This page covers the cameo characters of ''WesternAnimation/WreckItRalph''.

As mentioned in the opening paragraph, one of the most notable aspects of the movie is how Disney went out of its way and licensed a bunch of cameo characters from notable video game franchises. Unlike other cameos, these are neither [[LawyerFriendlyCameo lawyer-friendly]] nor [[CaptainErsatz blatant knockoffs]]. They're just the honest-to-God real deal, and their appearances here have a plot-relevant role (despite still remaining background characters), to boot! Not only, there's [[ShownTheirWork a great amount of detail and attention paid to them by the movie's makers.]] So, let's see the cameos present in this movie. Due to the many characters, some of whom are well hidden, this list is incomplete.

[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/WreckItRalph14_BadAnon_4232.JPG]]
[[caption-width-right:350: [- [[BadIsGoodAndGoodIsBad "I'm bad, and that's good. I'll never be good, and that's not bad. There's no one I'd rather be... than me."]] -] ]]

Short for Bad-Guys Anonymous, this reunion of famous gaming villains is what, on a meta level, drew attention to the movie in the first place: this OneSceneWonder was the first sign that this would be a movie "that got it right". In this reunion, taking place in the ghost-cage from ''Pac-Man'' and hosted by Clyde the ghost, various "bad guys" share their frustration about how their role doesn't help their popularity at all. All of them have some kind of issues about it, although the one who makes the biggest deal out of it is undoubtedly Ralph himself.
----
* AdvertisedExtra: Applies to all the cameos in general, but most of the movie's marketing included the Bad-Anon as one of its core points.
* BadIsGoodAndGoodIsBad: Their mantra, known as the "Bad Guy Affirmation", is essentially an oath based on this concept. [[JustifiedTrope Justified]] in that their villainy is just part of a role they play, and they’re actually friendly and caring.
-->''"I'm bad, and that's good. I'll never be good, and that's not bad. There's no one I'd rather be... than me."''
* BookEnds: [[spoiler:Ralph returns at the Bad-Anon at the end of the movie, only he's much happier with his job now, thus deserving a round of applause by the other "villains".]]
* DysfunctionJunction: Self-esteem issues are implied for every one of them, hence the "one game at a time" banner in order to discourage villains from attempting to seek popularity in other games, as it would put their own home game in jeopardy.
* LawyerFriendlyCameo: A few of the ones that aren't explicitly real video game characters are clearly {{Expy}}s of existing characters. For example, the yellow robot is meant to be an expy of Cyrax from ''VideoGame/MortalKombat3''.
* LegionOfDoom: Averted. Sure, they're all powerful villains in the same room, but they're not plotting anything [[PunchClockVillain because they're not doing their jobs during this scene]].
* MassOhCrap: When Ralph announces he doesn't "want to be the bad guy anymore", especially due to how the rest of the group is otherwise faithful to each one's job -- despite the unpopularity coming with it. Then again, this is what happens with most Disney movies dealing with a radical change in an established order. [[spoiler: They also all know that if a villain "goes Turbo" that their game can't run properly and risks being deemed broken and will be unplugged, resulting in CessationOfExistence for the characters still inside it.]]
* [[MeanCharacterNiceActor Mean Characters, Nice Actors]]: They're villains in their respective games, but in their free time, they're genuinely nice people who are trying to help Ralph deal with his self-esteem during the Bad-Anon meetings.
* {{Oculothorax}}: One of the attendees is a large green creature wearing a crown that fits under this trope.
* PunchClockVillain: In the context of the movie, gaming characters are treated like actors playing their own role, and much like Ralph, the villains are [[NiceGuy good-natured people]] [[MeanCharacterNiceActor playing villains.]]
* ShownTheirWork: All the cameos feature a lot of research. WordOfGod explained that, while setting some conditions, the game companies understood straight away that Disney had the best of intentions with the movie, licensed cameos included. In setting said conditions, the game companies owning the characters essentially helped the movie's writers in keeping the cameos true to their original form.
* TheSmurfettePrinciple: There's only one female member present. She has no lines and is referred to as "Sorceress", but her hairstyle and skin and clothing coloration match. No one knows who exactly she’s supposed to represent, but the most common guess is Mishaela from ''VideoGame/ShiningForce''.
* ThoseTwoGuys: Bowser and Eggman always appear right next to each other during the movie. [[VideoGame/MarioAndSonicAtTheOlympicGames No doubt the two are buddies from their Olympic days.]]
* TropaholicsAnonymous: This reunion is ''very'' reminiscent of real-life Alcoholics Anonymous meetings, right down to the "Hi, I'm (X); hi, (X)" routine.
* VillainousFriendship: Despite being the villains of their respective games, they’re a caring group of friends.

[[folder:Clyde]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/WreckItRalph20_Clyde_4941.JPG]]
[[caption-width-right:350: "Nice share, Ralph."]]
-->'''Voiced by:''' Kevin Deters

One of the ghosts from ''VideoGame/PacMan'' debuts in the Franchise/DisneyAnimatedCanon with a secondary job as the host of the Bad-Anon meetings at his own home. Calm and collected, Clyde helps the others deal with their self-esteem issues, as their villainous roles, and consequent unpopularity, has taken quite the toll on the spirit they do their jobs with, although discouraging any thought of trying to play a different role. Later on in the movie, he appears in the background of Game Central Station a few times with his fellow ghosts Blinky, Inky, and Pinky. Like Coily, Eggman, and Bison below, Clyde appears alongside the hero opposing him, as Pac-Man himself makes a cameo in another part of the movie.

