Turbo is the former ruler of the arcade game Turbo Time. When a fancier/more modern arcade racing game called RoadBlasters came in and stole Turbo's thunder, he got jealous. He took the game over for himself. Instead of getting his attention back, however, he had both Turbo Time, RoadBlasters and (presumably) himself put out of order for good. This was a well-known story to all videogame characters and was used as warning to what could happen if someone abandons his or her own game- which would later be referred to as "going Turbo". It turns out that Turbo survived, disguised himself as a character called King Candy and re-programmed the 1997 arcade racing game Sugar Rush to make his new persona the lead character just to get his attention back.
