Prince Charming’s father, he looks forward to the day that his son is happily married, but he can’t seem to find someone suitable.

AKA Turbo, Candy is the antagonist of the franchise and also the false ruler of the Sugar Rush Kingdom. Formerly from the old arcade game TurboTime, he got envious of the attention received from a new game, causing both to be shutdown.