Used with Creator/BandaiNamcoEntertainment's permission.
----
* AdaptationalIntelligence: During the Bad-Anon meeting, Clyde is portrayed as a very smart, insightful, and bold character, traits that are completely the opposite of [[TheFool his video game counterpart.]]
* BlueWithShock: Alongside Bowser and Sonic below, Clyde is the one character with a particular in-game trait that the writers managed to work into the movie as a gag. In Clyde's case, he becomes BlueWithShock when doing his part in the bad guys' MassOhCrap, becoming blue [[ShownTheirWork exactly]] as he does when Pac-Man eats a power pellet.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Clyde never really loses his cool, regardless of the villains' poor self-esteem, acknowledges Ralph's frustration but at the same time tries to help him realize that acting out will not solve his problem.
* SincerityMode: When he tells Ralph that "[[YouCantFightFate we can't change who we are]]", he says it without any trace of malice in his voice.
* TeamDad: He even kickstarts "the Bad-Guy affirmation" (quoted as the caption under the image for Bad-Anon, above).
* YouCantFightFate:
-->'''Clyde:''' ''"Ralph, Ralph, we get it. But we can't change who we are."''

[[folder:Zangief]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/WreckItRalph15_Zangief_9148.JPG]]
[[caption-width-right:350: "Just because you are bad guy, does not mean you are bad ''guy''."]]
-->'''Voiced by:''' Rich Moore

The [[MotherRussiaMakesYouStrong Russian-born powerhouse]] hailing from the ''Franchise/StreetFighter'' franchise makes his debut in the Franchise/DisneyAnimatedCanon as a "bad guy" who really isn't, in order to help other gaming villains to be happy with the role they're given despite the fact they're all good-natured guys at heart.

Used with Creator/{{Capcom}}'s permission.
----
* AccentAdaptation: He has a Caucasian accent in the Russian dub, referencing the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victor_Zangiev real life wrestler he was named after]], who was Ossetian.
* AdaptationalVillainy: Zangief was never the villain in his game but more like a secondary-not-really-evil-antagonist. However his [[FaceOfAThug terrifying appearance]] combined with his [[DirtyCommunists Soviet origins]] made many players think him a bad guy. Of course, due to MeanCharacterNiceActor, this Zangief isn't really any more evil than his canon ''Street Fighter'' self. Lampshaded when Zangief points out that playing a villainous role doesn't mean you're evil yourself.
* BadIsGoodAndGoodIsBad: He's perfectly okay with his job, to the point that he's heavily implied to attend the Bad-Anon just to help the other members; he doesn't really need to be reminded of such advice himself. In fact, he's the most relaxed among the baddies when reciting the "Bad Guy Affirmation", [[TheEeyore in sharp contrast with Eggman]] who, ironically, is right next to him.
* BeYourself: His share is about his moment of clarity when he realized the importance of this trope. He is a guy who crushes men's heads like sparrow's eggs between his thighs and he's happy with that.
* CreatorCameo: Like Sour Bill, he's voiced by director Rich Moore.
* DarkIsNotEvil: At the Bad-Anon meeting:
-->'''Zangief''': When I hit bottom, I was crushing man's skull like sparrow's egg, between my thighs... and I think, why you have to be so bad, Zangief? Why can't you be more like good guy? Then I have moment of clarity... if Zangief is good guy, who will crush man's skull like sparrow's eggs between thighs? And I say: Zangief you are bad guy, but this does not mean you are bad guy.
* HiddenDepths: Has surprisingly profound insights regarding Bad-Anon's central message, and is shown hosting a book club in ''WesternAnimation/RalphBreaksTheInternet'', where he brings up some rather complex topics of discussion.
* FaceOfAThug: He's an extremely scary man with an angry expression, a mohawk and a body covered in scars, nevertheless Zangief is a friendly fellow.
* LimitedWardrobe: Apparently, aside from his boots, Zangief's only choice in clothes are his speedos, given that, aside from the ones he's wearing, [[BrainBleach there's also a pair of speedos at the Tapper bar.]] Then again, this is [[JustifiedTrope justified]] given Zangief's playable appearances in his own game series only feature that kind of outfit.
* MotherRussiaMakesYouStrong: He speaks with a Russian accent when going on about how he can crush a man's skull "like sparrow's egg" between his thighs.
* MurderousThighs: Takes pride in his ability to [[HeadCrushing crush men's heads like sparrow's eggs]] between his thighs.
* NiceGuy: Easily the nicest one of the bad guys. Probably because he's not actually a bad guy in his home series.
* PetTheDog: As the baddies leave ''VideoGame/PacMan'' and board the train back to Game Central Station, Zangeif can be seen inviting Ralph to sit next to him, no doubt due to the vulnerability Ralph expressed during the meeting.
* TitleDrop: As quoted in Zangief's caption, he's the one to tell Ralph to wander in "one game at a time", the same concept seen on the Bad-Anon banner, in order to suggest to him he'd better stay in his own game. It didn't work, at least at first.
* TokenGoodTeammate: Due to the aforementioned AdaptationalVillainy, he's the least evil guy in the Bad-Anon group.
* TooMuchInformation: Ralph is {{squick}}ed to find a pair of his speedos at the Tapper bar. Most likely because one can't help but wonder ''why'' [[YouDoNotWantToKnow they're kept there in the first place.]]
* YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre: As stated under his "BadIsGoodAndGoodIsBad" entry above, the implied role for him within the context of the meeting itself is to remind other villains with self-esteem issues of this. "You are bad guy but that doesn't mean you bad, guy."

[[folder:M. Bison]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/WreckItRalph16_Bison_151.JPG]]
[[caption-width-right:350: "You're ''not'' 'going Turbo', are you?"]]
-->'''Voiced by:''' Gerald C. Rivers

The ''actual'' villain from the ''Franchise/StreetFighter'' franchise has two roles: on a meta level, he acts as a replacement for [[VideoGame/MegaManCLassic Dr. Wily]]; but, definitely most notably, within the context of the movie, he's the first character to introduce the concept of 'going Turbo', a line [[ArcWords later used in the movie]] proper. As with his original, Street Fighter-verse counterpart, the Disneyverse Bison is a [[GlowingEyesOfDoom glowing-eyed]] [[TakeOverTheWorld world dictator]], but, much like Zangief, is implied to only play that role. Additionally, like Coily, Eggman, and Clyde, Bison's cameo in the movie is accompanied by that of the hero opposing him, in his case Ryu.

