* “The Royal Racer” arc is a big one for Spritle. When the Racers go to the land of Saccharin to deliver a special miniature race car, Spritle is unwittingly mistaken as the heir to the throne, Prince Jam, [[PrinceAndPauper who looks almost exactly like him]]. To complicate matters, [[GovernmentConspiracy Minister Omar Offendem is trying to dispose of Jam]] [[PuppetKing and install his mentally-challenged cousin Sugarin as the next king, effectively putting himself in charge of the country.]] When Offendem’s team of ninjas nearly kill “Jam” during the Baby Grand Prix, he tries to pin the blame on Pops building a faulty vehicle. Fortunately, Spritle, Chim Chim, and a bunch of kids who’d entered the race capture one of the ninjas and learn about Offendem’s scheme. Spritle hatches a plan to stall the coronation ceremony [[BodyDouble by pretending to be Jam]] while the other kids go to save the real prince and Speed (whom the ninjas also captured). The ploy works for a while, and even gets Pops and Trixie out of the dungeon, but the plan backfires when it’s revealed that Spritle lacks Jam’s clover-shaped birthmark on his left biceps. Fortunately, Speed and the real prince escape the temple that the ninjas held them in and get to the coronation mere seconds before the crown touches Sugarin’s head.

** It's not just Speed's driving, but how everyone reacts to it, the crowd and press go wild, Royalton has his VillainousBreakdown, and all of it capped off with the one lady reporter ''absolutely losing her shit'' and reduced to screaming in incoherent excitement. Furthermore, Speed's victory is implied to be an influencing factor for Taejo, despite his earlier retraction from the deal with the Racers and Inspector Detector, to testify against Royalton during a later (not-on-screen) trial for race fixing, leading to his conviction and incarceration.

* Heck, getting Speed into the Grand Prix itself is an awesome moment of MyRuleFuIsStrongerThanYours. Royalton has been burying the Racer family under legal issues and using underhanded methods to ensure Speed never even qualifies and Taejo has backed out of his deal to turn over evidence of Royalton's crimes in exchange for Speed's help in the Casa Cristo race. Basically, at this point, Royalton's won and the only bump was having to pay a higher price for the Togokahn merger. Then Haruko walks in to the Racer household with an invitation to the Grand Prix that they are, according to WRL rules, absolutely entitled to. Royalton tries to protest it, but Inspector Detector is right there threatening, with full authority, to shut the entire Grand Prix down to conduct a full, and extremely costly, investigation. Royalton has no option but to withdraw his complaint because, for all his money and influence, he absolutely ''cannot'' handle the public backlash that shutting down what is apparently the biggest sporting event in the world short of the Olympics would create.
