"REMEMBER, you're not playing Undertale 1 anymore."
Frisk: Look, I fell into another mountain and I gotta beat up a goat chick who wants to kill me.
Sans: say no more.
Sans: say no more.
Undertale II: Revenge of the Robots (usually shortened to Undertale II) is a parody Fan Sequel to Undertale, created by Zizou with RPG Maker VX Ace and released in April 2021.
A year after the events of the original game, Frisk vacations to Japan and stumbles across another mountain with an opening at the top: Mt. Itoi. History repeats as they fall into the hole and winds up in an underground world of monsters — distinct yet similar to the one they'd left behind. After meeting Tutariel, a goat woman who takes care of the Ruins and harbors an intense fondness for The Simpsons, Frisk ends up incurring her wrath by (ostensibly) defiling one of her Homer Simpson statues. Thus, they (along with their best friend Sans Undertale, a Dummy they met shortly beforehand, and a Monk Key) set out to beat her up — the beginning of a lengthy journey throughout the new Underground that has many, many more twists and turns to come.

Undertale 2: Revenge Of The Robots contains examples of the following tropes:
- Absurdly Low Level Cap: The maximum level is 7, which most characters will hit around the time the endgame begins.
- Adaptational Species Change: Froggits are not frogs, but rather creates made of tar and bones that wear pelts with frog designs as a mark of social status. Justified, they were never Froggits in the first place, but rather a completely different species called Mares taking the appearances of Froggits using said pelts.
- Adaptational Villainy: Downplayed with Hatsune Miku. While they're generally an Interpretative Character, most depictions of them make them out to be genial or at least neutral. Here, they're portrayed as a psychopath who mind-controls her fans to buy her merch. She also killed Papyrus, a fact she openly uses to taunt Sans during her boss battle.
- All Just a Dream: The Marisa fight and the events leading up to it are all just Seriph's daydream while the real Marisa is mocking the real characters for thinking they could stand up to her, justifying the way it quickly went Off the Rails.
- Applied Phlebotinum: Clione
- Arc Number: 38
- A Winner Is You: What's your reward for achieving the Clione Milk ending? Paneton Sumletters tells you to go do something else.
- Balance, Power, Skill, Gimmick: The four main party members: Frisk is the balance for having well-rounded stats and a variety of simple skills, sans is the power for having skills primarily focused in dealing raw damage, Nazrin is the skill for her Item Crafting ability and dextrous-based attacks, and Fabio is the gimmick for being a Mechanically Unusual Class.
- Berserk Button: Tutariel is so protective of her Homer statues that she flips her lid and becomes actively hostile when she merely thinks Frisk desecrated them.
- Comic Books Are Real: Subverted— Things like Touhou and Hatsune Miku are real in the game's universe, but Undertale is not.
- Expy: Tutariel is intentionally modeled on Toriel from the original Undertale — both are goat women who take care of an underground area and meet Frisk shortly after the game begins. However, Tutariel bucks these similarities and becomes a villain before the player even leaves the first area. Much later in the game, it's revealed that she's meant to be an expy even in-universe — Marisa forced Kyouko Kasodani into becoming Toriel as part of her attempt to play Undertale in real life.
- Earn Your Bad Ending: The "Ignoramus" ending is achieved by successfully avoiding killing a single person throughout the entire game. However, since there's no way to spare enemies in battles unlike in "Undertale", the only way to do this is by avoiding battles entirely, and the game intentionally makes this a tedious endeavour by requiring the player to take secret glass pane paths (some of which are very well hidden), laying traps which will cause enemies to block you in an area and force you to fight them, doing a series of tasks in an area which includes talking to characters with a lot of dialogue while an enemy is constantly moving towards you, and even dumping a lot of enemies in areas where you would usually find none in normal playthroughs. Add in the ever-looming threat of Lancer popping out of nowhere after encountering him the first time, and you have a route which will cause players to restart the game and reload their save files a ton.
- Fan Sequel: The game is a partially Stylistic Suck sequel to Undertale that intentionally copies its basic premise (Frisk falls down another mountain, this time Mt. Itoi in Japan) but uses it as a springboard for a much more absurd story.
- The Friend Nobody Likes: Locke the Lock, the recurring NPC Roadblock who prevents you from proceeding unless you have the correct key, who acts rather jovial towards the main cast, but is simply treated as an annoyance, for being, well, an NPC Roadblock.
- Goldfish Poop Gang: Lancer appears as a Recurring Boss, but his stats don't change between encounters, causing him to quickly become more of a joke than a threat.
He is Lancer, after all. - Hello, [Insert Name Here]: The game zig-zags this trope when it comes to the four primary party members.
- The intro dialogue refers to Frisk using their Canon Name before you input anything, though the narrator switches to using the player's preferred name for them for the rest of the game. This foreshadows the fact that "Frisk" isn't actually the Frisk from Undertale, but rather another person being forced into that role.
