sorry if this is weird to ask but do you have specific ethnicities for your sugar rush ocs?

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

Redgina

Latina/Dominican, and she has African, Spanish, and Indigenous (Taino) ancestry.

Gummli

*Before their redesign, they were meant to be mixed race consisting of Caucasian, Japanese, and Black *Post redesign, they're Black, Japanese and Latino

Neo

Jamaican - Ugandan

Fudgie

Hawaiian - Russian

Citronello

Native American, specifically Algonquin/Cherokee

Momo

Half Black, half Japanese

When the kids get their own redesigns, their races will remain the same.

[sugar-rush-reloaded]

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.

My interest hasn't died, so no worries there.

[sugar-rush-reloaded]

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.

So for this au, after the game is reset following Turbo's downfall, Vanellope's default dress is the one on the left. With help from Gummli, she plays with the code a bit to achieve the look on the right, that way she would match the kart she made with Ralph. It doubles as an extra outfit players can select, allowing her to switch between her casual and formal looks.

Finally remembered to link each specific profile

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.

Azulon Razzblue

Redgina Velvetine

(Azulon and Redgina have the same link as I uploaded them together)

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.

Shakelynn Maltswirl

Fruitina Sweetblossom

Flancheska Sugarglaze

Froya Nougatina

Gummli Bearington

Neo Politan

Fudgianna Crumblequake

Citronello Sourlime

Momochi “Momo” Mangotoya

Minty Sakura

[sugar-rush-reloaded]

I just wanted to give a huge thank you to everyone that's been following and interacting with this blog. While I haven't been active in quite a while, it makes me very happy to see the folks interested in my own take on all of the Sugar Rush kiddos. My project has been in the back-burner for quite a while but do know that I haven't forgotten about them.

There's no set date, but for my next step, I want to complete the entire roster for my take on the Sugar Rush sequel, Sugar Rush: 1984.

After that, I'd like to eventually and possibly go for a redraw of the roster I included back in 2022, just to see how far my art has improved. I am taking things one step at a time as I've been kept busy with work and other life responsibilities.

I have a lot in store. No set date but it's in the works. Thanks again for all your support!

[sugar-rush-reloaded]

Hello, I want to tell you that I love your ocs and your AU, they all have a great design and are unique. 🥰🥰🥰

What I liked:

1. I liked that you gave Sakura Minty her own car and more in her style because giving Minty's car to Sakura didn't seem like the best idea on the part of the creators.

2. That the recolor shapes have a true identity of their own, their own personality, a characteristic candy theme and their own personalized cars. And I like your idea that Shakelynn, Flancheska, Fruitina and Froya became recolored versions of Minty, Jubileena and Adorabeezle due to a side effect of Turbo's hacking of the game codes, it really makes a lot of sense.

3. The fact that Citronello Sourlime is the only Sugar Rush racer to have a disability gives him a very realistic and significant touch since it is very rare to see in a racing game character with that quality but at the same time it gives him more realism to the game in general

Hi there! AAAH thank you very much! I believe I saw your comment on Youtube the other day and didn't get around to replying as I haven't written in Spanish in a very long time XD

For Minty Sakura I always found it odd they never gave her a kart of her own after going out of their way to design her. I always thought her similarities to Candlehead were interesting so it's a shame nothing else happened with that.

My idea for the recolors having their own identity was based on one of the more popular theories folks had at that time. I always wanted to give it a try and that's how I ended up with those four.

Citronello is based on one of my ocs who is also a wheelchair user. I included him to demonstrate how disabled folks are still capable of driving when their vehicles have the right accommodations. It's something that I noticed most people don't really think about.

When I have more time and energy, I'd love to add more racers, complete the roster for Sugar Rush: 1984, and possibly redesign some of the current ones to see how much my art has improved over the last 2 years.

Thanks again for your message!

[sugar-rush-reloaded]

oooohhhh cant wait cr more of your art and au!!!!

OMG thank you so much!

I have many more ideas in the works that I'll love to get into later this year!

[sugar-rush-reloaded]

I like your artwork.

Thank you! :D

Minty Sakura is one of the 6 racers that were unlocked after a player beat the game’s Grand Prix mode. This also unlocked a new area known as Sugar Shores, located to the far north of Diet Cola Mountain. It’s a beachside town that also contains 6 new tracks.

