'Once Upon a Time C': 0:58-1:27

Undertale
Overtop of 'Memory', Undertale primarily features 'Once Upon a Time A':
'Once Upon a Time A': 0:37-2:49, 3:26-4:42
'Home' )
At 2:49, the song temporarily drops the 'Memory' motif, and the melody changes to 'Once Upon a Time A':
'Once Upon a Time B': 2:49-3:26
From there, 'Once Upon a Time A' resumes until 4:42, at which point the melody progresses to different version of the motif, reminiscent of Asgore's theme, 'Bergentrückung' :
'Once Upon a Time A': 4:42-5:20
Finally, 'Once Upon a Time A' returns in its standard form, transposed up a semitone, and with a few small modifications:
'Once Upon a Time A': 5:20-5:57
undertale (unused)
Overtop a version of 'Home', undertale (unused) features 'Once Upon a Time A', just like the final version with 'Memory' :
'Once Upon a Time A': 0:32-2:40
And just like the final with 'Memory', undertale (unused) also drops 'Home' upon progressing to 'Once Upon a Time B':
'Once Upon a Time B': 2:40-3:12
Finally, unlike the final version of the song, 'Once Upon a Time B' stays put, while 'Once Upon a Time C' backs it up, like in Once Upon a Time 's middle section:
'Once Upon a Time B and C': 3:12-4:00
The Choice
The Choice is timestamps 2:30-2:47 of Undertale slowed to 15% speed (with some effects added):
Speeding it back up reveals 'Once Upon a Time A' and 'Memory' :
Fallen Down (Reprise)
Following a reprise of Toriel's Theme, 'Fallen Down', 'Once Upon a Time' is syncopated into a 3/4 time signature to fit in with the rest of the song:
'Once Upon a Time A': 1:18-1:44
'Once Upon a Time B': 1:44-2:10
'Once Upon a Time C': 2:10-2:30
Hopes and Dreams
First, Hopes and Dreams starts out with a violin rendition of 'Once Upon a Time A':
'Once Upon a Time A': 0:00-0:22
Before leading into an electric guitar-backed chiptune rendition:
'Once Upon a Time A': 0:22-0:44
From there, the song does roughly the same with 'Once Upon a Time C':
'Once Upon a Time C': 0:44-1:07
'Once Upon a Time C': 1:07-1:29
After a quote of Flowey's theme, 'Your Best Friend', 'Once Upon a Time C' is transposed up a semitone, like 'Once Upon a Time A' in Undertale :
'Once Upon a Time C': 1:52-2:14
Finally, the song closes on a quote of 'Hopes and Dreams' .
SAVE the World
In SAVE the World , 'Once Upon a Time A' similarly plays in the opening of the song, interspliced with 'Your Best Friend' :
'Once Upon a Time A': 0:00-0:05, 0:10-0:15
After doing the same with 'Home', the song then quotes 'Once Upon a Time C', in a manner similar to Hopes and Dreams :
'Once Upon a Time C': 0:42-1:46
Finally, the song ends on a quote of 'Your Best Friend' .
Final Power
Similar to The Choice , Final Power is a portion of Hopes and Dreams , reversed, slowed, and with added echo:
Reversing it reveals 'Once Upon a Time C':
Reunited
Reunited first quotes 'Once Upon a Time A' over a backing reminiscent of 'Another Medium' :
'Once Upon a Time A': 0:44-1:43
Before quoting 'Once Upon a Time B':
'Once Upon a Time B': 1:43-2:42
And then 'Once Upon a Time C':
'Once Upon a Time C': 2:57-3:26
Before remixing it and upping the intensity of the instrumentation, like in Hopes and Dreams and SAVE the World :
'Once Upon a Time C': 3:26-3:55
Finally, like Hopes and Dreams , the song quotes the 'Hopes and Dreams' motif leading into its coda.

Bring It In, Guys!
'Once Upon a Time A': 3:47-4:12
Last Goodbye
Making up for its absence in Hopes and Dreams and SAVE the World , 'Once Upon a Time B' gets its remix at the beginning of Last Goodbye :
'Once Upon a Time B': 0:02-0:23
Like the opening to SAVE the World , Last Goodbye features a snippit of 'Once Upon a Time, Part 1', cut off by 'Your Best Friend' :
'Once Upon a Time A': 0:24-0:29
After doing the same with 'Home', the song then cuts to what seems to be a recording of Toby Fox playing a piano rendition of 'Once Upon a Time B':
'Once Upon a Time B': 0:45-1:08
The song resumes with 'Once Upon a Time C':
'Once Upon a Time C': 1:08-1:29
Which is then capped off with a leadup into a remix of 'Your Best Friend' :
'Once Upon a Time C': 1:29-1:34
Which then leads into the coda; another recording of Toby Fox playing a piano rendition, this time of 'Once Upon a Time A':
'Once Upon a Time A': 1:53-2:15
Good Night
'Once Upon a Time A': 0:00-0:28

Beginning
In Beginning , 'Once Upon a Time C' is used to cap off the song, mirroring its use in Once Upon a Time :

(See also: 'Don't Forget' and 'Girl Next Door' )
You Can Always Come Home
'Once Upon a Time A': 0:19-0:56
Despite being a reprise of Home , You Can Always Come Home doesn't contain 'Once Upon a Time B', as it's replaced by 'Don't Forget B', backed up by 'Once Upon a Time C':
'Once Upon a Time C': 1:19-1:33
This quote of 'Once Upon a Time C' and 'Don't Forget B' are both cut off by a quote of 'Hometown (Extra)' .
Before the Story
'Once Upon a Time A': 0:29-1:28
Note that despite its use in Deltarune (and the apparent presence of the 'THE HOLY' leitmotif), this song actually originates from an Undertale PS4 theme.
Dog Check
Since 'Once Upon a Time B' isn't present in You Can Always Come Home , its only appearance in Deltarune 's soundtrack thus far is in this six second portion of the error handler screen music.
As a 'Once Upon a Time B' enjoyer, I'm outraged.
'Once Upon a Time B': 0:27-0:33
(See also: 'Dogsong' and 'Don't Forget' )
Dog Check (8th Anniversary Version)
Thankfully, for Undertale 's 8th anniversary, the merch announcement was backed by a new rendition, featuring 'Once Upon a Time B' in all its glory.
As a 'Once Upon a Time B' enjoyer, I'm overjoyed.
'Once Upon a Time B': 0:14-0:58
It even has a rendition of Home and Home (Music Box) 's ending to the melody!