Used with Creator/{{Capcom}}'s permission.
----
* AdaptationPersonalityChange: This version is a good deal quieter than his more [[LargeHam exuberant]] game counterpart. Of course, this could be how he's like when he isn't [[MeanCharacterNiceActor performing]].
* BadassArmFold: He spends most of his time at Bad-Anon this way, presumably because he finds it comfortable.
* BadassCape: It's part of his outfit and adds to his fierce appearance.
* EvilSoundsDeep: His voice is deep but he is not evil. That's why he's here at the meeting.
* GivingSomeoneThePointerFinger: He delivers his warning to Ralph with a stern point [[MundaneMadeAwesome with his hand very close to the camera.]]
* GlowingEyesOfDoom: M. Bison's most unique, defining physical trait is kept in the movie.
* MythologyGag: A Street Fighter character talking about "going Turbo" references [[CapcomSequelStagnation "Super Street Fighter II Turbo"]]. It’s also a RedHerring for first time viewers who know nothing about Turbo and what he did.
* TheQuietOne: He only speaks twice: first for the line about Ralph possibly going Turbo, and later when the support group meeting closes off.
* TheStoic: He's just as serious as he's always been.
* TakeOverTheWorld: World Dictator, '''''[[Film/StreetFighter OF]] [[WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic COURSE!!!]]''''' [[PunchClockVillain ...but only when he's on the clock.]]

Doctor Ivo "Eggman" Robotnik, the villainous MadScientist from the ''Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog'' franchise, shows up in the weekly Bad-Anon meeting. Like Coily, Clyde, and Bison, his cameo appearance comes with that of the hero opposing him, in Eggman's case Sonic himself (see below).

Used with Creator/{{Sega}}'s permission.
----
* AbsentMindedProfessor: He does not seem to be focused on the meeting as it takes place. See TheEeyore below.
* ClaspYourHandsIfYouDeceive: Only in his render, as pictured here. He doesn't do it in the movie. More notably, there are two alternate poses for Eggman: one is the one pictured here, and the other is the image for this page as a whole. He clasps his hands ''in both''.
* TheEeyore: He seems kind of depressed (or at least absent-minded; see above) during the meeting, and ends up looking down during the "Bad Guy affirmation" with a seemingly broken look on his face, as if he's about to break down sobbing. Most likely, he knows that the fact he's about to leave the meeting means he's only about to get his ass handed to him again.
* NonStandardCharacterDesign: Judging from a FreezeFrameBonus during the movie's opening, Eggman and Sonic's home in Litwak's Arcade is a ''VideoGame/SonicTheFighters'' cabinet. Despite this, both of them are depicted with their Modern Era designs and voice actors, as opposed to their Classic Era selves from that game.
* ThrowTheDogABone: He [[spoiler:gets even with Sonic in the CreativeClosingCredits. Sonic Spin-Dashes at him in [[VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog2 Chemical Plant Zone]], [[EpicFail only to lose his rings in the process]].]]

[[folder:Bowser]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/wir_bowser.png]]
[[caption-width-right:350: [- Pictured: Bowser drinking coffee, [[WordOfGod the way he's canonically supposed to as requested by Nintendo and explained by Rich Moore]]. -] ]]

Full name King Bowser Koopa, the BigBad of the ''Franchise/SuperMarioBros'' franchise makes his fire-breathing debut in the Franchise/DisneyAnimatedCanon as one of the "bad guys" attending the weekly Bad-Anon meeting. Unlike other cameos, this one isn't an AdvertisedExtra and is, instead, a non-speaking background cameo appearance, which is rather ironic considering the importance of the franchise in question. This might have something to do with either the infamy of the SuddenlyVoiced Bowser in ''VideoGame/SuperMarioSunshine'' or the fact that, unlike Coily below and Clyde, Bison, and Eggman above, Bowser isn't accompanied by his nemesis Mario. This last fact is because [[WordOfGod the writers didn't know how to use Mario in the movie]].

Still, Bowser's appearance in the movie is most likely, according to near-unanimous speculation, what led to the tie-in LicensedGame being a Nintendo exclusive ([[UsefulNotes/NintendoDS DS]], UsefulNotes/{{Wii}}, and [[UsefulNotes/Nintendo3DS 3DS]]), despite said game not featuring any of the cameos.

Used with Creator/{{Nintendo}}'s permission.
----
* ArtEvolution: This film is technically Bowser's first official appearance in HD[[note]]Nintendo's first HD-compatable home console, the UsefulNotes/WiiU, and the accompanying first HD ''Mario'' game, ''VideoGame/NewSuperMarioBrosU'', going on sale only a few weeks after the wide theatrical release of ''Wreck-It Ralph''[[/note]], and thus shows a lot more detail in his scales and hair than common for his franchise at the time.
* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: Thanks to Creator/{{Universal}} owning the ''Franchise/SuperMarioBros'' movie rights, he's missing from ''WesternAnimation/RalphBreaksTheInternet'', and he isn't mentioned at all by any of the characters.
* MustHaveCaffeine: Much like in the real Alcoholics Anonymous groups (just think of the one in ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsonsMovie''), Bowser is seen drinking coffee. The explanation is either this, or coffee is simply Disneyverse Bowser's TrademarkFavoriteFood.
* ShownTheirWork: Aside from Bowser's physical faithfulness to his original artwork (which, just as Eggman's, made his cameo in the first trailer all the more notable), there's the fact that, much like other cameos, the writers worked with each character's original owners -- in this case, Nintendo -- in order to make sure the characters stay true to form. WordOfGod is that the way Bowser is seen drinking coffee is how he is canonically supposed to do so.
* ShoutOut: His SpitTake is using his [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros original SFX from the NES days]].
* SpitTake: Much like Clyde's [[BlueWithShock turning blue]] above and Sonic's [[DeathThrows loss of his rings]] below, this is a character-in-game-trait that the movie's writers managed to work in the movie as a gag. His [[BreathWeapon breath]] of [[PlayingWithFire fire]] results in a fiery SpitTake (for the same reason Clyde becomes BlueWithShock, that is, during the MassOhCrap due to Ralph's "I don't want to be the bad guy anymore").

