* TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers: Almost all accessible doors in the guest hall all belong to Kris's classmates: Susie, Berdly, and Jockington. However, one of the doors belongs to Catty, Catti's big sister, and the last door belongs to Asriel.

** Fans were tickled pink by the bizarre option to have Kris eat moss at one point in Chapter 1, and referenced it often in Kris fanart and comics, embracing it wholeheartedly as part of Kris being a lovably strange weirdo. Chapter 2 runs with it, establishing that, in this case, you're not forcing them to do anything against their will, Kris ''likes'' eating moss. It gets referenced in several pieces of flavor text and [[StrangeMindsThinkAlike Susie wanting to eat moss too]].
** After Chapter 1's shocking ending led to many questions about [[AmbiguouslyEvil Kris' true nature]] and whether they were [[DevilInPlainSight actually evil]] when [[RestrainingBolt outside of player control]] or had fallen under DemonicPossession courtesy of Chara, many fans believed the game would pick up to reveal that Kris had murdered some residents of Hometown after the end of the first chapter. A section of fans instead [[PlayedForLaughs Played It For Laughs]] by joking that Kris was only conjuring a knife and looking gleefully sneaky because [[PokeThePoodle they wanted to cut a piece of pie for themself]]. To the surprise and absolute delight of the latter group, this joke ''actually became canon'' with the start of Chapter 2, as offscreen Toriel first seems to react like she's being attacked by Kris with a knife, only for it to turn out she's scolding Kris when she catches them red-handed and figures out they ate the entire pie by themself last night.[[note]]Granted, that was offscreen and the ending for the second chapter confirms Kris (seemingly, along with Ralsei) is up to ''something'' they're not telling the player. However, the love they have for their family and friends in the first two chapters at least makes it clear that, whatever their plan, they're not some heartless murderer plotting to kill everyone.[[/note]]
** The Poppup fight has lighthearted allusions to all the party members' [[YourHeartsDesire interests]] with its pop-up ads, with Ralsei's and Kris' in particular clearly nods to the fandom from Chapter 1 memes:
*** Many fan depictions of Kris, both good-hearted and villainous, depict them as having an obsession with knives, similarly to fan depictions of Chara. This took hold after the [[SignatureScene memorable]] twist ending of Chapter 1, which showed Kris materializing one and then [[SlasherSmile grinning]] with [[RedEyesTakeWarning glowing red eyes]]. In the Poppup fight, one of the flavor texts for the Click act is Kris "unconsciously" clicking on "a video about making knives out of spaghetti." Their room in Queen's mansion also shows they look up videos about making jello in the shape of various knives.[[invoked]]
*** Ralsei was seen as such a cute, wholesome character in Chapter 1 that of course fans started making memes of [[CuteAndPsycho him]] [[MemeticPsychopath wielding a gun and being an adorable badass terror]]. The Poppup ads for him riff on it by having him trying to click on innocent things (like a bunny teaching you [[IJustWantToHaveFriends how to make friends]]) and accidentally clicking on ads for machine guns and bazookas instead.[[invoked]]



** One of the more popular in-jokes among the fandom is Ralsei getting a gun. If you have him click on a Poppup, one of the {{Flavor Text}}s will say he tries to click on an ad with a bunny on it that teaches how to make friends, only for an ad with a machine gun on it to appear over the previous ad with Ralsei accidentaly clicking on that.[[invoked]]

The morning after the events of Chapter 1, Susie shows up uncharacteristically early to class. Eager to revisit the Dark World, she and Kris jump back into the school's supply closet and reunite with Ralsei, who has Kris bring over the residents of Card Kingdom and turns his empty Castle Town into a thriving community. However, upon learning about their class project, Ralsei "banishes" Kris and Susie until they finish their homework.\\

Noelle does not choke Berdly; her hands are on his torso and not his neck in the sprite.


* UnsafeHaven: A lengthy sequence has the party rescue Noelle so Berdly can take her into hiding. Once the party confront Queen, they discover she had already "intercepted" Noelle and continued her plans unabated. Possibly they were delayed by Noelle ''choking'' Berdly for saying he had a crush on Susie.

