Also...

Kingdom Valley sucks no matter who I'm playing. I got through it with Silver without game overing, but now I'm down to 0 lives.

Also, Silver is my adorkable badass proto-pimp hero. Plus I find it hilariously fitting it looks like everyone with a Chaos Emerald (except Elise) appears to be pulling it out of their ass when they take them out.

[EDIT] Finished Silver's story. ;_;
