The DogDollar that Kris obtains from the Annoying Dog's alleyway in Cyber City contains unused dialogue for if the player attempts to use it, reading "(Where'd this come from?)". In normal gameplay, the DogDollar can't be selected like a typical item, making this text impossible to see without hacking.

In the original release of Chapter 2, Spoiler:the "WRECK", "PAUSE", and "SPEW" VCR icons that appear during Spamton NEO's ultimate attack only showed up during the hidden Weird Route, and thus were absent from his fight during the normal route. While this difference was initially interpreted by fans as an intentional artistic decision, in actuality it was the result of an oversight: Spoiler:the icons were coded to appear at certain coordinates relative to the room where Spamton NEO is encountered. Because the fight on the normal route moved Spamton NEO and the player far out of range, the icons were consequently left offscreen.
This error was eventually fixed in the v1.08 patch, with Spoiler:the icons appearing in the proper location on both routes instead of just one. The patch additionally adds a new smoke effect after Spoiler:Spamton NEO's ultimate attack ends on both routes.

Within the data for Chapter 2 are unused animations for both Lancer and Rouxls Kaard where they transform into their respective Light World forms (a Jack of Spades card and a rules card) when entering the player's inventory. In typical gameplay, the associated code for these animations is deactivated, with Lancer & Rouxls simply sliding into Kris' sprite.

The CHECK description for Spoiler:the Pipis enemies, which can only be encountered on the Weird Route, reads "Pipis - ''The Original'' An invasive species of freshwater clam." This appears to reference two real-world entities that Spoiler:are also called Pipis. The first portion of the description seems to nod to a restaurant in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, which uses the tagline "The Original." The second portion, meanwhile, references a pair of edible saltwater clam species in Australia and New Zealand; the use of these clams as food is further referenced with Spoiler:Kris' "Fried Pipis" ACT during the Spamton NEO fight at the end of the Weird Route.

Within the data for Chapter 2 is an alternate, sped-up version of "Digital Roots" that lacks the ambient wind sounds. The existence of this track is a marked deviation from the rest of both Deltarune and Undertale, which otherwise speed up and slow down tracks in real time.
The filename for this unused variation is "spamton_house.ogg"; as "Digital Roots" itself uses the filename "spamton_basement.ogg", this seems to imply that the faster version was originally meant for Spamton's shop, which instead uses "Dialtone" (named Spoiler:"spamton_neo_after.ogg" in the game's files) in the final game.

The intro to the track "WELCOME TO THE CITY" interpolates the chorus melody to "74", a 2018 song performed by J-pop singer Itoki Hana that Toby Fox had previously composed and provided guest vocals for.

After reaching the lobby of Queen's mansion in Chapter 2, if the player backtracks all the way back to and interacts with the very first save point in Cyber Field, the accompanying flavor text will change, noting how the player has already seen this area before riffing on how their backtracking served no real purpose whatsoever.

The track "Honksong.ogg", which plays during the traffic jam that prevents Kris from going past the Librarby in Chapter 2's prologue, interpolates excerpts from the Undertale tracks "Your Best Friend", "Spear of Justice", "Dogsong", and "Metal Crusher".

If the player has a full equipment inventory when Spoiler:defeating Spamton NEO, he will give special dialogue lambasting Kris for this, noting how they most likely clogged their inventory on purpose before angrily running off. Spoiler:The Dealmaker/PuppetScarf can then be found in a chest en route to the basement's exit.

Within the data for the itch.io Mac 1.00 version of Chapter 2 is an early version of "Faint Courage", written in a lower key and lacking certain instrumental tracks compared to the final arrangement. The filename for this rendition is "audio_menu.ogg", implying that it was originally written for the Chapter 2 main menu before being refitted for the game over screen. The released game instead uses "Faint Glow" (which is replaced with "Before the Story" after completing the chapter), titled "menu.ogg" in the game's files, for the main menu. All other releases and revisions of Chapter 2 remove this unused song from the game's data.

Kris and Noelle are normally the only characters who can traverse the "DECEMBER" hallway in Cyber City, where their outlines appear while walking behind buildings in the foreground. Despite this, all other possible party members are programmed to display outlines if hacked into this area, including Berdly and the Original Starwalker, who can only normally appear as party members at the carnival (though they both use blue outlines like Kris instead of having color-coded ones like Noelle, Susie, and Ralsei).

In battle, Susie's UltimatHeal move is tied to her magic stat like most other spells, and consequently recovers more HP should the player boost her stats through hacking. However, in the cutscene where she first demonstrates it to Kris, it is hard-coded to only heal 2 HP regardless of circumstance.

On Twitter, Toby Fox revealed that he didn't know how people would receive the character of Spamton, and he even thought that he would be negatively received. His fears were exacerbated after the character got a disdainful and disgusted reaction from test players. However Spamton, nonetheless, turned out to be popular with fans and even garnered his own cult following with the massive sales and popularity of his merchandise not being able to meet demand at times.

The phone in Spamton's shop is hard-coded to ring in time with the shop's background music, "Dialtone". Hacking the game to turn off the song results in the phone remaining motionless indefinitely.

In the livestreamed playthrough of Chapter 1 conducted for Undertale's sixth anniversary, Toby Fox stated that he originally envisioned the game having a greater visual contrast between the Light World and Dark World, with the former looking "drab" and simplistic and the latter having more vibrant, detailed graphics in the vein of Chrono Trigger or Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars.
Similarly, the Light World was at one point planned to be populated entirely by humans, and the Dark World entirely by monsters, with humans turning into monsters when they enter the latter. According to Fox, the idea was removed for "a lot of reasons," most prominently a desire to better distinguish the project from Undertale.

Within the data for Chapter 2 are unused graphics for an alternate, more detailed version of the scene where Ralsei heals Susie after the first Berdly fight. Among other things, these graphics depict Susie's hand bleeding, deviating from the established portrayal of monsters being made entirely from magic (and consequently lacking blood); it's likely that this contradiction is the reason why the graphics went unused.

In Chapter 2, Kris' eye can briefly be seen during the cutscene that plays whenever they and Susie enter a Dark World, appearing just before the pair plunge down at the end of the transition. This appears to nod to a graphical quirk present since Chapter 1, where the pixels in Kris' sprite will occasionally blend together while walking around, resulting in a red dot sometimes appearing in roughly the same area of their face by mistake.
