Needle is an option in the Capital Gains ending of Completing the Mission.
Henry Stickmin punctures the balloon with a needle, which causes the money cargo to fall and crush Henry and Ellie Rose, while the Right Hand Man saves himself using his rocket feet, remarking Henry to be an "idiot".

What was the POINT of that?
...Not the SHARPest idea.
Gonna PIN the blame on you for that one.
Did you really NEEDLE that money?
[Alright that one was a stretch]
Trivia[]
- Much like the Hack option from the Pure Blooded Thief route from Infiltrating the Airship, this option's fail screen displays several puns:
- The first line comes from a pun on "point" as in "purpose" and "point" as in the end of a sharp object.
- The second line comes from "sharp" meaning "smart" and "sharp" as in "terminating in a point or edge, especially one that can cut easily; not obtuse or rounded."
- The third line comes from the verb "to pin the blame on" meaning "to accuse" and "a pin," which refers to a tiny ball with a small nail with a very thin, sharp point.
- The fourth line uses "needle" instead of "need" and "all", to make "need all that money" since they sound very similar.
