The year has already started with a curiosity: A video shows an artist performance for Pope Francis for the legendary gaming music hit Megalovania from Undertale.
This is how the year can begin: Thanks to a group of circus performers, the first meme-worthy video is haunted the net just a week after the start of 2022. It shows a performance in front of the Catholic head of the church, Pope Francis, but the music that is played should be familiar to almost every gamer. It’s about the legendary track “Megalovania” that Toby Fox composed for Undertale.
The performance was part of an audience during which the Pope greeted and blessed members of the public. The video excerpt from YouTube-Kanal Vatican News was released, went viral after Twitter-User Ultima spread it.
“Megalovania” is part of the soundtrack of the indie hit Undertale. The title can be heard in the boss fight against the skeleton Sans. An ending that can only be achieved if numerous characters have been killed in the course of the game. The song is one of the most famous pieces from Undertale and has been remixed countless times and used for memes. But who knows, maybe Pope Francis is not hearing “Megalovania” for the first time. In 2016, YouTuber MatPat presented the pontiff with a copy of Undertale. Who knows if he didn’t take the genocidal route and fought against sans.
