    The “Checkerboard” in the name, comes from the background of the earthbound naming screen - it being a blue checkerboard.

    Everyone's heard of Megalo Strike Back, but nobody bothered to check Toby's other songs in this album... Why?

      PhantomKitten idk, but this is one of my favorites. I just like the sweet melody it has, and then you hear in the distance low sounds that sound slightly disturbing in a way. Like something isn’t right...sorry, I like analyzing music too much-

    • @dja3116

      Probably because the title is similar to Megalovania

      I always wonder if people think they're somehow complimenting Toby at all when they like all his older stuff but consistently put down anything related to Undertale, because it always seems like an insult to me. I'm under the impression that whenever anyone says his Earthbound stuff was better, they say it because Earthbound isn't associated with a bad fandom not because it is actually better in any technical way compared to his newer work.
