Sugar Rush: Reloaded

The Roster

(Changes will be made as more racers get added later on)

Sugar Rush 1984 aka Sugar Rush 2 (2014)

A sequel game to Sugar Rush (2010), set in 1984 and with the strong 80s aesthetic to match.

Sugar Rush (2010)

The original game, which was released in 2010 in this setting rather than 1997. Turbo hacked the game and his reign had been going on for 2 years. In this version, 6 new racers would join the roster after a player had managed to beat Grand Prix mode, coincidentally on the same day that Ralph himself would end up crash-landing there.

Is making Fanart or Ocs of this Au Okay? I’m asking because your characters are super cute and I would love to draw them, but I totally understand why not.

Also, one more. Do the newbies see King Candy’s Transformation into Turbo?

Yes, of course! Thank you for asking! Go on right ahead, and feel free to tag me.

Also yes. Thanks to Gummli's technological skills, they have deep knowledge of the game's inner workings. While they fled to Game Central Station with everyone else, Gummli used their tech pad (called Gummy-Pad) to link up to the Jumbotron to locate Vanellope, projecting the same feed on the wall in front of them. Not only did the newbies see it, but so did everyone in the whole station present at the time.

¿Sugar Shores tiene un líder que lo dirija o no?

2. Imagino que el lugar debe tener seguridad en la entrada del pueblo para asegurar que los corredores de Sugar Rush (excepto Vanellope y los Recolors) no puedan entrar.

Hi. I haven't written in Spanish in years, so I'll do my best.

(Question: Does Sugar Shores have a leader or not?)

Por ahora ellos no tienen un lider aunque es un pueblo. Tengo varias ideas pero no ha tenido mucho tiempo libre para trabajar en eso.

(For now, they don't even though it's a town. I've had several ideas but haven't had the time to work on them.)

(Question: I imagine the place must have security at the entrance to the town to ensure that the Sugar Rush racers (except Vanellope and the Recolors) can't enter.)

2. Si tienen seguridad en la entrada. Al final la regla de no permitir entrada a los otros no fue necesaria. Cuando aprendieron que Turbo manipulo las memorias de todos, el grupo de Sugar Shores decidieron a darles otro chance para que demuestren que no son los bullies que eran antes.

Yep! The OCs they're based on are childhood besties that would later be engaged as adults. For this setting they do have a crush on each other, but they're too shy to say anything at the moment.

For the time being, I'm leaning towards something similar to Sonic: All-Stars Racing, or the Mario Kart series, since those rosters include crossover characters. Some of my racers come from existing OCs from other series.

I'm also liking the idea of a World Tour of sorts, where the racers and their themes could be based on sweets from countries around the world. All my ideas for a third Sugar Rush game are kinda up in the air.

The 80s aesthetic is the selling point. Think of the 80s retrowave and synthwave themes that have resurfaced in the last couple of years. The game's theme song is even an 80s version of it. It's also very present in the kids' outfits and throughout each of the tracks. 1984 is the set year in their game.

Their world is more like a bustling city instead of the calmer village/town setting of the first game. Some of the tracks would consist of places like an arcade, a mall, the beach, highways, city blocks and a warehouse. With Sugar Rush 1 getting a major update, and with Sugar Rush 1984 being reverse compatible, both of their worlds get linked by a major bridge east of the castle.

Fun little fact: The Sugar Rush games are set in the year they were released, so with SG 1984 taking place that same year, the og game is set in 2010. Most of the roster in 1984 are at the age where they could be the parents of the kids in the first game.

On the surface, he was happy to have new racers join the roster. The more, the merrier, right? Except, he found nothing to be thrilled about. It's because they were locked that his access to their codes was very limited. He worried that their memories were intact, and actively tried to prevent having them unlocked by making Grand Prix mode as difficult as possible for players.

His suspicions were partially correct, since the kids had awareness but on a subconscious level. They weren't hostile to Vanellope when she showed up, and believed she was a Glitch because her coding wasn't completed yet. Despite their own excitement at finally joining the rest of the roster, there was something about King Candy that felt off to them to the point they decided not to trust him.

With the other racers, the Sugar Shores kids were excited to finally meet them. Then that gets soured almost immediately after they witness the bullying Vanellope was subjected to. Fudgie in particular told them (excluding Vanellope and the recolors) that they were no longer invited anywhere near Sugar Shores after arcade hours. Even after the game's reset, Taffyta and the others had to earn their invitations back. Gummli and the squad were lenient to them by then after learning about their memories being tampered with.

They were fine with the recolors from the get-go as the girls never participated in the bullying to the point they didn't know the extent of it. The girls were in a position where they were too scared to speak out, worried they'd be shunned as well. As mentioned above, the newbies had no reason to be hostile to Vanellope and believed that an upcoming update to the game would fix her code.

One. Will there be a fan fiction about this? I’m so invested in this conpect!

2. how would the recolors and the newbies react to meeting Ralph? What would they all think of him?

3. What else do you have for the future of this Au?

Hi there!

My plan is to make some comics once I've had more practice with the layouts, backgrounds, and the kiddos themselves.

2. The newbies met him at the junkyard after he chased off the other racers for bullying Vanellope. At first glance, they mistook him for a local and fellow racer. The recolors didn't get to officially meet him until after the game was reset.

They view him as a pretty cool guy for doing what he did and helping them out. For the recolors in particular, they're very thankful since it's because of him that they got their identities back. He's often addressed as Mr. Ralph.

3. My next step is to make artwork for the entire roster of Sugar Rush 1984 now that I completed the list of names and candy themes. The game is compatible with the original Sugar Rush after the latter receives a major update (seasons, day/night cycles, etc).

In this setting, arcades never faded out the way they did in the real world, so Sugar Rush was one of the many games that continued getting updates. Also of note, the events of the sequel don't happen here as I'm not a fan of the movie.

This question is just out of curiosity.

All of them will be added in the updated version of their character sheets sometime during 2025. I want them to match their themes entirely so:

Gummli: Gummy Bears

Neo: Mini ice cream sandwiches

Citronello: Mini limes

Fudgianna: Fudge stripe cookies

Momo: Mini mango and peach candies

Sakura: Chocolate cherry blossom candies

Flancheska: Mini flans

Fruitina: Fruit tart slices

Shakelynn: Mini milkshake cups

I do! It's not weird, don't worry lol

Gummli's new look! Since the OC they're based on had also been redesigned, I wanted to reflect that with Gummli as well.

They were always meant to have a space theme, but I didn't really show it in the 2022 design. Gummli's outfit is meant to at least resemble a space suit, and I made the stars a lot more visible as well. Players can select between both versions of their outfit. In personality, they're still the same so their original profile here still applies.

I wanted to get them looking as close to the canon style of the Sugar Rush kids, but with a mix of my own. Took me quite a bit to get the hang of it, so it's all a matter of practice from here. Their kart might get redesigned to fit the color scheme better.

As it stands, this doesn't mean I'll be going back and redrawing the other kids as well. At least not yet. I wanted to see how much my art style had changed since then. I'm balancing a lot of different things at the moment so I've been approaching it at my own pace.

I've had this idea for the longest time and thought I'd break my art block by finally getting to it. Kiddo looks odd since it turns out that I've never drawn her before. I'll eventually get the hang of drawing her better in my style.

Seeing the concept work for Vanellope's princess outfit, I found myself liking the other versions instead of the final poofy dress we got. There's something about the other ones that I felt suit her better.
