Hi @faye13, this isn't a glitch, the booster prizes are assigned to the position that you finish the race in and not to you personally. That is why when you dropped to second place in your Episode Race your reward changed to the second place prize of two colour bombs.
Hi @Alienscar.
It's confusing since even before starting a race, there's a screen that shows what you'll win if you finish first. In my case, it showed a striped candy, which was why I got confused when it changed to 2 color bombs when I dropped to 2nd. I eventually did get the striped for finishing first.
If they're awarding the boosters for your position at the end of the race, I'd assume first place should get the best booster of the bunch, so it seems counterintuitive to be given a striped (the easiest to get while playing) for winning.
I agree with you @faye13 the prize of a striped candy does seem a bit of a let down for coming first in a competition compared to winning two colour bombs.
In the race that I am in at the moment I will win two colour bombs if I remain in third position. I know from previous races though that if I finish first I will win the party blower. To be honest other than the free switch I don't really mind which booster I win.