* TriangRelations: Between Susie, Noelle, and Berdly, though it turns out to have a twist with which type it falls into and who fills which roles:
** It initially appears to be a Type 5 with the possibility of becoming a Type 4: Berdly (A) seems enamored with and tries to play the white knight to Noelle (B), who has a huge crush on Susie (C), who may or may not like her back in that way but definitely does at least care a lot about her.
** However, near the end of the chapter, Berdly reveals that he was only pretending to have feelings for Noelle because he thought ''she'' liked ''him'', but by now, he's ''also'' fallen for Susie, much to Noelle's fury. At this point, it falls into either a Type 4 (with Berdly as A, Susie as B, and Noelle as C) or Type 3 (with Susie as A and Berdly and Noelle as B and C) depending on whether or not Susie returns Noelle's feelings for her. (She certainly does not reciprocate Berdly's.)

* AscendedGlitch: A player discovered a [[https://youtu.be/cRFvGAaAp-A glitch]] in the Spamton NEO fight that allowed spamming charged shots. Toby swiftly patched this in the 1.05 update... by adding an internal variable called "[=FunnyCheat=]" that keeps track of how much the player uses it. Furthermore, in the 1.06 update, Spamton NEO will notice if you try to use the glitch, which causes him to get really angry and his attacks to hit harder.

* AscendedGlitch: A player AscendedGlitch:
** During the ''VideoGame/{{Undertale}}'' 6th Anniversary Stream, Toby saw players claim to be able to see Kris' right red eye during their walking animation, especially in the Dark World, and he clarified that it's really just the result of the pixels occasionally blending together. Come Chapter 2, and as a blink-and-you'll-miss-it EasterEgg, you can see a glimpse of Kris' right eye during the Dark World transformation sequence.
** Players
discovered a [[https://youtu.be/cRFvGAaAp-A glitch]] in an exploit during the Spamton NEO fight that allowed spamming them to string several charged shots. Toby swiftly patched shots together by holding either the [Z] or Enter keys while pressing the other. Rather than remove this in the 1.05 update... by adding patch for v1.05, Toby and the team kept it in and instead added an internal variable called "[=FunnyCheat=]" counter for how many times it saw use, as the "funnycheat" variable. In the patch for v1.06, it was then made so that keeps track of how much the player uses it. Furthermore, in the 1.06 update, Spamton NEO will notice if you try would actually react to use the glitch, which causes him to get really it, getting visibly angry and making his attacks deal more amounts of damage the more the player abused it. As of v1.07, it also alters his attack patterns to hit harder.make them harder to dodge, and also makes him pull out his more complex attacks earlier in the fight.
** After being removed in a patch, the misplaced pixel in the King's arena returned in the Chapter 2 update, as well as adding a misplaced pixel to Queen's arena, turning a graphical error into a subtle RunningGag.
** Older versions of Chapter 2 had a glitch where if the wheeled pots/Pipis in Queen's Mansion are interacted with without directly touching them, then they'll break without the resulting battle actually taking place. The 1.08 update kept the trick intact, but added a unique animation where said pots/Pipis rise up into the air with an accompanying sound effect.

At absolutely no point is it stated, shown, or even implied that Noelle "went on a rampage" in Queen's Mansion after freezing Berdly.


However, this isn't the only series of events possible. During Kris and Noelle's journey through Cyber City, the player can enter a toxic bond with Noelle through specific events. After pushing Noelle to go on a genocidal rampage where everything in the duo's path is frozen solid, the player makes a deal with the unhinged Spamton to become stronger, and Noelle is forced to freeze Berdly solid before wandering off in a daze. A distraught Kris reunites with Susie & Ralsei and sneaks into Queen's mansion, which Spamton has conquered as his own in the chaos. Ralsei warns Queen about the Roaring without a fight, but Spamton confronts Kris before they can seal the fountain. The player eventually forces Noelle to return and kill Spamton; from there, the story mostly continues as normal, but Berdly is unresponsive in the Light World and Noelle is left traumatized.

* EvilIsDeathlyCold: Noelle is capable of using the [=IceShock=] spell, which can freeze enemies solid. While Noelle herself isn't evil, her ice magic can only be brought to its full potential in the chapter's alternate route, which requires the player to psychologically abuse her into becoming a living weapon with the help of the opportunistic manipulator Spamton. The route culminates in her freezing Berdly with the "fatal" spell [=SnowGrave=] before going on a rampage with her ice magic, allowing Spamton to take over the Cyber World.

** Played straight in the Weird route; after you goad Noelle into killing Berdly, she takes a second to realize what she's done and just [[HeroicBSOD breaks]], wandering offscreen to go on a despair-broken rampage in Queen's mansion and not re-appearing until the Fountain is sealed off.
