** It should be pointed out that the code is written on a napkin from Tapper's, implying that King Candy is NOT part of Sugar Rush.

* MediumAwareness: 99% of the video game characters know they are video game characters. The plot hinges upon this, and the 1% who don't know. This is used dramatically during the story at the end of the second act. [[spoiler:Ralph is sulking on the balcony of the Penthouse and throws his medal. As he looks out of the game screen into the real world, he sees the Sugar Rush cabinet across the arcade... and notices a picture of Vanellope on the side. Ralph contemplates this (as it would make no sense for a character he's been told shouldn't exist to have prominent art on the console), and then returns to Sugar Rush and confronts Sour Bill for answers.]]
--->'''Ralph''': [[spoiler:Hey, Cough Drop! Explain something to me: If Vanellope was never meant to exist, then why is her picture on the side of the game console?]]

* {{Permafusion}}: The climax of the movie involves [[spoiler:King Candy/Turbo being devoured by a transformed Cy-Bug, causing them to merge together into a Cy-Bug-King Candy-Turbo monstrosity. Not only does it resemble King Candy superpositioned over a Cy-Bug's body, but it carries over its programming too: when a giant pillar of light erupts from the volcano in the Sugar Rush stage, all Cy-Bugs, King Candy included, are drawn to it, with the rogue game character only being able to scream before he's wiped out by it.]]

** Taffyta and the rest of the Sugar Rush racers give one to Vanellope when the latter tells them she's entered the race.

'''Sugar Rush Racers:''' What? No, no, no, please...\\

** Even if the other Sugar Rush racers were [[spoiler:brainwashed to hate Vanellope]], she still has decades of trauma and has been established as TheGadfly. It's no surprise then that [[spoiler:when finding out she's the real ruler of ''Sugar Rush'', she trolls her bullies by ordering their execution and letting them squirm for a few minutes]]. On the other hand, she quickly reveals [[spoiler:she was kidding because she doesn't actually want anyone to die after Turbo got blown up and Ralph embarked on a SuicideMission]].

* WorldOfTechnicolorHair: Many of the Sugar Rush racers have odd hair colours, as befits their confectionery themes and the InUniverse game's Japanese origin. For example, Minty Zaki has green hair; Snowanna Rainbeau has a rainbow-coloured afro.
