These can usually be obtained by meeting the character at a certain event, with which kind of background is available being dependent on what the event is. Some backgrounds have been available through other means, such as the Exclusive Background, which could be obtained from a code, which was available through real-life events. Others are given out by characters who are meetable as mascots, such as Gary's Giveaway.
