I’d never think to play Punch Out in Deltarune.

[explodingegg]

really cool how toby made a Punch Out type kinda idk "minigame" i guess.

[blazycatto]

I love how they bully kris for not reaching the arcade with [SELF ESTEEM DESTROYED]

[bonegamerthecyndaquill]

"Your Transformation Is Combining All Your Weak Points"

[Way later, and spoilers]

"Oh No It Appears I Am Evenly Matched"

these sentences mean a lot. I can't piece together how exactly it counts as character development, but... I like it

[XiaoAndyPugMan]

Kinda neat how Toby foreshadowed the final battle against Giga Queen here. The Skillful game design I've come to expect

[redtomato]

Last thing I expected from this game was a knockout style minigame

[SPOILERS]

And then for it to be repeated for the final boss! This chapter was insane and I am seriously excited for what toby fox has in store for the next 5 chapters!

[turinmormegil]

Yes, Queen blasted my self steam into oblivion on the first try with her "gamer violence". Damn I was too rusty ever since 2018. How the hell did I kill Jevil, for real? Am I the same guy from 3 years ago?

[ralseithedarkprince]

I didn't know kris was so good at fighting games!

[SalutingHades]

If I had a nickel for every time an arcade machine foreshadowed the second phase of a major upcoming boss in a follow-up to Undertale, I would have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.

I can't believe Toby just did Punch-Out! better than any modern remake.
Also love how if you interact with the back of the arcade machine, the game tells you you can't game from back there.
Also also: Tity

[izazifizazi]

its criminal this is so short it goes so hard and for what

[minetieplays]

pretty much every song with this leitmotif in it slaps

[ThaGoldMaster]

I love the foreshadowing of this because the Queen boss fight was the best fight so far in the series.

[michaelsbasement]

I just recently played punch out and then just...
wow
I was feeling so great

[mrsrodan]

This song has been stuck in my head for years now

[TheRealSuperKirby]

*flashbacks to rat battle from enter the gungeon*

[peter_ukraine]

This part of the game was really fun to play ngl. It's great how it was foreshadowing the final boss fight as well. Classic Toby Fox writing.

[TheAdvertisement]

I can't help but say the title in an evil villain voice.
Love how this song takes Queen's melody but alters it slightly. 0:00 it starts with just Queen part 1 converted into an 8-bit theme, but at
0:04, the melody switches to a syncopated part instead of the arching 8th notes from Queen. In fact the altered version, which I'll call Queen part 1B, replaces the second part of Queen's Theme in a lot of the other songs her motif is used in. It makes that part in the original Queen more unique and really fits her quirky style for when she's just chatting better, and the two area themes it's used in, while saving this syncopated rhythm for the more action-packed scenes.
Then at 0:14 Queen 1B repeats, with a second part duetting it with the same motif, except at
0:22 it alters _again_ to a Queen 1C, a changed version of that syncopated melody that doesn't appear anywhere except in Giga Size! A fitting return, considering both scene's affiliation with Punch-Out! robots!

That arcade game XD I never knew Ralsei would Copy and Paste Lancer

[Neo-Metal]

This Punch Out battle is a diversion of Giga Queen.
