how do you get to be Super Knuckles?
Becoming Super Knuckles is a spiritual process that only a select few Knuckles can attain.
First they must find the Mastuh Emerool, for they must serve as it's protector.
Upon completion of this task, one Knuckles must wait for a mythical blue rodent to appear, bearing the 7 Chaos as gifts.
When this time arrives, the Knuckles offers claims the 7 Chaos from the blue rodent, chuckling as he bids the rodent a safe journey home.
With the 7 Chaos and the Mastuh Emerool together again, the Knuckles can now isolate himself or herself in prayer. For the servers are the 7 Chaos. Chaos is power. Power enriched by the heart.
Upon completion of the prayer sermons, the Knuckles will be capable of tapping into the power of Chaos, ascending to the highest position in all of Knuckles kind - the Super Knuckles.
The Super Knuckles leads the Knuckles clan in prosperity for 100 years, before preparing a successor.
There is a myth some try to spread of an even higher authourity in Knuckles kind, referred to as the "Hyper Knuckles", but it's considered non-sensical babble and you should chuckle and, depending on the severity of the heresy, flex your muscles in the face of anyone who dare to bring this up.
