Nice Cream guy

From Undertale Wiki

Well then... Tell your friends...
There's ice cream... Hidden in the depths of a watery cavern...

Nice Cream guy, in Waterfall

The Nice Cream guy[2] (JP: ナイスクリームの店員) is a vendor that sells Nice Cream at various locations.

Profile

Appearance

The Nice Cream guy is a light blue furred rabbit-like monster. He has a red nose and a tuft of fur sprouting from the top of his head. He wears a bright yellow short-sleeved shirt with a single, vertical red stripe in the middle, and bright red pants. He is always beside his cart, which is gray and red with a yellow and red umbrella.

Personality

The Nice Cream guy is an optimistic individual, who despite the lack of customers, keeps searching for business opportunities somewhere else.

Before the protagonist interacts with the Nice Cream guy in Snowdin and Waterfall, he has a downhearted expression, with closed eyes and ears drooping. However, he becomes very excited when the protagonist talks to him, and promptly offers them some Nice Cream.

In Hotland, if the protagonist spares the Royal Guards, they buy all of his Nice Cream, which in turn, makes him content and hopeful about the future of his business. However, if the protagonist kills the Royal Guards, the lack of customers makes him despondent, as he had hoped that people would buy Nice Cream in Hotland; and decides to leave the business. He also mentions that "life is suffering", in contrast to his usual optimistic and cheerful demeanor.

Main story

Neutral Route

The protagonist first encounters Nice Cream guy in Snowdin in the Ball Game room, where he sells Nice Cream for 15G.

In Waterfall, he is found in a cavern near Sans's telescope. Here, he sells Nice Cream for 25G and allows the protagonist to collect a Punch Card for every Nice Cream purchase. If the protagonist is carrying an umbrella, he sells Nice Cream at a discount price of 15G.

On the third floor of Hotland, before the entrance of MTT Resort, he sells Nice Cream for 12G each, explaining that it is a "going out of business sale" since people prefer Glamburgers and Starfaits instead. However, if the protagonist spares the Royal Guards, he is sold out as the duo bought everything, and offers the protagonist a big smile instead.

The Nice Cream guy disappears if the kill counter for Snowdin is exhausted. If this happens, he does not appear in Waterfall (although the flavors plastered on the ancient writings are still present) or Hotland either, regardless of if the Royal Guards were spared or killed. This in turn makes Nice Cream unavailable to be bought.

True Pacifist Route

In the True Pacifist Route, he hopes Nice Cream will be popular among humans. His expectations depend on how many Nice Creams the protagonist has bought.[3][4][5] In the True Pacifist ending credits, he can be seen on the beach selling Nice Cream.

Genocide Route

The Nice Cream guy does not appear at all in the Genocide Route, even before the kill counter for Snowdin is exhausted.

Relationships

Burgerpants

A line of dialogue while speaking with Burgerpants reveals that the Nice Cream guy knows the latter and goes to him to know if his jokes are good enough to be included in the Nice Cream's wrapper. Burgerpants states that he is not good in making jokes, but lies to him that they are good so he can get free Nice Cream from him.[1]

Outside of Undertale

Nice Cream guy, who is named Blue Ears, appears in Deltarune where he works at ICE-E's P"E"ZZA alongside with Pizzapants (Burgerpants' counterpart in Deltarune). He generally has an upbeat attitude while also wanting Pizzapants to be happy as well.

Trivia

  • Despite the Punch Card discount, the deal he offers in Snowdin is better than the one provided in Waterfall if the protagonist does not bring an umbrella to the stand; the cost for four Nice Creams in Snowdin is 60G while it is 75G in Waterfall.
    • However, as the Punch Cards alone can be sold for 15G (the buy price while carrying an umbrella), selling Punch Cards at Tem Village can yield free GOLD. This is only one of several ways to farm GOLD.
