Should be burning in hell.

**Sans the Skeleton** is the deuteragonist of **Undertale** and the second main opponent of the mod. His weeks consist of the songs **Whoopee**, **Sansational** and either **Final Stretch** or **Burning In Hell**, depending if the player decides to attack Sans at least three times in Sansational.

## Appearance

Sans is a short, stout skeleton that wears a blue jacket with a hood and a fluffy white trim. He wears black shorts with white stripes, and also sports pink slippers. He wears white gloves in his official appearances, but is shown with his bare skeleton hands in this mod. He has small white pupils in his sockets, which change to a singular, larger, flashing blue-and-yellow eye when he throws around the player’s SOUL. He has a monochrome color palette during the battle portions of **Sansational** (Genocide Route) and **Burning in Hell**.

In his Nightmare song, **Bad Time**, he becomes completely black with bright blue glowing eyes, and his head is aflame with bright blue fire. The back of his head is also somewhat cracked. His outlines have a dark shade of blue.

## Story

**NOTE:** The story of Undertale is too large to include here, so it is recommended you click on the links of the two routes below for more details.

As is the case with the many other main characters in Undertale, Sans’ role in the story of the game changes drastically depending on the player’s moral and ethical actions. In the **Pacifist Route**, he’s a wise-cracking friend that makes several humorous appearances throughout the game, bonding with the player and being a good friend. In the **Genocide Route**, however, he serves as the last stand against the player’s murderous rampage, and heroically faces off against them in an effort to stop them before it’s too late to turn back, only to fail tragically.

## Trivia

* Sans is the only character in the mod whose fate is determined based on Boyfriend's actions.
	+ This is, of course, based on Undertale’s morality mechanics, where the ending of the game (as well as many other aspects) varies depending on how many (or what kind of) monsters the player has killed.

* Sans acknowledges the events of Week 1 in the opening of Sansational, which references the fact that he (along with Flowey) has knowledge of the alternate timelines created when the player resets their Save File.
* The blue and orange bone notes in Sans’ Week reference the Patience (Blue) and Bravery (Orange) attacks from Undertale, where you have to stop moving on blue attacks and move on orange attacks.
* Sansational is written in lower-case Comic Sans, which is how Sans speaks in Undertale, and is also where his name comes from.
* Sans' dialogue before Whoopee references the Undertale fan-song **To The Bone**, namely the memetic lyric "Welcome to the Underground, how was the fall?"
* Oddly, unlike in Undertale, Sans doesn’t turn into dust when he’s killed by The Human in the Genocide ending of the Week.
* The beginning of Whoopie being fast and filled with mechanics and the rest being slower and more chilled possibly alludes to Sans' introduction in Undertale, in which he steps from the shadows and reaches for The Human’s hand in an intimidating fashion, only to be revealed to be a whoopee-cushion trick. The song’s name is in reference to this.
	+ It also may reference Sans’ line after surviving his first attack in his boss fight, in which he remarks why no one uses their strongest attacks first.
* Bad Time was initially meant to have a battle mode, but it was scrapped.
* Sans' older sprite was basically traced over a PhantomArcade doodle.
