Sugar Rush-The Other Side

You Can't Race in Style When There's Mud Involved

Snowanna's point of view

I am so tired of this track.

In a few hours Candlehead, Adorabeezle, and I would be racing on Sweet Speed's Candy Cane Track. It was a fairly simple track with a some twists and turns as well as candy canes to weave your way through. It was quite easy.

Until, you got to the mud.

The mud was awful. To get through the mud, there was a dirt road that zigzags through it. It isn't easy to stay on the dirt road but it is easy to drive off of it. That was what we were having troubles with. We were doing great with the rest of the track but once we get to the mud, forget victory.

You can't race in style when there is mud involved.

Candlehead's point of view

I can't wait. I was about to burn the enemy's brakes but Vanellope had to spoil my fun by telling me she will put me in the cage again.

Oh well. I guess some fun has to wait.

The competition looked tough but I knew I could smoke them.

I'm pretty sure there was a pun in there somewhere.

I had seen Rainder Candycone racing and he was definitely good. His speed could definitely improve but his handling and strategy were fantastic.

His kart white and red as well as a little bit of green. It was decorated with candycanes and other stuff like that

Citrusella Flugpucker was pretty good to. Her kart was like a long cookie dough triangle with chocolate chips around the edges. Her wheels looked like they were vanilla as well as her bumper.

Stran Stickerput was also part of that group. His kart seemed to made out of coconut and frosting.

We all lined up along the starting line, the spoilers billowing out the smoke. Everyone had a confident look on their faces when they saw that there are boxes for each of the racers. Ready to speed ahead and leave the others in the dust.

"Candlehead," Snowanna said getting my attention. "Yeah, um, Vanellope told me to watch over you to make sure you are in control, so be careful." She said while fake-smiling and giving me a thumbs-up.

"Don't worry Snowanna.I can win it."

The only thing I understood well was racing and that was my goal.

To be the best I could at racing. I was actually doing pretty good with that seeing how I was third on the leaderboard back at Sugar Rush.

I saw the fans in the stands. The fans for each racer in Sweet Speed were actual people instead of people made out of candy. But of course there were the fans from Sugar Rush and even other people from other arcade games came to watch. Like that big wrecking guy and the small fixing guy.

We all looked up to see that the arch at the starting line was flashing the starting numbers: 3, 2, 1.

Everyone raced forward except for Rainder Candycone who spun out. I darted forward and with my perfect handling and speed I reached the boxes first with someone right behind. The announcer yelled.

"Cherry bomb."

Sweet, I shot it backwards not bothering to look at who I shot at and laughed at how hilarious it is to see them blown up until, I was interrupted by Adorabeezle shouting "YOU TRAITOR!" I turned around to see her dazed from the explosion.

Whoops.

I sped forward, hoping that would only be a minor delay.

We came to the first turn. I was in first. Snowanna wasn't far behind me. Rainder was in third. Stran was fourth. Citrusella was in front of Adorabeezle.

I drifted around that corner only to find another one. I had quickly discovered that this was a maze of sharp twists and turns.

"Blueberry Bullets."

I looked in the mirror to find that Rainder had gotten an item. The gun like thing on the front of his kart looked like a silver gun and soon Rainder was rapidly shooting blueberries at Snowanna.

"Sweet Seekers."

Snowanna had just received a very powerful item. She turned around and shot the candy missiles at Rainder but he only blew them up with the blueberries. Snowanna was hit by the blueberries and swerved right into fifth place.

We made our way out of the sharp turns and into a forest full of candycanes that you would have to make your way through.

I, still in first place, weaved my way through them the best I could. I was doing great until I heard.

"Taffy Mines."

And turned around to see that Rainder was shooting pads with pink orbs in the middle in front of me. I swerved to avoid it but Rainder couldn't even tell where his landed and he ended up running into it. I looked in my mirror to see a plume of pink taffy rise out of the ground, raising Rainder high then dropping him, hard. I saw his image start to flicker as he had to regenerate.

"Nice job but you've got more to worry about." I turned my head to see that it was no other than Stran. I turned to see him with a sugar rush. He used it and rammed me into the wall. That's when I got mad. My candle fire reached 3 feet easily as I chased him down, my current position second.

I caught up to him easily and burned his hand making him lose control. After spiraling out of control he ran into Citrusella making them both run into a candy cane.

Before I knew it, I had arrived at the part of the track that had been a menace to my team and I.

The muddy area.

I tried my best to try and stay on the dirt but ended up swerving in the mud. Snowanna ended up doing the same thing but when she didn't stop, spun into a candy cane.

Adorabeezle, however, made it further than us, but when she tried to go over a bridge that would take her over a deep pool of mud, she was going too fast and drove off of it and into a fence at the edge of the track.

So now our pathetic team was trying our best to get back on the track while the enemies passed us.

"Sweet Seekers."

Uh-oh.

Somebody had gotten a Sweet Seekers and shot it us. Just as Snowanna had gotten back on the track, she was hit and blew off to who knows where.

Poor, Adorabeezle. She hadn't even got away from the fence before she got hit by the sugary missile.

The third came after me and I refused to lose this race. Once I finally got back on the dirt, I got an item.

"Wonka Whips."

Two candy whips came from the side of my kart. This was an item I had discovered when I was practicing and knew it could be powerful.

Right before the Sweet Seeker was about to hit me, I hit with a whip making it blow up knocking me back a few feet. Once I had recovered, coming across a new determination, I drove on the dirt, refusing to go back into the mud.

Finally catching up to the other racers, I passed Stran, who was then passed by Adorabeezle and Snowanna who had by now, regenerated.

I quickly passed, Citrusella, who Adorabeezle passed as well.

Then finally, right before the finish line, I passed Rainder, coming in first.

All of the people supporting Sugar Rush cheered very loudly, as the results were placed upon the jumbo-tron.

Apparently, each racer would receive points based on their placement.
