Rather than come up with original characters for bit parts or crowd scenes, Shine pulls the character designs from other series. Back in the day, there was a contest to see who could track down the most. Here are the final rankings.

In the new archive, cameos are tagged and identified, so the contest is no longer active. (But if you spot a familiar face in the background that isn’t tagged, feel free to comment and point it out!)
