Story

Before Kingdom Hearts Union χ

Turbo was once the star of his own game called TurboTime, but due to the fame and popularity of his game, he became arrogant and conceited. When a new racing game arrived, he got extremely jealous. Desperate to get his popularity back, he tried to take over the new game, but in doing so, he caused interference leading to both games crashing for good. His actions resulted in the coining of the phrase "going Turbo".

Unknown to the citizens of Game Central Station, Turbo secretly survived and took over Sugar Rush. Under the alias "King Candy," Turbo hacked the game by removing Vanellope's code, which resulted in her being reduced to a glitch and everyone forgetting about her. Aware that Vanellope was still around, he tried to prevent her from racing, as the game's programming would reset if she would win.

While the events occur, King Candy was responsible for putting the Heartless in the game's code. Quest 921: Find Vanellope! Pt. 1

After King Candy thanks Player for their efforts, he commands Sour Bill to find Vanellope to stop her from racing, but upon taking his advisor's suggestion, he asks Player if they know her. Hearing of their acquaintance, he feigns concern and requests that Player retrieve her to prevent Vanellope from winning the race. Quest 920: Chocolate Monster Madness

With the Heartless, King Candy found Vanellope, Ralph, and Player in the Kart Factory and chases after them. Quest 930: Heartless Mayhem Pt. 4 After losing sight of them, he hastily orders the Heartless to find Vanellope and destroy her kart, unaware that Player is listening. Quest 932: Vanellope's Hideout

Design

Turbo is a diminutive man with grey skin and golden eyes, with a normal nose. He wears a white racing suit with red highlights, and has a white helmet with a big, red letter "T" emblazoned on the front.

When disguised as King Candy, he appears as an elderly man who is mostly bald, except for a few strands of grey hair. He has fair skin and a large, round head, thick eyebrows, and a bulbous, pink nose. He wears a white shirt with a red bow tie and a prominent collar, a purple jacket, a golden crown, and golden, checkered pants with red tips on his shoes.

Personality

Turbo is an egotistical man who enjoys the spotlight, to the point that he accidentally crashed his own game and another in an attempt to take over the latter. This behavior translates to his despotic rule of Candy Kingdom, where he is willing to do anything to remove Vanellope from the game, especially since he was the one who had reduced her to a glitch.

While merged with the original Cy-Bug, his personality has merged with that of the creatures. He also seems to have gained its memories, as he is aware it was Ralph who had brought the Cy-Bugs into Candy Kingdom in the first place. This is ultimately his downfall, as even he cannot resist the Cy-Bugs' innate attraction to beacons.

Abilities

He has the ability to hack and rewrite an arcade game's code.

Origin

Turbo first appeared as the main antagonist of the 2012 Disney film Wreck-It Ralph, voiced by Alan Tudyk. He was originally the attention-loving lead character from the fictional racing game TurboTime, but when RoadBlasters came and took the attention away from TurboTime, Turbo became jealous and tried to take over RoadBlasters, resulting in both games being taken away. To regain his popularity, he usurped the racing game Sugar Rush from its princess, Vanellope, hacking the game's code to reduce her into a glitch, erase everyone's (including Vanellope's) memory of her previous status, and to disguise himself as King Candy.

In the film, he encounters Wreck-It Ralph after he breaks into the Nightly Roster Race to regain his medal from Vanellope. King Candy orders his guards to throw Ralph out of the game, but Ralph meets with Vanellope and helps her get into the race. When his minions are unable to find the duo, King Candy finds Ralph's medal in the game's code and manipulates him into destroying Vanellope's kart before abducting her. However, Ralph reconciles with Vanellope and frees her. During the race, King Candy discovers that Vanellope has broken free and tries to kill her when she accidentally exposes him as Turbo. She manages to teleport away, and he is eaten by a Cy-Bug, but he merges with the virus. Now believing he can take over any game of his choice the arcade, Turbo engages Ralph in a brief fight before forcing him to watch Vanellope meet her end to the Cy-Bugs, but Ralph breaks free and activates a beacon from Diet-Cola Mountain, which Cy-Bugs are weak to. Though Turbo tries to resist the Cy-Bug's instincts, he ultimately succumbs and perishes.