[[caption-width-right:350: [[PurpleIsTheNewBlack Purple's the new black]].]]

The BigBad from Sega's ''VideoGame/AlteredBeast1988'' makes a surprise appearance in the movie as a member of the Bad-Anon meeting. As with his original incarnation, Neff is an anthropomorphic rhino with magical powers, but he's not given as much importance as the other cameos and stays in the background most of the time.

Used with Creator/{{Sega}}'s permission.
----
* ElmuhFuddSyndwome: [[AvertedTrope Averted]]. Neff's is a non-speaking cameo.
* FormerlyFit: Neff is given a more chubby & stout appearance here, and appears more relaxed than usual. [[JustifiedTrope Since his game series is obscure and was released a while ago]], it's understandable that Neff would let himself go a bit.
* NotSoStoic: Given his general demeanor, his reaction upon learning Ralph doesn't want to be the bad guy is [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tumblr_minuqb4awp1rxtfu5o1_250.gif rather humorous]].
* PurpleIsTheNewBlack: [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded]] in Neff's official bio on the film's site, as reported above. Interestingly, he's only purple in his home game when he ShowsDamage; he's normally gray. In a bit of RecursiveAdaptation, this design for Neff was later used in ''VideoGame/SegaHeroes''.
* RhinoRampage: This is the form he takes during the movie. It’s worth noting that this isn’t Neff's normal form- he fights the player throughout his game, and this is the form he takes for the fifth and final fight he has with the player.

[[folder:"Cyborg" (actually Kano)]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/WreckItRalph23_CyborgKano_4206.JPG]]
[[caption-width-right:350: "You can't mess with the program, Ralph."]]
-->'''Voiced by:''' Brian Kesinger

This is a tricky one to describe. Simply put, the so-called "Cyborg" is essentially Kano, the Black Dragon crime boss from the gory, M-rated, and not-at-all-Disney-like ''Franchise/MortalKombat'' franchise, whose appearance was fully authorized by the owners of the ''Mortal Kombat'' IP. However, in the movie, this Bad-Anon attendant is referred to as "Cyborg" for some reason. Most likely, this choice is supposed to avoid any close association between the Disney movie where Kano appears in and the latter's source material; going by this theory, we might say that "Cyborg" is actually a Disney-verse version of Kano. An authorized CaptainErsatz, if you will.

In fact, there's been some speculation about the character's identity when scans of a book adaptation of the movie surfaced online, given the presence of Cyborg among the Bad-Anon attendants despite said book only featuring Disney's own characters. Then the movie came out, and the fact that the writers had the [[RefugeInAudacity balls]] to work into the movie what made the character so infamous in the first place confirmed that Cyborg, after all, was indeed supposed to be Kano all along. We're talking about Kano's [[FinishingMove Fatality]], where ''he rips out someone's [[BeatStillMyHeart heart]]'' ([[AndShowItToYou and then some]]). No, really, he does it in full view of the camera.

Used with [[Creator/MidwayGames Midway]]'s, now Creator/WarnerBros Interactive's and Creator/NetherrealmStudios', permission.
----
* AdaptationalNationality: In the ''Mortal Kombat'' series, Kano has been an AwesomeAussie ever since [[Film/MortalKombatTheMovie the first live-action movie]]. Here, however, he speaks with an American accent for both of his lines.
* AdaptationalNiceGuy: While still ripping out Zombie's heart to punctuate it, he still reassures Ralph that he's a good person at heart despite being the "bad guy" of his game, and his "you can't mess with the program" line indicates that he doesn't like his role any more than Ralph does, but chooses to accept it and do his job with grace and dignity. This is in '''stark''' contrast to Kano in ''Mortal Kombat'' canon, who is a ruthless criminal that [[CardCarryingVillain utterly relishes in being as much of a scumbag as possible]], [[HateSink and has earned the ire and mistrust of pretty much everyone in his home universe]], [[GuestFighter and]] [[ComicBook/{{Spawn}} a]] [[Franchise/RoboCop few]] [[Franchise/TheDCU oth]][[Franchise/{{Rambo}} ers]].
* AndShowItToYou: Again, this is Kano, so he has to wave around Zombie's heart after yanking it out.
* BeatStillMyHeart: His trademark FinishingMove is kept intact in the film. [[WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids Kano in a Disney movie, ladies and gentlemen.]]
* CaptainErsatz: As described above, this is now ''[[AlternateCompanyEquivalent Disney's own]]'' Kano, due to the reasons listed. He's still Kano, and was used with the full permission of WB and Netherrealm, [[JustifiedTrope but now there's no need to worry about being associated with the MK brand.]]
** Notably, he has a few distinct differences from the canon Kano, such as a robotic arm Kano doesn't normally have, as well as not speaking in the character's usual Australian accent.
* ShoutOut: You can practically hear "[[Franchise/MortalKombat FATALITY]]" with his finisher.

