unorthodox leitmotif heard throughout EarthBound's soundtrack.
• "Before the Story" originally debuted as a part of a dynamic theme for the PS4/PSVita versions of Undertale. The theme is named after Undertale's Ruins, and depicts Undertale's Home with Waterfall's light blue stars overhead.
  • It is also featured in the Undertale Collector's Edition Exclusive Soundtrack.
• "The Legend" is the only song that changes time signatures during the song, from 4/4 to 6/8 near the end.
• "Lantern" plays 0.95x slower in-game compared to the official soundtrack version of the track.
• "Don't Forget" is sung by Laura Shigihara, who is also known to have composed the soundtrack for Plants vs. Zombies.
• "April 2012" was originally made for a Homestuck-related project, pitched down and named demoscene.oga, along with muscles.oga which reappeared as "sans." in the Undertale Soundtrack and the Deltarune Chapter 2 soundtrack.
• The strings in "THE HOLY" were a leitmotif of the end credits from Mega Man X5, originally marked in 0:20.
• A version of "THE HOLY" was posted in the music section of Toby's website on 12 July 2015 as treasure_discovered.mp3.
• The tracks "School," "The Door," "The Chase," "Lancer," "Rude Buster," "Empty Town," "Lantern," "Rouxls Kaard", "Hip Shop," "Gallery," "Darkness Falls," "THE HOLY," "Your Power," "A Town Called Hometown," "You Can Always Come Home," and "Before the Story" also play in Deltarune Chapter 2.
  • "School," "The Door," "Lancer," "Rude Buster," "Lantern," "Rouxls Kaard," "Darkness Falls," "THE HOLY," "Your Power," "A Town Called Hometown," and "You Can Always Come Home" serve the same purpose as they do in Chapter 1.
  • "Hip Shop" plays inside Swatch's Color Cafe.
  • "Empty Town" plays before the Darkners from Chapter 1 are brought from the unused classroom and into Castle Town, after which the track "My Castle Town" plays for the remainder of the time there.
  • "Gallery" plays when it is revealed that Queen has plugged Berdly and kidnapped Noelle Holiday.
  • "The Chase" plays in Annoying Mouse Room 3 before Berdly shows up.
• In Undertale, there is a drawing in Sans's workshop that reads, "don't forget." This is possibly connected to the Deltarune track "Don't Forget" and its lyrics.
• "Vs. Susie" resembles a theme for a third-person shooter section in Contra.
• A sped-up and slightly lower-quality version of "Your Power" is played when Tenna sponsors the Dark Fountain. The sound and the track are two separate files, with the former being an internal sound named snd_ftext_dark_fountain and the latter being an external sound named snd_usefountain.
