History YMMV / CookieRunKingdom

* SequelDisplacement: Unlike previous spinoffs of ''Cookie Run'', ''Kingdom'' has proven to be a massive success, helped by boosted player numbers jumping ship from other gacha roleplaying games such as VideoGame/GenshinImpact. While ''[=OvenBreak=]'' is far from dead, Kingdom's investment in voice acting in several languages and crossovers with media giants Disney and BTS just goes to show how big this installment has become.

** Shippers of the two like to think Licorice is a fan of Parfait's music. Similarly, it's believed Parfait likes BAD4. It's popular between shipper to suggest they're each other's celebrity crushes.

** The head and seat of Street Urchin Cookie's bike are designed to look like a shrimp. Shrimp and sea urchins have been noted to have a symbiotic relationship in real life, specifically commensalism where the shrimp benefits from the urchin while the urchin is neither benefited nor harmed by the shrimp.

* GeniusBonus: Smoked Cheese Cookie is mostly associated with red. In Ancient Egypt, red represented chaos, which rightfully foreshadows [[spoiler:how he wants to usurp Golden Cheese Cookie.]]

* {{Adorkable}}: Stardust Cookie after he gains a level in cheerfulness is so sweet and adorable as he tries snacks for the first time and bonds with Space Doughnut. Helps that he's voiced by Creator/RobbieDraymond.

* RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap: Clotted Cream Cookie was initially the fandom's punching bag when [[spoiler: he inadvertently broke up the Ancient Cookies' bond by telling them about Dark Enchantress Cookie's real identity, with his utter lack of tact not helping. Chapter 3 of the Cookie Odyssey however, reveals that his ploy to obtain the Soul Jam was done out of desperation to defend against Dark Enchantress's attack, and sincerely apologizes to the Ancients for his actions in the past.]] That, combined with his [[GameBreaker excellent gameplay prowess]], has made the fanbase forgive him and redirect their wrath towards his terrible adoptive father instead.

* SacredCow: "Frost Queen and the Lantern in the Snow" is unanimously hailed as ''the'' best story in the entire game due to its music and friendship between Cotton and Sherbet Cookie.

** Captain Caviar Cookie was decently received when he was first introduced in Cookie Odyssey. Chapter 3 of the Cookie Odyssey would see his popularity ''skyrocket'' thanks to his status as the OnlySaneMan among the Elders, and not hesitating to chew them all out for their infuriating belligerence (''especially'' Custard Cookie). Combined with his cool and badass design, along with being voiced by Dave Fennoy (aka Lee Everett and Rodin), many fans wanted him to be playable. Said fans would get their wish as he was added as an Epic Cookie in the September 2022 update.

* CrackPairing: Parfait Cookie/Licorice Cookie is popular on platforms like TikTok and Tumblr. Despite not meeting (as of now anyway), people love the concept of them being an OppositesAttract pairing (as well as Licorice either being a tsundere or [[LoveRedeems Parfait turning him good)]].

** While the ''Braver Together'' gacha event has been praised in many aspects than the Disney gacha -- mainly that ''every'' item in the BTS Gacha will have mileage points, not just copies of landmarks and cookies -- there is ''one'' aspect that many players have come to hate -- if you don't have a certain BTS Cookie, you cannot buy their Soulstones. So if you're missing one cookie and have the gacha points to buy soulstones to unlock them, tough luck.

** "The Frost Queen and the Lantern in the Snow" arc is by far the most well-known storyline of ''Kingdom'' due to its sentimentality, bittersweet ending, and the bond between Cotton and Sherbet Cookie. The storyline is so well known that it got a continuation for the December 2022 update, but Sherbet became a playable character.

