*creepy 8-bit noises overlaid with aggressive... what genre would you call this?*

Here we have the second and last instrumental track. I'll say it again, a boss fight theme is not the same thing as a villain song. This gets the tiniest point for characterization over the other instrumental track, as this does actually provide some sort of characterization in the form of tone. It's not just an action track, it's fast-paced action mixed with sinister creepiness and glitching noise. It's about the most I can see giving to an instrumental track here, though I'd love to be proven wrong. Still can't give it anything for villainy though, because there's nothing villainous happening in the song. It's just music.

That being said, this rocks. I've never heard of Undertale Yellow before this, but usually fansongs or, in this case, songs from fangames don't fare all that well here musically, as they're often just offshoots of existing stuff that only serves to make you wish you were listening to the originals (last time's big exception being Stained, Brutal Calamity from Terraria Calamity which goes ungodly hard). This doesn't ever give me that perception though; it takes a small, recognizable tune from the original game and creates something new simply using it as a base.
