Abuse Physics Engine is an option in Completing the Mission during the Toppat 4 Life ending.
When chosen, Henry slides a rock against a palm tree. It behaves erratically, building momentum, causing the rock to launch vertically, gaining enough distance for Henry to disembark at the top.
Trivia[]
- This is a reference to video game glitches that people exploit in order to finish the game faster and/or easier.
- The Wallclip option was also a physics engine abuse which is based off of speedrunning strategies where the runner goes through the walls.
- This specific method is used by many speedrunners where they could causing some physics glitch by speeding up some objects to shorten the time.
- This might be a reference to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, as the game has an option called "Stasis", which can freeze objects in time, and send them thrown in the appropriate direction the player chooses. Speedrunners of the game use rocks, ironically, freeze them, and launch themselves across the map to get around quickly. A method that players use not mentioned here is a bullet-time launch.
- It could also be a reference to Super Mario Odyssey, where speedrunners can use a glitch to convert vertical distance into horizontal distance.