-->'''Voiced by:''' Raymond S. Persi

Copyright-wise, Kano's situation (see above) also applies to Zombie, better known as who he's [[http://segabits.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/hotd.jpg obviously]] supposed to be: Cyril, one of the zombie enemies from ''VideoGame/HouseOfTheDead'', only balding and without the blood on his face. Sure, Disney [[VideoGame/SegaSuperstars could have simply referred to the character's source material as "Curien Mansion"]], but there you go.

Anyway, for the character himself, this is Cyril's counterpart for the Franchise/DisneyAnimatedCanon: a zombie who, despite carrying two axes and being obviously as deranged as is to be expected from a zombie, is still a good guy at heart, as can be said about every other "villain" seen at Bad-Anon.

Used with Creator/{{Sega}}'s permission.
----
* ADogNamedDog: Despite supposedly being Cyril, he introduces himself as "Zombie", and is even called by that name directly by Clyde.
* BluntYes: He gives one to Ralph when Ralph asks if it is Turbo to want more out of life than getting constantly thrown off a building (or a piece of pie every once in a while).
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: [[JustifiedTrope He's a zombie]], so of course he's strange. What did you expect?
* DualWielding: Carries two hatchets with him, which Clyde reminds him not to leave behind after the Bad-Anon meeting.
* FriendlyEnemy: While he's a pretty stereotypical dimwitted, [[ZombieGait shambling]], he's in all other aspects a nice and friendly guy.
* HulkSpeak: Well, it's already a miracle that a zombie can speak, anyway. He's not going to use proper grammar.
* MajorInjuryUnderreaction: Sure, zombies don't need organs, but he could at least say ''something'' when Kano ripped out his heart.
* NiceGuy: Is the first to speak up after Zangeif to reassure Ralph that "labels not make you happy" and "you must love you".
* RunsWithScissors: He seems disturbingly nonchalant when flailing his arms ''while handling axes''. Especially given that characters can respawn only in their games, and are otherwise mortal.
* ShownTheirWork: As seen in the pic linked to in the opening paragraph above [[http://www.thewebsiteofthedead.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/Cyril.jpg (alternate link),]] the character's appearance is ''very'' faithful to that of the original Cyril, right down to the rips in his clothes (although the coloring of the Disneyverse Cyril is slightly darker, in addition to his aforementioned balding).
* SimpleMindedWisdom: He may be a loopy zombie, but he gives Ralph words of wisdom about not investing too much in labels like "good" or "bad" since they're all just actors.
* SurvivalHorror: He's meant to represent this genre, as there aren't other references to survival horror games in the movie.
* ZombieApocalypse: [[AvertedTrope Averted.]] Cyril is the only zombie seen in the whole film. [[spoiler:Credits aside, that is,]] and he's not responsible for any near-apocalypse.

[[folder:Yuni Verse]]
[[quoteright:302:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/WreckItRalph29_Yuni_2946.JPG]]
[[caption-width-right:302: "All clear! The arcade's closed!"]]
-->'''Voiced by:''' Jamie Sparer Roberts

Actually the ''first'' cameo seen in the film, Yuni, representing ''VideoGame/DanceDanceRevolution'' in the Franchise/DisneyAnimatedCanon, appears for a few seconds with a specific purpose: the placement of her game's cabinet allows her to see if there are still people around when Litwak's arcade closes, allowing other characters to cut the act.

Used with Creator/{{Konami}}'s permission.
----
* AttractMode: Yuni's dancing on her own -- or rather, pretending to, as she's just checking if there's still anyone in the arcade.
* FashionableAsymmetry: Her stockings don't match, much like Vanellope's (who appears in the movie after Yuni does); nor do her wristbands (one of which has a detached sleeve). Or the sides of her skirt, for that matter. Let's just say only her shirt and her face appear to be perfectly symmetrical.
* GirlishPigtails: She has two ponytails, likely for the design cuteness.
* ShoutOut: The fact someone has to tell the others ''when'' to cut the act [[CallBack parallels]] ''Franchise/ToyStory'', as the very same happened with the titular [[TrueCompanions toys]] in that movie. Given Disney's description of this movie was (contrary to the fandom's "''Film/WhoFramedRogerRabbit'' with video game cameos") "the videogame equivalent of ''Franchise/ToyStory''", this is most likely intentional.

--> '''Ryu voiced by:''' Creator/KyleHebert\\
'''Ken voiced by:''' Creator/ReubenLangdon

Ryu and Ken from ''Franchise/StreetFighter'' are introduced to the Franchise/DisneyAnimatedCanon right after Yuni (just read the quote in Yuni's caption, and then the one in Ryu and Ken's caption in quick succession), when Ryu suddenly stops attacking Ken as soon as he's sure there's no one else in the arcade; the two then leave. Ryu reappears at Tapper's as a background character later on in the movie.

Used with Creator/{{Capcom}}'s permission.
----
* AttractMode: Same as Yuni's dancing described above. Ryu is seen attacking Ken with a Shoryuken, only to stop as soon as Yuni tells him he can cut the act.
* BonusStage: In the CreativeClosingCredits, Ralph and Vanellope reunite with Ryu and [[spoiler:destroy the infamously tough car from ''VideoGame/StreetFighterII'']] within seconds. Which is kind of a JustifiedTrope, considering wrecking stuff is what Ralph does best. [[spoiler:Then Ralph gets [[CurbStompBattle curbstomped]] by Blanka, quickly proving that while Ralph's strength is unrivaled when it comes to wrecking stuff, the Street Fighters are still the best when it comes to ''actual fighting''.]]
* BrickJoke: After asking Ken to go drink something at Tapper's together, he's later seen at Tapper's when Ralph visits said game (which also happens to act as an actual bar for game characters in the Wreckverse).
* CallingYourAttacks: Shoryuken!
* MoodWhiplash: They immediately go from fighting to heading off for a drink together.
* MythologyGag: In case you're wondering why Ryu and Ken "leave together like best buds" when the arcade closes, it's because in the Street Fighter games they ''are'' best buds anyway.

