Alright, let's take a look at the Pacifist Route.

If you tell Alphys to keep lying, she actually will.. Which will ruin the date and Pacifist Ending... If you say anime is not real, Undyne will think you're tricking her; just like if you say "False" to her statement about humans wielding swords up to 10x their own size-Then she'll ask you to GET OUT!

In the True Lab, Amalagamtes are actually random encounters-The ones you "fight" for the keys are, of course, a stronger variation of these. Other than that, however, the entries and events of the Lab are no different than in normal mode.. So, let's take a look at the Tapes and see if they changed a bit-If Chara killed Asriel, the tapes should have changed to reflect that, right..? ...Oh my. ...The name "Frisk" wasn't mentioned once?! Tape 1 was the same, but Tape 2 seems to show an older Asriel? Who is this "Pati"? This doesn't make sense at all! Where's Chara? ...Well, let's look at Tape 3. ...Same thing. And no mention of the pie. Alright, how about Tape 4? "...What is that? ...Pati, what are you-" ...Okay, WHAT?! Maybe Tape 5 will help solve this.

.*...The tape is silent.

...Okay then. So, it appears as though Asriel met someone named "Pati" instead of Chara, and was much older as well when it happened. Well, that would explain the different personality-It was a different person entirely! But.. what happened to Chara? Why are they never mentioned, and why didn't the plan go through?

Then there's the phone call.

"Thank you, human. You have let everything fall into place. I'll meet you soon.."

So, we reach New Home once again, and go to fight Asgore. As usual, it's interrupted by the main cast. In fact everything up until the point where Flowey becomes Asriel is the same.

"Howdy! Yep, it's me... ASRIEL DREEMURR." Here, Asriel also appears to be older.

The fight has no increased difficuly-You can still "refuse". However, Asriel's motives are different. While he still considers this all as a game, that he doesn't want to end (As he said as Flowey). You still SAVE your friends, and then attempt to SAVE Asriel. ...Cutscene? Come on, appear! SAVE Asriel with the memory of him helping Chara up! It was Pati that killed Asriel, so this shouldn't be such a bad idea! ...Chara? ...Where are you?

...It appears as though we failed to save Asriel Dreemurr. Well, I guess that's the end of the Pacifist Route, time for Genocide, coming soon...

!

What is this? ....Sans and Papyrus? Undyne and Alphys? ...They're cheering us on! And Toriel seems to be speaking to Asriel.. It seems that Toriel and Asgore will be the ones to SAVE Asriel this time, now that we SAVEd them. ...And it's actually working! Asriel's getting that feeling! Of course, he asks you to let him win because he could never predict you, that you fun to play with.. And of course, staying determined, you're left with .0000000001HP after his final attack. Then, he reverts to his normal Asriel form.

Asriel asks what your name is, and you reply that your name is Frisk. Somehow, the name seems familiar to him, even though he never met anyone with that name before. ...Okay, so Asriel hasn't met Chara, but the name is familiar..? How strange.. He thanks you for being kind-You've shown him that humans can be good too... (Pati wasn't.) The dialogue then proceeds as normal, with Asriel breaking the barrier, and even you waking up from a dream. So, what happens if you go back to the Ruins to speak to him? Well, just like before, he points out that there's no way for him to come back, and asks why you climbed the mountain, though he doesn't mention Chara climbing the mountain. Instead, he skips right to saying that there's a lot of Floweys out there in the world, and that not everything can be resolved by just being nice. He does say that the fact that he was killed when he was merely being nice to the one who killed him is what lead him to adopt his viewpoint of "kill or be killed".

The end credits are not changed at all from the original game, except for "Hard Mode" being added to the Undertale logo that appears. Tainted Pacifist is even the same, with Chara laughing-Switching over to Hard Mode won't change the fact that you gave Chara you SOUL.. Maybe it'll make more sense when I go over Hard Mode's Genocide Ending.
