Oh no, I tripped and dropped my cages! Now their totals are all mixed up, can you help me?
Normal 6x6 sudoku rules apply. Digits within a cage do NOT sum to the value in the top-left corner of their own cage - instead, they must sum to the total of a different cage. The value they sum to is determined by taking the digit in the cell containing the 'fake' cage total (which determines the row of the 'true' cage total) and the adjacent digit within the cage (which determines the column of the 'true' cage total).
For example, if R1C2 was a 4 and R2C2 was a 3, then the digits in the cage beginning in R1C2 would sum to 8 (which is the cage total given in R4C3).
Digits do not repeat along the marked diagonal.

Cute! If I may offer one minor quibble, it's that determining which cage had which total didn't take very much effort, which felt bad to me as a solver.

Nice and simple! Almost too quick a solve; I found myself with a craving for more of this cool ruleset :D

Didn't find this straight forward for a 6x6 - but I think the puzzle rating is undeservedly low.

Cute idea! Very quick solve for me. While the rules were interesting, some of the clues ended up not being used, which was a bit strange.
============================
Thanks for the feedback! This was honestly more a test of concept than anything, but I thought I should get a feel for people’s thoughts about the ruleset :D

Easy puzzle, almost trivial