The first cameos spotted after the Bad-Anon scene ("spotted" [[FreezeFrameBonus being the keyword here]]), Chun-Li and Cammy -- still hailing from the ''Franchise/StreetFighter'' franchise -- don't do as much as Ryu and Ken do, but Chun-Li herself still appears often throughout the movie as a background cameo. Neither Chun-Li nor Cammy have any lines at all.

Used with Creator/{{Capcom}}'s permission.
----
* AdvertisedExtra: Chun-Li in the movie's Chinese release, as seen in the bottom-right corner of the image. Perhaps [[JustifiedTrope justified]] not only because of Chun-Li's Chinese nationality, but also because she replaced Bison in the movie's Chinese poster... and a red-clothed dictator portrayed as a "bad guy" wouldn't quite fly there.
* {{Bowdlerise}}: Cammy isn't ''quite'' as {{Stripperiffic}} as in her home series, wearing green tights instead of displaying her bare legs and barely-concealed buttocks.
* FreezeFrameBonus: The top-left corner of the image can be seen while the camera is panning from the "GAME CENTRAL STATION" sign to the Station itself. And as for Cammy, [[DemotedToExtra that's it.]]

[[folder:The homeless Q*Bert family]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/WreckItRalph18_QBert_1841.JPG]]
[[caption-width-right:350: "[[IntelligibleUnintelligible @$#%]][[SpeakingSimlish &#!!!]]"]]

Pretty much the entire ''VideoGame/QBert'' cast returns in the movie, as a living {{deconstruction}} of the modern gaming industry: the success of the more modern, RatedMForMoney shooters led to Litwak's ''Q*Bert'' cabinet's lack of popularity, which eventually culminated in the plug of said cabinet being pulled. Now with his own game "[[DeadlyEuphemism unplugged]]", Q*Bert himself barely managed to evacuate his own game alongside his co-workers(Coily, Ug, Wrong-Way, Slick and Sam) with whom he now lives as a homeless hobo, struggling every day just for some food. At least, however, he and his former in-game "enemies" are [[TrueCompanions now more of a family]], and as such always stick together.

Q*Bert is also the most plot-relevant of the cameos, as he interacts directly with most of the main cast: he first met Ralph when the latter gave him one of his two [[VideoGame/PacMan cherries]] out of compassion, and later recognized the same guy after he [[MuggedForDisguise stole]] Pvt. Markowski's PoweredArmor. He told Felix about Ralph's game-jumping shortly afterwards.

He and his family then found themselves a better place to live by the end of the movie.

Used with, essentially, Creator/ColumbiaPictures' permission (as they owned Gottlieb for a while in the late 70s and early 80s, before they spun it off under the auspices of Coca-Cola (who also briefly tried to re-brand the pinball business as Mylstar), so they continue to own the rights to Q*Bert even despite Gottlieb going out of business in 1996).
----
* BeggarWithASignboard: The page image shows two varieties of this trope simultaneously: "Game Unplugged, Please Help" (type 1), and "Will NPC in FPS for food" (type 2). Only the first is seen in the film proper.
* ButtMonkey: Either that or IronButtMonkey, take your pick. The already heavy Ralph trips on Q*Bert ''while wearing the PoweredArmor''. Somehow, he doesn't get hurt.
* DespairEventHorizon: They're heavily implied to have crossed it already, given one of them is willing to appear as "a NonPlayerCharacter in a FirstPersonShooter for food" (though only according to the promotional image seen above). Bear in mind, this is right after we're told characters become mortal outside of their own games.
* {{Determinator}}: Given that -- outside of his game -- Q*Bert is essentially mortal, the fact he's gone to the then-soon-to-be-unplugged game of ''Fix-It Felix Jr.'' '''alone''' is rather notable. [[BadassAdorable Little dude has]] ''balls.''
* EarnYourHappyEnding: Possibly as a reward for telling Felix about Ralph and his then-current whereabouts, the cast of ''Fix-It Felix Jr.'' thanked them all [[spoiler:by offering them to live (and appear as [=NPCs=]!) in a "Bonus Level" made just for them]] at the end of the movie.
* IntelligibleUnintelligible: Felix happens to know Q*Bert-ese. Even more thankfully, Felix then provides some ParrotExposition in order for the audience understand as well.
* PunchClockVillain: With the exception of [[PlayerCharacter Q*Bert]], they (Coily, Ug, and Wrong-Way) were all villains for their game; Slick and Sam were in-game minor annoyances. [[spoiler:They get to reprise their roles as video game antagonists at the end.]]
* PuppyDogEyes: Having been unplugged for who-knows-how-long, Q*bert has obviously had plenty of time in which to practice this; practice which has definitely paid off, because he is '''very''' good at it.
* SmallRoleBigImpact: He may not have too big a role in the story overall, but it's thanks to Q*Bert specifically that Felix learns of Ralph's escape to ''Hero's Duty''.
* SpeakingSimlish: Let's just say that Q*Bert's SymbolSwearing is rendered pretty well on the big screen. Apparently, Q*Bert-ese [[{{Fictionary}} is a language]].
* ThrowTheDogABone: As a MeaningfulBackgroundEvent, at a certain point in the movie we see [[VideoGame/BurgerTime Peter Pepper]] is offering them a meal on the house.
* TrueCompanions: Without the "job" that their home game was, they no longer have any reasons to hold any grudges -- not even [[MeanCharacterNiceActor fictional]] ones -- against each other, and now live pretty much like a family. Sure, they're [[TheWoobie utterly miserable]], but still, at least they're not miserable ''and'' lonely.
* YouBastard: Let's just say that the viewers who prefer the newer games over the old-school classics are likely to find another reason to feel sorry for Q*Bert.
* YouCantGoHomeAgain: Q*Bert and the other baddies from his game managed to escape when their console was unplugged some point before the events of the movie. [[spoiler:Averted by the end of the film, Ralph and Felix managed to create a set of apartments for them inside of ''Fix-It Felix jr.'']]

