History Acrofatic / VideoGames

* In the ''WesternAnimation/BeavisAndButtHead'' LicensedGame for the UsefulNotes/SegaGenesis, there's Big Tex from the level based on ''Bedpans and Boomsticks'' from the show who has [[PlotCoupon a piece of the tickets to the GWAR concert]]. To get the ticket piece from him, Beavis and Butthead must steal his electric scooter and lure him into falling down a flight of stairs when he chases them down. The level is [[NintendoHard much harder than it looks]], as just like in the cartoon, Big Tex is able to move very fast despite his weight and if you make too many mistakes and he catches up [[OneHitKill he'll jump on the scooter, destroying it.]]

** Pyros are fairly portly themselves or at least wear baggy clothing, and yet are notorious for how fast they can move. They move at the average speed normally, and faster than any non-[[FragileSpeedster Scout]] class if they're holding the [[DropTheHammer Powerjack]].

** The Elephant power-up in ''VideoGame/SuperMarioBrowWonder'' turns any member of Mario's gang capable of using power-ups (all of them except Yoshi and Nabbit) into a huge elephant. Despite their new size, they retain all of their movement options, including wall jumps, spin jumps, and whatever other power they may have from their equipped Badge.

* ''VideoGame/RagingJustice'' have the overweight GiantMook enemies whose bellies literally bulge out of their sides (two debuting in the second stage as a DualBoss before getting {{degraded|boss}} into common enemies later) who can run and jump surprisingly fast despite their girth. There's also [[spoiler: Mayor Wilson]], the BigBad who's a mountain of fat towering over you, but can run back and forth at rapid pace around the boss arena while trying to slice you up via {{chainsaw|good}}.

* Murray from the ''VideoGame/SlyCooper'' series qualifies when you play as him from the second game on. He can jump through the air and sidle along walls just as sneakily as Sly can.

* Bob in ''VideoGame/{{Tekken}} 6''. Justified as [[StoutStrength much of his considerable bulk is actually muscle]]. He's a Sammo Hung tribute. According to his backstory, Bob was once a very fit fighter who wanted to take his skills to the next level, and developed his body accordingly; implicitly, he was ''less'' agile before he gained all that weight. You can use the average-build version of Bob in ''Tekken Tag Tournament 2'' (he's still pretty nimble but some of his moves account for weight he no longer has, which trips him up and changes some of the properties of his moves).

* ''VideoGame/{{Warcraft}}'s'' Pandaren are a whole race fitting this trope. They are all obese, and there's even dialogue in-game where they discuss openly ''wanting'' to gain more weight because their strength, one claims, is tied to the size of their belly. Even still, they are one of the most agile creatures in Azeroth, known across the world for their exceptional agility and fast-paced fighting style.

* Ben of ''VideoGame/ZenlessZoneZero'' is both extremely large and extremely fat as a bear [[BeastMan demi-human]]. He runs just as fast as the rest of the cast, if by covering more ground with each step as a normal-sized humanoid, and can swing his weapon, a giant pile driver, with incredibly lethal speed and agility.

* ''VideoGame/StreetFighterXTekken'' has JokeCharacter Bad Box Art Megaman, who is a middle-aged, overweight man in an ill-fitting jumpsuit, yet he is surprisingly athletic. He is based on the infamous North American NES cover art for the original ''VideoGame/MegaMan1'' game where instead of appearing as an adorable blue robot boy, he had appeared as a hideous, out-of-shape man in spandex with weird legs.

*** In ''Videogame/PokemonSunAndMoon'', Snorlax gains the [[LimitBreak Z-Move]] "Pulverizing Pancake", where it wakes up, does a flip to its feet and proceeds to run at its enemy at top speed before jumping up into the air and sitting on them.

** According to the Pokedex entries, Hydreigon spends all its time [[BigEater eating everything in sight with its three snake heads]], all of which goes to one bloated body somehow able to fly with those six skinny little wings... and what do you mean, it has a base 98 speed?! It's also able to use both Acrobatics and U-Turn, which are otherwise reserved for the more agile-looking fliers.

** With its [[SuperMode Mega Evolution]], Metagross takes the crown for this trope in the Pokémon series thus far. It weighs almost ''one metric ton'', making it the ''second'' heaviest Pokémon right after Groudon while being as fast as ''Gengar''.

** Miltank is big and fat like you would expect a cow to be... but it has a base Speed stat of 100.
