## Bio

Minty Zaki: Ice Cream With a Surprise

Minty Zaki, the queen of the ice cream set in jewel, always has an ace up her tasty sleeve, especially when it comes to racing. Refreshing and full of resources, Minty Zaki is a defender of good causes, but for the wrong reasons.

## Appearance

Minty is a young girl with light brown skin, deep brown eyes, a pinkish nose, and rosy cheeks. She has short green hair with side-swept bangs, with a yellow hairband topped with a light green candy-wrapper bow. She wears a white shirt with yellow bottom and red, blue, and yellow dots under a green jacket with yellow accents and frilled sleeves with a candy-wrapper skirt and green leggings. She also has green and yellow patterned legwarmers and black boots. For racing, she wears a green helmet with a golden candy-wrapper bow and a green visor.

## Trivia

* In the film, her kart has no side view mirrors, but in the toy form, it does.
* Her racing kart is supposed to represent a Formula Ford.
* Minty seems to be overly dramatic when she's frightened because on two occasions she leaps high into the air and gives an ear-piercing scream.
* Minty must be talented at doing flips, because she was seen doing one while she and her friends were destroying Vanellope's Likkity Split and in her winning animation.
	+ The flip could be a reference to Mario (Super Mario 64 flips).

* She and Crumbelina DiCaramello are the only main racers that don't get disqualified in the Random Roster Race.
* In One Sweet Race Candlehead was called Minty in the book, but Minty was still visible on some pages.
* She seems to be one of the only, if not the only, racer who doesn't cry about being executed.
* Besides the online adaption, Minty doesn't have any known official stats. However, her Veloci-Wrapper would've mostly likely had more speed than handling.
* A face character of Minty was introduced in 2016 along with other Sugar Rush Racers as part of *Mickey's Boo-to-You Halloween Parade*, acting as baton twirlers ahead of Vanellope's float.
* Minty Zaki is the only *Sugar Rush* racer not to be a playable character in *Disney Crossy Road.* However Minty Sakura is.
