lol yeah I was kinda thinking that.
Little info update about this game -- I've encountered some new "gates" last night. Most are made of 4 colored crystals (red, blue, green, yellow, purple) that correspond to the different Rider's elements, but last night I found a gate that had 2 blue crystals and 2 red, I'm thinking you need 2 players to get through these gates. I've also run into a couple of Rider specific gates that have 2 white crystals and a Rider symbol in silver, (Drive's R, Gaim's head crest, Wizard's magic glyph) so far I haven't found any gates that have kept me from finishing a level, but I'm sure this will likely happen soon. I'm not sweating it though, I've got the first wave of figure/chip sets on the way to me in the mail.
