- Characters — A chair with a sign that says "$??" appears. "So Characters, you were in a movie recently." {leans toward the 'camera'} "Tell us about that."
- Downloads — A golden statue of The Cheat appears. "My next guest is an extremely talented webpage. Please welcome Downloads!" Pom Pom bounces past wearing a name tag that says "downloads" while music plays.
- Store — "But if you guess correctly, you'll win... a new store!" The background lifts, revealing the Gremlin.
