Trivia Edit
- Shining Swarm used to be named Silver Swarm, but when the Quicksilvers replaced the Gliding Glaciers, the Swarm was renamed to Shining Swarm so that there weren't two team names that mentioned silver.
- The team rode a fidget spinner twice during the Fidget Spinner Collision event, the same event in which the team earned their first and so far only gold medal.
- The @MarbleLympics Twitter, in a retweet of the JMRC's poll of who would win the 2019 MarbleLympics, responded to the poll by writing "Shining Swarm." This response poked fun at the fact that the team is relatively unknown and often forgotten by the fanbase due to only being in one MarbleLympics and only medaling once in that year.
