#fungeon

I don't see a lot of people actually talk about the fungeon proper.

I think most people just think for the small cell Felix is sent to but the FUNGEON being an addition King Candy had installed supposedly just for Vanellope.

The Circus and clown motifs are signs added on top of the scary bleak atmosphere. It draws attention to the fact Turbo made his new persona to seem non threatening and FUN.

King Candy resembles a clown with his big round nose, rosy cheeks, silly hair and collar.

I wonder if he made these sign additions to the dungeon to make it somewhat nicer for a child to be imprisoned there?

We can gather it's King Candy's own design to a dungeon that may have existed in the games code before. The walls are sugar cube stone but the circus stuff seems hastily drawn in a way, that and King Candy is extra giddy to talk about the Fungeon.

What makes me certain though are the signs that I'm sure King Candy put up JUST for Vanellope.

It feels like a very out of touch way to make the idea of locking a child in jail a bit more... nice?

I would've said the bars too, but I looked it up and they're pocky sticks.

So with this information, why couldn't Felix (or any prisoner in there) just eat their way out?

Instead of you know, not thinking straight and making the bars stronger.

Like I get it, Felix was desperate to find a way out so he resorted to using his hammer, which is the only thing he knows. (Which admittedly, was slightly stupid)

Mario Made a new stage !

Like obviously they don't actually know each other yet, but I mean on the basis of just knowing that a person is also imprisoned there at the same time as another.

Plus, Felix was literally yelling out for help, so does that mean that Vanellope could hear him in his room from afar?
