* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: The compositions played during the challenges. There was BackgroundMusic that matched every possible type of challenge (dangerous, funny, underwater, industrial, etc.). Not only that, the composers ''never'' used the same challenge music twice in one episode except for maybe the first couple of shows. In addition, the composers usually played their keyboards along with the background music, ensuring that a piece would never sound the same twice and at times even providing VariableMix.
