The Test This Page Uses
There is one rule here, and it is mechanical: a claim is canon when a published character profile states it or a playable build shows it, and fanon when neither does. That sounds obvious until you try it on real examples. Black as the trigger of Horror Mode is canon - place him and the stage flips. Black as the villain is fanon - no profile says it, and the trivia that he cannot beat Fun Bot argues against a tidy antagonist role. Wenda and Gray appearing in the same builds is canon. Them being a couple is fanon, and in that particular case the profile goes further and states the opposite. The test works because it never asks who is right about the story; it only asks where the sentence came from.
What about things the games imply but never show?
They stay fanon here. The wiki labels readings rather than upgrading them, so a strong inference is still written as an inference.
Is fanon treated as wrong?
No. It is treated as unattributed. The pages that host it say so, and the character summaries stay clean.
Three Claims, Sorted
Take three sentences you will meet in any comment section. First: Black is the hidden vocal part with a very low layered voice - canon, straight from the profile. Second: Wenda was nearly cut from the cast before release - also canon, and oddly under-used, because it comes from the same profile trivia. Third: Gray survives the switch because he is protecting Wenda - fanon. The first two can be checked against the profile text and, in Black's case, against the game. The third has no source at all: the profile's statement about Gray and Wenda is a distance, not a duty, and nothing in the builds shows intent. Same three characters, three completely different levels of support, which is exactly the situation this page exists to make visible.
Where should I look first when a claim feels off?
At the character profile for the character it is about. Birthdays, sound roles and stated relationships are all in there, and they settle most arguments in one line.
Why the Split Protects the Site
Mixing the two costs more than it looks. A character page that states a ship as fact is wrong in a way a reader can catch, and once one sentence on a page is wrong the rest of it stops being trusted. Keeping the interpretation on pages that announce themselves - this one, the ships page, the AU guide - means the character and game pages can be useful to someone who has never read a fan theory, while the theory still has somewhere to live. It also means the wiki can be corrected: when a reading stops being defensible, it comes off one page instead of unpicking a dozen.
Who decides what counts as sourced?
The published profiles and the playable builds. Nothing on this wiki is canon because a page says it is; the page points at the source instead.
Characters in this story
Wenda (Vocals, vocal layer): White, cat-eared Vocals performer who adds a vocal layer and stars in the Treatment mods named after her. Gray (Effects, bass and effect layer): Gray, cat-eared Effects performer who carries the bass and effect layer, and one of the most talked-about characters in Horror Mode. Black (Vocals, hidden/dark vocal): Hidden Vocals performer in a top hat; placing Black on the stage switches the original game into Horror Mode.
Is this story official canon?
Only what you can see in the games and what the creators have said is canon. Fan theories, ships, and AU ideas are labelled as fanon on this wiki.

Mod families that use this story
Sprunki Retake Mods: Retake turns Sprunki into a darker horror remix cluster with altered characters, tense visuals, and fan-made story hooks. Sprunki Mustard Mods: Mustard and Sprunkstard pages collect yellow-tinted remix variants and related fan-made gameplay pages. Sprunki Clicker Games: Clicker builds turn Sprunki into an arcade or idle game, where you tap or merge instead of placing characters on a stage. Brainrot Sprunki Mods: Brainrot builds splice Sprunki with meme crossovers, usually replacing the cast with characters from internet jokes. ParaSprunki Mods: ParaSprunki is a modifier that appears on standalone numbered builds and on reworks of named families, so two pages under the label can share little beyond it.
