[@mcmann7149]

@@wombatZ The particles have collision physics with 47. This can allow him to get into places where he wasn't supposed to get to. Because of how 47 moves in the game world, areas that you aren't supposed to be in don't have a check for fall damage. This allows speedrunners to take odd paths.
