How to approach it
Work the five rosters in passes rather than chasing one favourite. A first pass gives playable heroes and headline villains for free. A second covers bosses, mid-bosses and enemy types, especially those whose names carry a qualifier word. A third goes after NPCs who appear in one scene, shop staff, mounts and figures documented mainly in manuals, regional localisations or spin-off side modes. Stop at the first name you can source, not the first you half-remember. Test it three ways: it must be an individual entity rather than a title, place, item or move; it must originate in one of the five series rather than arrive through a crossover; and you must be able to spell it as the games do. A defensible obscure entry beats a famous one you cannot place.
Get a hint
Scale matters here: the pool runs to thousands of named entities, so the real task is not recall but navigation, deciding which layer of the roster you are searching before you start naming.
A little more
Move past the cover art. The middle layers, meaning boss rooms, mid-bosses, qualified enemy variants and staff who run a single shop, hold far more names than the playable cast, and most of them are individually named.
One step further
Go one step further into material that only exists in manuals, regional localisations, spin-off boards or one-line cameos, and pick a name you could point to a source for; that is the stratum where the very top of this list sits.

Why these answers count
Nearly everything that made the reveal scored well: 9821 of the 9874 recorded entries cleared sixty points, and the examples show the 85 band swallowing almost the entire field, with 13-Amp, 18-Volt, 5-Volt, Ace, Acro and Ado sitting there alongside hundreds of comparably deep cuts. Scoring of that shape is not a fame contest; it reads as a reach test, asking whether you left the obvious cast at all. Only one entry, Stanley, reached 100, which suggests the list reserved its top mark for a single deepest-cut pick rather than a whole tier of them. The 527 entries at 60 form the one visibly lower band, and their size points to the safe answers: legitimate picks so standard that they prove recall and nothing more. Everything above that collapses into a flat 85, so once you have gone past the front rank, going further buys no extra credit.