- Played straight with the Dummy, who ask Frisk to name them during their first scene.
- Subverted with Sans. Upon receiving a package, the delivery boy can't read the recipient's name and asks Sans to confirm it. After the player enters a name, however, Sans hesitates before ignoring your input and reaffirms that his name is "sans undertale."Sans: my name....
Sans: my name is sans. sans undertale. sans undertale the skeleton. - Downplayed with Nazrin. The name you input for her is just a nickname — though she'll continue going by it for the rest of the game, her real name remains Nazrin.
- Joke Character: Monk Key. The only option he has in combat is "Monkey Around", which activates a random effect which ranges from having no effect to dealing trillions of damage to itself.
- Jump Scare: The Anglers and their reskins. In the fishing mini-game section of the game, you'll have a chance to catch Anglers from Pudding Pond onwards, which will jump towards the screen with a loud screech upon being successfully caught and force them into a battle. Fortunately, it's easy to predict when you have an Angler on your line due to its unique rendition of the usual fishing background music.
- Lethal Lava Land: It's hot and there's lava around. Yup, Hotden sure qualifies.
- Literal Metaphor: One of the "Talk" dialogues for the enemy Bart Playing Rough prompts it to say "Eat my shorts." The player then receives "Shorts," an item which can be consumed to restore health.
- Official Couple: Cai and Fabio
- Marathon Boss: The eventual fight with Tutariel has six phases, with only an opportunity to heal after the third: Against her base form, against security tape protecting her, against Locke protecting her, against the first layer of her armour, against the second layer of her armour and finally against a hulking version of her face.
- Massive Multiplayer Crossover: The game is primary based on Undertale, but it prominently features characters from other series, including Touhou Project, Super Mario Bros., No More Heroes, and Hatsune Miku.
- Mechanically Unusual Class: Each character has a gimmick to separate them from others, but some are more unconventional than others
- Fabio lacks the ability to use items or a basic attack completely, with the only options to be to use his skills or his special "Stay Still" move. He also has a much greater pressure to use MP recovery skills than other party members, as he has the lowest maximum for those that actually use it.
- Eclaire similarly lacks the ability to use a basic attack, and uses special abilities called "Runes" to switch between different movesets, completely changing her playstyle with each one. Her MP recovery skill also fully recovers her MP instead of a small amount, but costs her HP to use.
- Non-Lethal K.O.: In contrast with the original Undertale, defeating enemies violently won't kill them. Good thing too, since you can no longer ACT.
- Not His Sled: The game is presented as an Undertale parody that quickly goes off the rails. Important characters and lines show up, but in strange new contexts that alter their meanings entirely.
- Late in the game, you learn all of the Undertale characters are other people forced into the role of Undertale characters. The Froggits are actually a species called Mares posing as Froggits, Tutariel is actually Kyouko Kasodani turned into a Toriel/robot hybrid, Frisk is a fisherman named Cai Digamma and Sans was an angel named Poppycock sent to hinder Cai.
- Prisoner's Dilemma: Prisonmaster Cirno forces Frisk through one of these. Both have to independently press either the red of the green button, and if they choose the same color, they both live, but if they choose different ones, the one who pressed the green button will die. However, Cirno will always end up choosing the same color as you and it's not possible for either of you to die.
- Reconstruction: Follows much more traditional RPG formulas than the original Undertale, with the most glaring part of the reconstruction being each one's approach to violence: Undertale 2's "Pacifist Route", the Ignoramus Route, is the bad ending.
- Running Gag:
- Characters with a "Rule" sound in their name having it spelt as "Rouxl", and clarifying that they have "No relation to the handsome blue boy".
- Any time you interact with a mirror, there will be some form of Subverted Catchphrase of "Despite everything, it's still you", although it's not always a joke. Likely because the phrase was never correct in the first place.
- Shout-Out:
- The "classes" are all titles taken from the Troll Slayers
- A familiar arm protruding from a wall can appear if you play with certain FUN values.
- Naming a character "AMONGUS" results in them taking the appearance of a crewmate.
- You can name Frisk "BRAD" and the dummy "TERRY" to make them look like the respective characters from LISA.
- The fishing tutorial is delivered by Vibri from Vib-Ribbon. By naming Frisk "VIBRI", you can make them look like her.
- Surprisingly Creepy Moment: Downplayed. Despite most of the game being intentionally absurd and meme-laden, even near the end, there are a few moments that either blur the line between Surreal Humor and Surreal Horror or are downright unnerving. The Die Hards, for instance, go from a goofy-looking Optional Boss to a series of monstrosities made in Toriel's image.
- Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: Marisa's first boss fight is cut short by the police, who arrest her and put her on trial for copyright infringement.
- Talking the Monster to Death: Lancer and a couple of other enemies can be made to K.O. themselves if Frisk uses certain lines when talking to them.
