Is there a better way of getting past destructible obstacles like rocks and pillars that doesn't involve hitting them like a 100 times? It's an incredibly tedious obstacle without any challenge or interest, it just takes time and mindless effort, and they're everywhere! Honestly, what were the designers thinking when they put this in the game?

Please tell me there's a faster or better way to get past these blocks.

Ah wait, I found it.

You need to use "power punch" on the D key, which breaks the obstacles in one or two hits, instead of 50-100... and of course since this is old school design this is not explained anywhere in the actual game... Should have read the manual I guess.
