Ambassador, most of the evidence you need to unlock the story of the Halloween Hack is in the Halloween Hack itself. Most of the weird dialog doesn't make sense if you make the "Dr.A is gay" assumption, but does if you view Dr.A as someone who made a pact with Giygas.

I've waited for your responses for some time. Just as the world has been waiting for me to finish The Afton Family Horcruxes. I waited for my main Undertale research to be done before then, and now I'm ready to move forward. And baring any more reasons why I should wait, I intend to do just that.

Weren't you the one that argued someone erased Gaster's memory from the world? We learned that you can totally do this in Undertale, by repeatedly killing someone and reloading a save file, since Hyperdeath Asriel threatens to do that very thing to Frisk. If so, Sans DID kill Gaster/Giygas a second time... and a third.. and a fourth... etc. It's no wonder he's a little messed up.

Many pieces of evidence in the Hack, as well as several spots of NPC dialog, remind us that we had a choice, and that we could have done better. Considering that the Hack already has a Bad and Neutral ending, I'm more certain than ever that there's an undiscovered Good Ending waiting to be found. Does Doctor Andonuts live at the end of it, or does he die like Claus? I don't know. We have to find it first. But the hack repeatedly states the goal is to try to save Doctor Andonuts, which so far nobody has achieved.

Actually, in Mother 3 timing attacks is essential to racking up a 16-hit Combo and doing massive extra damage. So both Undertale and Mother 3 each have timed attack elements.

Once again, KR during the Sans fight does mimic Mother's rolling hit point counters.

While there are certainly differences between Undertale/Deltarune and the Mother games, the similarities are strong enough they can't be ignored.