[[caption-width-right:350: "If you die outside your own game, you won't regenerate, ever! ''[[ScareEmStraight Game over]]''."]]
-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/RogerCraigSmith

One of the most notable cameos in the movie, the eponymous protagonist from the series of the same name, ''Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog'', makes his debut in the Franchise/DisneyAnimatedCanon. His role here is that of a much more famous game star than others, and much like "big name stars" in RealLife, here he uses his fame for the greater good by starring in [[PublicServiceAnnouncement PSAs]] about a vital rule within the context of the movie: essentially, when a character wanders outside his or her own game, [[TheMostDangerousVideoGame said character becomes mortal]], and as such any death is ''the'' {{Permadeath}}. Given the exposition he provides, Sonic is a cameo given a prominent role indeed, much like Q*Bert (see above).

All of this, of course, happens when our beloved blue blur is not busy SavingTheWorld.

Other than being [[AdvertisedExtra advertised]] a lot, the Sonic cameo also appears a few more times throughout the movie, again, much in the same vein as Q*Bert. Unlike Q*Bert, however, Sonic's appearance is part of a deal between Disney and Sega: in exchange for Sonic's cameo, Ralph himself will appear as a [[GuestFighter Guest Racer]] in Sega's ''[[VideoGame/SegaSuperstars Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed]]''; however, this part of the deal also granted Creator/RogerCraigSmith in English and Creator/JunichiKanemaru in the Japanese dub to deliver their respective lines in their languages as Sonic, which is another reason why this cameo has been met with such praise.

As obvious as it is, used with Creator/{{Sega}}'s permission.
----
* AscendedExtra: A ''very'' downplayed example. He's still a cameo character in the sequel, but he does directly interact with Ralph more often than he did in the first film.
* ChekhovsLecture: The dramatic explanation of the perils of game-jumping was obviously setting up a huge plot point.
* DeadpanSnarker: When he corrects Ralph on how to properly pronounce "Wi-Fi".
* DeathThrows: When losing his rings, [[ShownTheirWork exactly as it happened back in the 2D games]]. This happens just as Ralph's escape pod flies into Sugar Rush. This shot was re-animated (see below) at Sega's explicit request, as confirmed by WordOfGod.
* HiddenDepths: In the sequel, he is shown to be aware of what Wi-Fi is compared to other characters, and is a reader of Russian literature.
* MascotWithAttitude: Sonic's lines are delivered this way, in order to have his characterization as "true-to-form" as possible. It worked -- Sonic's portrayed perfectly in-character in the movie.
* MrExposition: Gives Ralph a brief summary of what Wi-Fi is when Litwak first plugs in the router.
* MythologyGag:
** Sonic attending a 30th anniversary party? Gee, he might have taken a liking of those [[VideoGame/SonicGenerations after his own 20th anniversary party...]]
** He delivers a PSA in the central station, just like he did back in his old [[WesternAnimation/AdventuresOfSonicTheHedgehog cartoon]].
** Sonic joins a book club in ''Break the Internet''. [[VideoGame/SonicStorybookSeries Sonic has shown to be a reader in the past.]]
*** His explaining the Internet to Ralph and Vanellope is also akin to the aforementioned cartoon's ''Sonic Sez'' segments.
* NonStandardCharacterDesign: Like Eggman above, he supposedly originates from a ''VideoGame/SonicTheFighters'' cabinet somewhere in the arcade, yet he has his Modern Era design and voice actor rather than the Classic Sonic design used by that game.
* OhCrap: He looks visibly -- and understandably -- disturbed (then again, that ''is'' an [[ShownTheirWork exact replica]] of his DeathThrows sprite) when he loses his rings. {{Justified|Trope}}, given the rule he explained in his own PSA.
* PublicServiceAnnouncement: His most prominent appearance in the movie has him giving one, explaining, as stated above, that characters can die outside of their own game, as respawning is limited to one's own home game only. It might double as a MythologyGag, given all the [[WesternAnimation/AdventuresOfSonicTheHedgehog "Sonic Sez" segments.]]
* ScareEmStraight: His PSA is this InUniverse. The way he says "Game over" is either a sign of [[MascotWithAttitude attitude]] or just plain cynicism.
* SmallRoleBigImpact:
** In the first movie, his PSA about the perils of game-jumping was actually used to foreshadow [[spoiler: the way the BigBad kicked the bucket. King Candy, a.k.a. Turbo, got KilledOffForReal only because he died in ''Sugar Rush'', while his own home game was the now-unplugged ''Turbo Time''.]]
** In ''Ralph Breaks the Internet'', he makes a brief appearance at the beginning to explain the concepts of Wi-Fi and the Internet to Ralph and Vanellope. This knowledge, however, helps Ralph and Vanellope to get the idea of going on the internet to save ''Sugar Rush''.
* SuperSpeed:
** Underplayed. When Sonic is "seen" (read: blink and you'll miss it) running in Game Central Station, he's not running particularly fast. Though this could be to avoid running into someone.
** He is seen running (and spinning) a little closer to his in-game speed during the credits sequence, though, WheelOFeet and all.
* VocalEvolution: In the first film, Roger Craig Smith had only just started voicing Sonic. By the sequel, Smith had voiced Sonic [[VideoGame/SonicColors in]] [[VideoGame/SonicGenerations vari]][[VideoGame/SonicLostWorld ous]] [[VideoGame/SonicForces games]] and [[WesternAnimation/SonicBoom a cartoon]] since the first film, giving him time to refine his performance as Sonic, which carries over to his performance in the sequel.