Minty Sakura

Theme: Pocky, mint chocolate, and sakura ice cream

Kart: Choco-Mint Dream

Racing Track: Minty Meadow

Like Momo, Minty Sakura hails from the original Japanese version of Sugar Rush. Another detail brought over from the original is that Minty happens to be Candlehead’s twin sister, which explains their similar themes and color scheme. While polite and good-mannered, Minty isn’t above the occasional quips of sarcasm and snark. After Sugar Shores was unlocked, Minty was eager to meet her twin but was also confused on why she wasn’t going by her full name of Minto Candlehead. It wouldn’t be until after the reset that the names would be properly restored. The sisters would then spend time racing each other to get the higher score.

[sugar-rush-reloaded]

Momochi is one of the 6 racers that were unlocked after a player beat the game’s Grand Prix mode. This also unlocked a new area known as Sugar Shores, located to the far north of Diet Cola Mountain. It’s a beachside town that also contains 6 new tracks.

Momochi “Momo” Mangotoya

Theme: Peaches, Mangoes and Mochi Ice Cream

Kart: Pastel Dasher

Racing Track: Tropical Palace

Like Minty Sakura, Momo hails from the original Japanese version of Sugar Rush. Patient and playful, Momo is a deep thinker and also acts as a mediator when conflict arises. She has strong awareness of her surroundings and can read people rather well, knowing who to best interact with ahead of time. She was the first to make notice of King Candy’s rather odd appearance, but initially shrugged it off as his design being changed to suit a North American audience. She remained suspicious nonetheless, but preferred to wait for further evidence to present itself.

[sugar-rush-reloaded]

Citronello is one of the 6 racers that were unlocked after a player beat the game’s Grand Prix mode. This also unlocked a new area known as Sugar Shores, located to the far north of Diet Cola Mountain. It’s a beachside town that also contains 6 new tracks.

Citronello Sourlime

Theme: Limes and Key Lime Pie

Kart: Green Thunder

Racing Track: Citrus Art Gallery

A racer with an eye for creativity, Citronello likes to let his art speak for itself. He views the Candy Kingdom as a massive canvas filled with endless displays of craftsmanship. Art exists in all aspects of life and he has embarked on his quest to explore them all. His paintings and murals can be seen throughout different locations in the game, and the majority of his works are featured in the art gallery that also doubles as his track. He’s the most observant of the racers and likes to keep a sketchbook with him at nearly all times to see if his art is trying to tell him something. He’s an ambulatory wheelchair user and can walk and stand for certain periods of time. His wheelchair transforms into his kart seat and vice versa, and moves on its own. After being unlocked, he’s shown to have a shop that lets players change the color schemes of everyone’s karts.

****

With the exception of Momo and Minty Sakura, these group of racers are all based on my OCs. They’re from another project called Earth 14.

[sugar-rush-reloaded]

Fudgianna is one of the 6 racers that were unlocked after a player beat the game’s Grand Prix mode. This also unlocked a new area known as Sugar Shores, located to the far north of Diet Cola Mountain. It’s a beachside town that also contains 6 new tracks.

Fudgianna “Fudgie” Crumblequake

Theme: Brownies and Fudge Stripe Cookies

Kart: Fudge Strike

Racing Track: Cocoa Music Hall

Tough and headstrong, Fudgie doesn’t take smack from anyone and won’t hesitate to fight if necessary. She will call anyone out on the spot if she has to, be it fellow racers and even the king himself. That being said, she’s still a good-hearted and intelligent kid with a passion for music. She’s also quite protective of her friends and doesn’t take kindly to anyone messing with them. After being unlocked, she runs a shop that lets players select different music tracks and unlock new ones.

[sugar-rush-reloaded]

Neo is one of the 6 racers that were unlocked after a player beat the game’s Grand Prix mode. This also unlocked a new area known as Sugar Shores, located to the far north of Diet Cola Mountain. It’s a beachside town that also contains 6 new tracks.

