YMMV / Sugar Rush: Rival Racing

Go To

  • Ass Pull: The Source Code comes across as this since it was never mentioned before or foreshadowed.
  • Awesomeness Withdrawal: When the story was still going, story updates were pretty random with no indication as to when the next chapter would be posted. This caused some readers to grow impatient.
  • Jerkass Woobie: Believe it or not, Garry. As it turns out, he's actually very lonely on accounts that the other racers (sans Sydney and Cindy) don't really care about him. Then there's his goal to retrieve Vanellope's half of the Source Code in order to fully unlock Sydney and Cindy from the game, so that they wouldn't lose everything they have if the game resets.
  • Moral Event Horizon: Garry has three potential candidates:
    • The first was in chapter 8 when one of his methods of cheating involved rigging the track in hopes of having a candy cane tree fall on Rancis and Taffyta in chapter 8. Granted, they would've regenerated, but it was still attempted injury or even murder.
    • The second was when he plants explosives on Jimmy and Larry's kart in chapter 10, which kills Jimmy seemingly permanently. He later turned out to have actually survived but still.
    • The third and final time is when he unleashes a horde of Cy-Bugs into Sugar Rush and basically threatened to destroy the arcade if Vanellope didn't turn herself into him.
  • The Woobie: Sydney and Cindy. The both of them are Garry's only friends, and Sydney struggles to serve Garry in spite of all that he's doing. Plus, they're not even main racers; they're actually unlockable characters that would end up losing their memories if the game were to ever reset. Cindy, in particular, is also shown to have a crush on Garry, but his selfishness and desire to marry Vanellope strains this quite a bit. Then she ends up in tears when Jimmy breaks it to her that she and Sydney are actually unlockable characters and when Garry surrenders and leaves near the end of the story.
