* What happened to all the racers from ''RoadBlasters'' or the other drivers from ''Turbo Time''? Wouldn't they have evacuated and thus been homeless in the Grand Central Station?

* What happened to all the racers from ''RoadBlasters'' ''[=RoadBlasters=]'' or the other drivers from ''Turbo Time''? Wouldn't they have evacuated and thus been homeless in the Grand Central Station?



* If a game appears to glitch out, as happened to [=RoadBlasters=] and appeared to happen to ''Fix-It Felix Jr.''... wouldn't the first move be to reboot the machine and see if a fresh start fixes things? Especially with an older machine like Felix's? Why leave it on, only to unplug it in morning, without even trying to reboot?
** Well, we never really see the exact procedure that Litwak/the repairmen he brings in go through to try and fix the games. Presumably that would help if there was a simpler/more natural problem, but it might not do much considering the problems that would cause those games to go out of order would be a missing object that is vital to the game's normal execution (Fix-It Felix Jr./Turbo Time) or the presence of foreign, malicious code ([=RoadBlasters=]). Because of the way things seem to work in the movie's universe, rebooting the machine probably wouldn't create a fresh "copy" of Ralph/Turbo unless they had returned to the game by then.

* How many [[UrbanLegendOfZelda Urban Legends of Zelda]] were spawned by the events of the movie, anyway? [[spoiler:The glitchy crossover between Roadblasters and Turbo Time, Hero's Duty's secret fourth-wall breaking cutscene, King Candy and Vanellope's teleport glitch in Sugar Rush, and Fix-It Felix Jr.'s secret crossover bonus level]] are all things that wouldn't exist in any other arcade in the world, so when people told their friends about it, it'd make for some interesting rumors.

* In this universe, are video game developers aware that they're creating actual living beings, with human emotions and needs, every time they finish making a game? It seems like something the developers would discover immediately. It's the same issue this troper has with ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory.'' Do the toy factories know that they are essentially creating life?
** I would assume not, if you use ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory'''s logic to explain this. The toys make sure they are not seen doing things; I guess video game characters more or less do the same thing in this universe. As to why this has not been explained in either work, [[WillingSuspensionOfDisbelief it might be for the best]].

* Moppet Girl seems to be familiar with the arcade-- she calls Mr. Litwak over by name, remarks that Fix-It Felix Jr. is a game she enjoys and even appears in the Imagine Spot when King Candy is telling Ralph that it's unsafe for Vanellope to race. So why does she react to the fifteen-year-old Sugar Rush as though she's never seen it before?

** The hammer couldn't have broken the seal on the lost memories, though. At best, they'd have restored ''Vanellope's'' memory and eliminated her glitching, but she'd still be an outcast in ''Sugar Rush'': she'd just be thought of as "that nutcase who thinks she's a princess" rather than "that glitch".

** Turbo's a victory junkie, which is what started this whole mess in the first place. He wants to savor Ralph's defeat at his own claws/hands, not just sit back and watch it happen.

** Presumably humans have no clue that game characters are living individuals, else they wouldn't casually disconnect games and destroy whole populations just because ''one'' character was misbehaving.
