 * The time travel and timelines refers to the resets plotline in undertale, not anything in Earthbound

I was referring to Sans' teleportation and "shortcuts."

*The badge is likely referring to the implication he worked with Alphys at some point (look at her neutral ending) with it representing some sort of research team

Link?

*His clothes do not resemble ness

The shorts are spot-on, the white shirt under his hoodie resembles one of Ness' alternate costumes, the glowing eye has been discussed previously, and the slippers resemble the ones Ness wore when he was in pajamas.

*It was impied that game's protagonist, Varik, was simply an alter ego of Ness, as evidenced by the game over screen and several other things

Source?

*That's because of the karmic retribution thing, something never brought up in earthbound

The "rolling HP" meter is a core component of EarthBound's gameplay, but no similar gameplay concept is ever seen or mentioned in Undertale outside of Sans' fight.

This is a good start, though. FYI, if you disproved all the bullet points in Post #341 or, at the very least, leave less than three open to debate, the idea of Sans being Ness would be (in my eyes, at least) dismissable.
