* DerangedAnimation: [=P0pcorn=] [=Pr1nce=]'s original version of the AU featured much more exaggerated and expressive character designs, in contrast to ''Undertale'''s ThinLineAnimation. Some other artists' takes go for a similar style.

The original idea of ''Underswap'' was never a full personality swap, though Frisk/Chara, Flowey/Temmie and Burgerpants/Nice Cream Guy did fully swap personalities. Other characters either remained the same as in canon or were given a mix of traits to share between them. As the AU grew more popular, more full switches were made until almost everyone swaps with someone. Generally, characters will switch personalities as well as roles. Though some quirks tend to stick in places, or else are modified. Examples include; Sans taking on the role of the excitable, confident, extremely optimistic human hunter, while Papyrus becomes the laid back, protective bro following Chara (who is swapped with Frisk), and so on.

* DiesDifferentlyInAdaptation: Almost every character due to the nature of a RoleSwapAU. They'll usually "inherit" the death of their canon counterpart. A few examples:
** Asgore being killed as the Boss/final encounter in the Ruins instead of New Home.
** In the Genocide route, Temmie/Monster Kid is killed by Chara (possessed by Frisk) instead of dying offscreen with everyone else when the world is destroyed.
** Sans dying in Snowdin as the Boss of the violent routes, and Papyrus dying in New Home as the Genocide route's Final Boss.

''Underswap'' is an ''VideoGame/{{Undertale}}'' RoleSwapAU and FanVerse in which various pairs of characters switch roles with each other, with the subsequent story exploring how plot events alter, diverge, or stay the same because of this.
The original idea of ''Underswap'' was never a full personality swap, though Frisk/Chara, Flowey/Temmie and Burgerpants/Nice Cream Guy did fully swap personalities. Other characters either remained the same as in canon or were given a mix of traits to share between them. As the AU grew more popular, more full switches were made until almost everyone swaps with someone. Generally, characters will switch personalities as well as roles. Though some quirks tend to stick in places, or else are modified. Examples include; Sans taking on the role of the excitable, confident, extremely optimistic human hunter, while Papyrus becomes the laid back, protective bro following Chara (who is swapped with Frisk), and so on.
The creator of the ''Underswap'', Popcorn [=Pr1nce=], has since left the fandom and [[KeepCirculatingTheTapes deleted the original page]]. The AU lives on as a shared FanVerse with various art, fanfics and fan games still being created.