* SugarWiki/FunnyMoments:
** In a behind the scenes video for the English voice actors, it starts with Dark Enchantress Cookie (Patty [=McCormack=]) beginning her rant on how she's taking over Earthbread...and then it cuts to the recording studio as the director notes that the reading was so dramatic it ''knocked a poster to the side'' down.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W2C59HmR3pg The Korean voice actors play]] ''VideoGame/AmongUs'' in character. So that means Sorbet Shark's VA only speaks [=0oooooh=] like in canon! What makes this even more hilarious is that it made it easier for Sorbet Shark to hide that ''they're an imposter!''
** During April Fool's Day for 2022, Poison Mushroom Cookie finds a batch of Rainbow Shroomies. Licorice convinces them to share them with the cookies of the Kingdom to sow discord. The shroomies themselves aren't poisonous, but do have some... effects. Primarily, altering the character icon of a cookie that eats them. Many of these results turn them into more humanoid designs made to be either attractive or adorable, but several of them have just plain weird effects.
*** Madeline Cookie's icon changes to a more hastily-scribbled humanoid version of him with a long, pointed chin that he strokes as his eyes beam with enough light to obscure most of his face.
*** Dark Choco Cookie is rendered in a style similar to ''Berserk'', calling attention to his missing eye and giant sword.
*** Mala Sauce Cookie, in a call-back to an April Fools event from ''Ovenbreak'', is replaced with a pre-rendered 3D sprite.
*** Affogato Cookie looks like the standard "Attractive humanoid" transformation, but a closer look reveals he's, predictably, abusing this newfound stature by pouring something on Wizard Cookie. He's most likely pouring a shot of espresso onto him, as Wizard Cookie is made with ice cream. Thus, ''[[FridgeBrilliance he's making an affogato]]''.
*** Almond Cookie's is rendered like a gritty detective comic.
*** Vampire Cookie becomes a two-in-one nerd and jock act. His cookie form is a bookish type with a juice box, and next to him is his bat form filling the role of the jock by ''lifting weights with his wings.''
** Crunchy Chip Cookie's nightmare...being caught eating jellies by King Dark Cacao Cookie and he and his wolves forced into disciplinary training. What makes it funny is Crunchy Chip's delivery of how "terrifying" this is.
-->'''Crunchy Chip:''' I felt my insides turn ''inside out!''
** The 2nd Anniversary "Crunchy Dreams" event has many dream scenarios play out that combines the hilarity of their April Fool 2021 event.
*** How do they recreate Dark Choco leaving the Cookies of Darkness behind? As a ''Middle School AU'' complete with uniforms and Dark Choco being the rebel who decides to go back to his family's elementary school! Bonus points include Licorice Cookie wielding a broom instead of his scythe and Schwarzwalder's long and elegant farewell to Dark Choco, implying that this is ''his'' dream!
*** [=GingerBrave=] is a new student in Latte Cookie's class and everyone notes that he's ''naked'' (aka just himself).
*** Tiger Lily wants to be able to understand other cookies so Pitaya Dragon complies...by making other cookies ''into cats'' and giving them cat ears! So yes, that means you have the image of Werewolf Cookie and Red Velvet Cookie meowing like cats.
*** Devil Cookie is stuck in an endless hallway with no way out should be terrifying (and it is, given how the hallway keeps going and the red filter)...were it not for Angel Cookie's infamous face making a return as they pester to Devil that the only way out is with a good deed.
*** Pinecone Cookie wishing to be the best forest guardian ever has them gain the ''body of a bodybuilder'' as they proceed to do their job. Even their ''owl'' is significantly beefy.
*** Knight Cookie seeing many suitors wishing to marry Princess Cookie, ranging from the likes of Sparkling, Eclair, Clotted Cream and, most surprisingly, ''Raspberry Cookie''! By the time Princess Cookie comes his way, he wakes up and screams in agony over it.
*** Purple Yam Cookie's dream is about a [[HerCodenameWasMarySue legendary yam hero]] who defeats the evil Archlord Dark Choco Cookie and gains the love of everyone, up to Dark Cacao ''calling Purple Yam his son''!

** The Avatar of Destiny is considered to be by far the hardest of the Guild Raid bosses, and for ''damn'' good reason. Her ''opening'' attack is capable of doing ''over a'' '''million''' damage (for reference, even the tankiest Tank cookies like Hollyberry Cookie can only have, at most, several thousand health), and if by some miracle you manage to survive that, the Avatar proceeds to bombard your survivors with even more high power magic.
