the champion. It's also contrasted in their treatment of Vannellope. Turbo went out of his way to ostracize her while Shank welcomes her with open arms. Additionally while Turbo tried to force Vannellope out of her game, Shank invites Vannellope and helps her enter organically.

** This also adds a bit more context to the rule that dying outside your game means dying permanently. It's simply because the game isn't ''programmed'' to respawn that particular character. As an example, Why Ralph and Felix could respawn in their own game because ''Wreck it Ralph'' was programmed with a respawn system for them, something lacking in other games for a simple reason. Why would the developers of say ''Hero's Duty'', ''Sugar Rush'', or ''Slaughter Race'' include a command to respawn Ralph if they had no reason to believe Ralph would ever be in the game?

** This might also explain an apparent plot hole: if getting Vanellope's code into ''Slaughter Race'' was ''that'' easy, why couldn't Turbo do the same with ''Sugar Rush''? One simple answer is a lot of modern games (especially ones intended to be played online) are released with the expectation of patches and upgrades so the code needs to be a bit malleable to acommodate changes. ''Sugar Rush'', being an arcade game from before that was commonplace, was made with no such expectation, meaning its code would be a lot harder to adjust.

* A major subplot in the film involves Ralph becoming an internet meme, and people in the real world being confused at how out-of-nowhere his sudden memetic popularity is. Ralph is a retro video game character, and that sort of thing happens with them ''all the time''. (See: Bowsette, Knuckles, etc.)

** Except the fact remains that Vanellope is clearly an unauthorized addition to the game. Obviously, no one would figure out that a video game character jumped games, but just as obvious is that no one with the authority to do so put her character in there. Her glitch makes this even more obvious. Remember, this Vanellope has her glitch due to Turbo; the other Vanellopes are presumably un-glitched. Since, odds are, the developers will have never heard of Litwak's arcade and its glitched Vanellope, to them, the glitched Vanellope's presence would be the result of an amateurish hack job. And the developers would have reasons not to want the glitched Vanellope in their game. First, just because the ''Sugar Rush'' creator went bankrupt doesn't mean that no one has the rights to the IP. Someone could own it and, even without a takedown notice issued, the fear of a lawsuit might impel the developers to delete Vanellope. Second, game developers for MMO games take a dim view of unauthorized modding, especially if their servers are hacked. For all they know, Vanellope could be a Trojan horse, or a trial run for a less benign hack, such as a cheat or even a virus. What makes such an assumption more likely is that Vanellope showed up at around the same time the game was crashed by Arthur, the insecurity virus.

*** Additionally, Ralph reacts awfully casually to getting kissed in the end, with a simple "Thanks, Frogger," like it's no big deal. This suggests a total lack of understanding of sexuality.

*** Adding to this, particularly in a world where video game characters are sapient, but TheMasquerade is a thing, characters having babies would be counterproductive. After all, what would happen to the babies, and where would they go? Except in life sims or dynasty sims like ''VideoGame/CrusaderKings'', how would they be explainable to the players? Thus, as the above response indicated, a majority of the characters would be incapable of reproduction, and therefore, of sexuality. This is especially the case for games (like ''Fix-It Felix, Jr.'' and ''Sugar Rush'') that are marketed to kids.

*** Another reason that Vanellope might get deleted is that her glitch, which made her popular as a player character in Litwak's ''Sugar Rush'' game, would make her unpopular in ''Slaughter Race'', given that she's an NPC racing against the players. As a player character, her glitch was a GoodBadBug, letting players zip through the game; but an NPC competitor that can openly FlashStep and teleport would be seen, by players, as a blatant example of TheComputerIsACheatingBastard, leading to complaints from said players. As stated above, since only the Vanellope from Litwak's is glitched, most players of ''Slaughter Race'', even those who've played ''Sugar Rush'', aren't going to see her glitch as a deliberate EasterEgg, since they'll have never heard of the glitched Vanellope from an obscure arcade in a town whose Spanish name literally means "The Bored".
