"A variety of evidence, such as the game itself, the game's code, Toby Fox's tweet, and my own scientific..."

Three of the four evidences are good, but let's talk about the one that isn't:Toby Fox's tweets. Similarly to Scott Cawthon, not all of Toby Fox's statements are actually canon to Undertale:He is the Annoying Dog, you know. (From the Steam Greenlight trailer. Unless you want to disregard that piece of evidence, which only proves my point another way.) If we take all of his tweets as evidence, then Chara is the narrator, and he fought Mettaton NEO, or Mettaton MEOW, take your pick. Oh, and Temmie (the creator, not the character, but Temmie being a cat WOULD fit in with Toby being a dog..) stated that the player is Chara, so.. Paradox. Not to mention his troll of FUN's acronym. Good for MatPat, he doesn't use this meta-evidence in Part 1. (Normally, I wouldn't use the game's code as evidence, but in a game like Undertale, with Alphys' in-character quote saying you won't find his crush and where game mechanics are in the actual story and physics of Undertale, using the game's code as evidence has no problems.

"There are these Mystery Man images that some speculate might be him.. But flip it upside down, and this could ALSO be him. See the face?"

Very interesting, MatPat. Now we have THREE possible forms of Gaster. Though I suppose your point is we don't truly know what he looks like, and I agree with you there..

"Makes things really similar to FNAF.. Wacky animal hijinx, hidden plot mysteries, random Easter eggs, child murder.."

The two franchises DO both have the last three. But really, when it comes to the characters, we have animatronics vs... monsters. Undertale doesn't really have many animals, let alone HAUNTED ones. But, the two franchises ARE more similar than it seems..

"If it's one thing we know, in the world of Undertale, game mechanics aren't just game mechanics."

YES. So much yes. Actually why digging into the code for evidence isn't a complete waste of time in Undertale.

"The FUN value is like the Many Worlds Interpretation in Quantum Mechanics.."

Actually not a bad theory. It actually works out pretty well-I don't have a better theory for the Fun value of Undertale, and it's a game mechanic.. That is actually CANON in Undertale, instead of just a game mechanic.

Anyways, Part 2 will be coming soon. Hopefully it won't be like Part 2 of MatPat's Gaster theory that DIDN'T come 10 days after the first..