Neo Politan

Theme: Neapolitan ice cream and ice cream sandwiches

Kart: Triple Trouble

Track: Soft Serve Speedway

With his chill demeanor and positive attitude, when Neo talks, his friends always listen. Being very fond of fashion, he likes to mix up his looks. He’ll often encourage his fellow racers to do the same, and will give some tips if asked. Neo will find himself searching for all kinds of inspiration around him, a trait he shares with fellow racer and artist Citronello. After being unlocked in Grand Prix mode, Neo is seen running a shop off-track where players can unlock alternate costumes, called Flavors, for all the racers.

[sugar-rush-reloaded]

Gummli is one of the 6 racers that were unlocked after a player beat the game’s Grand Prix mode. This also unlocked a new area known as Sugar Shores, located to the far north of Diet Cola Mountain. It’s a beachside town that also contains 6 new tracks.

Gummli Bearington

Theme: Gummy candies

Kart: Hyper Drive

Track: Gummy Spaceway

The youngest of all the racers, Gummli is equal parts sweet and energetic. They don’t sit still for very long and right before you know it, they’ve gone through the track several times over. If there’s one thing Gummli loves just as much as gummy candy, it’s outer space. When it comes to the sun, moon and stars, they can talk about it for hours. This little ball of energy is also a fantastic secret keeper and a great listener. They became fond of Vanellope almost immediately, calling her “Vanny” for short. Off the track, Gummly runs a shop that allows players to unlock and equip each racer’s signature power-up.

[sugar-rush-reloaded]

Froya Nougatina (Nougestia Brumblestain)

Theme: Frozen Yogurt and Nougat

Kart: Frozen Yo-Kart

Racing Track: Froyo Stadium

Sweet and energetic, she always happily greeted her fellow racers wherever she went. Whether she won or lost a race, she always had something to be positive about. During her time as a Recolor, she held onto her positivity to shield herself from the feelings of isolation she had developed. Seeing how Vanellope was treated simply for something she had no control over, she couldn’t help but wonder if the Recolors were only tolerated at best. Glitch or not, Vanellope was still a person and deserved better. She would’ve spoken up sooner, but her anxieties and fear of rejection won out. It wasn’t until after the reset that she was properly able to get these feelings off her chest, and as a result, no longer felt the need to shield herself.

****

My take on this character was inspired by a popular headcanon back in 2013-2014, which talked about how the 4 palette swap racers were the products of the game being hacked. Prior to it, they had identities just as unique as their fellow racers. These designs and profile below are my own idea on what these former identities were and what they return to after Sugar Rush gets reset.

In this AU, the game was plugged in 2010 instead of 1997, and had been active for just a day before Turbo took over. When he tampered with the game’s code, an unintended side effect caused the girls to take on the appearances of the racers they were hanging out with at the time, turning them into their palette swaps.

[sugar-rush-reloaded]

Flancheska Sugarglaze (Torvald Batterbutter)

Theme: Flan (Caramel Custard)

Kart: Golden Glider

Racing Track: Flan-Custard Expressway

An easygoing racer that found joy in the simple things, Flancheska was a firm believer that the smallest of things could make the biggest impact. She always gave some great advice and was the leader of the Recolors. Out of all the racers, she always had the best intuition, being the first to sense something felt off after Turbo hacked their code. Every now and then she often wondered why she was given a boy’s name during her time as Torvald, making her believe filling the remaining roster slots was a rush job. After the reset, she continued her pursuit of enjoying the little things one step at a time. She also enjoys making flan in a variety of flavors.

[sugar-rush-reloaded]

Fruitina Sweetblossom (Citrusella Flugpucker)

Theme: Fruit Tarts

Kart: Fruit Bolt

Racing Track: Blossom Fruit Farms

A confident racer, Fruitina is also equal parts brave and hardworking, and never hesitates to stop for fellow racers that need help. Underneath this kind nature lurked a number of insecurities and feeling she was beneath the others. The lack of her own fans, grandstands and flag made her feel incredibly left out, as though she was nothing more than filler needed to complete the roster. At one point she had considered speaking to King Candy about her troubles, but decided against it after seeing the treatment he incited against Vanellope for being a Glitch. After the game’s reset, her personal track also doubled as her home, where she’d grow a variety of fruits in her downtime and share them with her friends when they were ready.
