* GeniusBonus: In Shift 1, Papyrus references the nursery rhyme ''"[[https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/As_I_was_going_to_St_Ives As I was going to St. Ives]]"'' before stopping himself and calling it boring. WordOfGod confirms this, with the added layer that Papyrus doesn't appreciate puzzles with no real solutions.

* QuestionableCasting: While most of the swaps are either believable or treated as better than the original, a few choices can seem rather... ''Odd'' to those outside the fandom. A prime example: Mettaton as [[spoiler: The Fallen Child]]. Although later installments reveal some story changes that help to muddle things a bit. Mettaton wasn't [[spoiler:a Fallen Child, but a monster who thought that humans were not evil and managed to convince the other monsters to give humanity a second chance. He crossed the Barrier with the help of a fallen human, but was killed, which led to the monsters feeling betrayed and the King declaring war on humanity like in the canon universe.]]



** And of course, taking the role of one of the most tragic characters of the original and being an already highly sympathetic character comes [[spoiler: Asriel!Napstablook]]. What relatively little we even know of this incarnation's life takes their original suffering up to eleven - Whilst in Undertale, [[spoiler: their cousin Mettaton more or less ended up leaving them behind for stardom, causing them to become a sad, lonely recluse - Here? Mettacrit goes to the surface with the child of curiosity's SOUL to try and reach out to humans, is murdered by them, and poor Napstablook ended up ''turning to dust out of sheer grief''.]] Ouch.
