History PlayingWith / SugarBowl

* '''Straight''': Adam and his sister Brenda go to the land of Sugar Bowl, a bright, colorful, happy world which runs off the RuleOfCute.
* '''Exaggerated''': [[LevelAte The ENTIRE WORLD is made of some sort of confection]].
* '''Downplayed''': Sugar Bowl is a somewhat happier place than Earth, but it takes a lot of hard work and cooperation to make it stay that way, and problems still exist.

** Sugar Bowl has been created and is run by a FisherKing with a mentality of a 5-year old girl.

** Adam finds a journal: "If anyone is reading this, get out of here! Run! SugarBowl [[CrapsaccharineWorld is anything but perfect]], they're all cannibalistic little pagans!"
** Adam eventually has to fight [[VileVillainSaccharineShow malpoutus]] to defend the SugarBowl.

** Brenda talks with the natives. They aren't really evil, it's just that [[HumansAreBastards all the humans aren't very considerate]] [[DarkIsNotEvil of their veneration of Moloch.]]

** Sugar Bowl is a crayon-colored wonderland of rainbows and kittens and resembles FluffyCloudHeaven, and everyone has a unicorn.. and all the girls wear pink... and all their characters are adorable furry {{Funny Animal}}s who like to sing about friendship and happiness....
** Although it is exactly as pleasant and wonderful as it looks, the SugarBowl is being used as an IronicHell for some form of ManlyMan.
** Sugar Bowl is just that. [[ShapedLikeItself A bowl of sugar.]]
** In Sugar Bowl, the world is so sweet that Adam and Brenda [[SickeninglySweet get infected with diabetes]] and die.

* '''Zig Zagged''': Adam and Brenda create the colorful world of Sugar Bowl using their crayons (despite being warned not to). It all works out nicely, until they develop their own separate religions of Adamology and Brendaism. Religious wars are about to be fought, but their religions combine into one, bitheistic religion where everyone gets along and sings happy hymns about friendship.

* '''Lampshaded''': "Welcome to SugarBowl! When it comes happiness, Disney ain't got nothin' on us!"

* '''Exploited''': Brenda takes Adam to a SugarBowl to recover from mental trauma (specifically, to counter overexposure to the CrapsackWorld they have been dealing with) because ThereAreNoTherapists.
* '''Defied''': Adam and Brenda go to SugarBowl and are bent on destroying every aspect of it.

** SugarBowl's perfection causes everyone to become lazy (and fat) due to the lack of conflict. Nearby CrapsackWorld decides [[SugarApocalypse to take over Sugar Bowl]] [[EasilyConqueredWorld and does it with ease.]]

** SugarBowl Turns out to be an (attempt of) {{Utopia}}, and the government believes UtopiaJustifiesTheMeans.

** But then a ChosenOne from another world enters Sugar Bowl and frees them from the CrapsackWorld citizens. The citizens slowly recover, but does it with a smile no less. They learn to never make the same mistakes again.
** After the takeover, CrapsackWorld realizes how shortsighted it's being. It reaches out and tries to make amends with the remaining SugarBowl inhabitants. When they do reconcile, they manage to learn from one another. SugarBowl becomes armed against other outsiders, and CrapsackWorld becomes not so crapsack-y.
** The people of the Sugar Bowl abhor violence... So they [[SuperWeaponSurprise make sure any violence they're involved in is very, very short.]]
