1) Just Expert. *tough*
2) About 71. Loved every minute of it.
3) Oh yes, every last one.
4) Oh yes, and it's so cool.
5) Usually 3-4, 5 a couple times, then 1-2 by the time you get to Level 100 and the Heartless just don't stand a chance anymore. Save for a couple crazy-hard side-bosses, of course.
6) Neverland, baby. Every single part of it was pure love except how they introduced the Crocodile. And once the gang gets into the upper upper levels, fighting in the Coliseum tournaments becomes a great pleasure, too.
7) I tell ya it was all good, but it was pretty disorienting when Sora and the gang were first dumped into Atlantica and had to get a grip on the controls for ascent and descent while swimming. The fact that the Mermaid Kick ability interferes with the rising motion didn't help much, either.
8) All things considered... Tigger.
9) Oh yes indeed.