The [[{{Pun}} Man]] himself, ''VideoGame/PacMan'', munches his way into the Franchise/DisneyAnimatedCanon doing what he does best: eat everything in sight, while attending the Fix-It Felix Jr. [[MilestoneCelebration 30th Anniversary Party]]. Notably, he's depicted in the film as his classic ball-with-a-slice-cut-from-it form instead of his more anthropomorphized form seen in later iterations of the character as in ''VideoGame/PacLand'' or ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros''.

Used with Creator/BandaiNamcoEntertainment's permission.
----
* BigEater: According to WordOfGod, this trait for Pac-Man's cameo appearance has been explicitly requested by Namco.
* {{Irony}}: When Ralph destroys the Niceland Apartments-shaped cake in a fit of rage, Pac-Man is splattered with it. What's ironic? He didn't get to ''eat'' the cake.
* JawDrop: Pac-Man's response. A disappointed BigEater, indeed. For further irony, there's the HypocriticalHumor-in-[[{{Foreshadowing}} hindsight]] provided by Ralph.
-->'''Ralph:''' Pac-Man! They invited Pac-Man? That cherry-chasing, dot-muncher [[TemptingFate isn’t even part of this game]]!
* MythologyGag: For the same reason as Sonic above -- the fact Pac-Man is seen at a MilestoneCelebration can't be coincidental. Does the title ''VideoGame/PacManWorld'' ring any bells?
* PacManFever: The guy isn't the TropeNamer for nothing. Sure, the movie [[AvertedTrope averted]] the trope, but frankly the movie wouldn't be quite complete without a reference to one of the most famous gaming icons.

-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/MauriceLaMarche

Acting as a bartender for all the arcade games' heroes, ''VideoGame/{{Tapper}}'' appears in the movie as his bar goes beyond its purpose as a proper game, working as a place where more characters meet aside from Game Central Station itself.

Therefore, as Ralph himself notes, Tapper knows a lot of people. Ryu and [[VideoGame/BurgerTime Peter Pepper]] have been spotted there, as well as other gaming characters seen in some portraits hanging on the bar's walls.

Used with [[Creator/MidwayGames Midway]]'s, now Creator/WarnerBros Interactive's, permission.
----
* AlmightyJanitor: Given the stuff Ralph finds in the lost-and-found, it's safe to say Tapper knows at least [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Mario]] and [[VideoGame/MetalGear Solid Snake]]. Yeah.
* TheBartender: Both in his game and after hours, which is where his main role in the plot takes place.
%%* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: Oh, yeah.
* ExcuseMeWhileIMultitask: [[InvertedTrope Inverted.]] Tapper interrupts his chat with Ralph (see the quote in his caption here) for about five seconds only, in order to quickly resume his role in his game by giving the customers the drinks they wanted. He then goes back to said chat.
* FrothyMugsOfWater: Tapper's bar serves Root Beer, ''despite'' the game being still ''Tapper'' and not ''Root Beer Tapper'' -- and at least one character has either been seen [[DrowningMySorrows Drowning His Sorrows]] or implied to.
* LimitedAnimation: Despite being shown with better graphics than those of the Nicelanders, he has the same erratic movements as they do. It's a bit jarring.
* NiceGuy: He still manages to listen to Ralph's rant despite having a job to do, and does his best to comfort him while outright stating the biggest help he can offer is allowing Ralph to look for a medal in the bar's lost-and-found.

While not counting as characters in the strictest sense, these portraits are worth mentioning because they depict many cameos and OriginalGeneration characters alike, some of which ([[Characters/SonicTheHedgehogMainTrio Tails]] in particular comes into mind) only made it in the movie only thanks to this gimmick.

They've been drawn by artist Bobby Pontillas, and some of them can be seen in good quality [[http://bobbypontillas.blogspot.it/2012/11/tappers-caricatures.html on his blog.]] The idea, [[WordOfGod according to Pontillas himself]], was to replicate the overall effect of Sardi's restaurant in New York, as many caricatures of famous guests who have visited the place can be found there.

In order to avoid making the already really tall image even taller than it is, [[http://disneyscreencaps.com/wreck-it-ralph-2012/10/ here are]] [[http://disneyscreencaps.com/wreck-it-ralph-2012/11/ the two]] pages of the website Disney Screencaps depicting the scene, so you can look for other portraits there... if you want to go for a WikiWalk, that is.

* DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment: Felix has signed his own portrait (yes, he has a portrait there) as [[RunningGag "Fix-It Felix Jr. (From the game, 'Fix-It Felix Jr.')"]].

** [[AvertedTrope Averted]], though, with [[Franchise/StreetFighter Blanka and E. Honda]], who show up in sprite form during the end credits.
* HeroOfAnotherStory: Most of them can count as this, as has been said about Sonic above, since they have their own (unseen) game adventures.
* MeanCharacterNiceActor: [[VideoGame/SpaceInvaders "Cheers, earthling!"]]
* MythologyGag: The pictures are reminiscent of the art style seen in traditionally animated Disney films, giving the idea of what a 2D ''Wreck-It Ralph'' could have looked like.
* NonstandardCharacterDesign: Given the characters come from different ''games'', it's kind of a given. Despite this, it's worth noting that in some cases the characters [[OriginalFlavor stick to their original art style]] (Sonic's portrait looks like his Sonic Channel artwork in terms of style alone), while others are drawn in Pontillas' own art style.
* ShoutOut: As mentioned above, the caricatures are inspired by [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sardi%27s Sardi's restaurant]] in New York.
* VersusCharacterSplash: Take a look at Ryu's and Ken's caricatures, in the pic for their entry, above. They're facing each other. It was most likely intentional on Pontillas' part.
