According to King Candy, Sugar Rush would be unplugged should Vanellope race because she's a glitch. King Candy locked away the racers' memories and manipulated them into turning against their true leader, Princess Vanellope. Immediately after Sugar Rush was plugged in, and before anyone had played it, the game was hijacked by Turbo, who instilled himself as ruler under the alias, King Candy. Additionally, each racer has his or her own candy motif. The racers all have small jellybean-like noses, four fingers on their hands, and stocky, rounded features to emphasize their childishness. All of the racers share the same child-like proportions, in which their heads take up a 1:3 ratio of their height, and have large, anime-style eyes.

Altogether, there are 15 official racers, although only 11 racers are the main characters of the Sugar Rush franchise.
