Apparently it's not about speed, but about knowing the land.

Pacha explains that he just takes shortcuts, causing Kuzco to ask him to tell him about the shortcuts next time.

* In ''VideoGame/MarkOfTheNinja'', Ora is always right behind you, even when it's logically impossible for her to take the same route as you. At one point, she says she'll find another route and catch up with you, (and while there are two routes after she says this, both become inaccessible when you collapse the grapple platforms before them) but it's usually ignored. This is justified by the fact that [[spoiler:she doesn't actually exist.]]

** ''VideoGame/TacticsOgreTheKnightOfLodis'' does something similar, but explicitly equips plot-critical characters with "Teleportation stones" that are noted to move the holder away from danger should they face mortal peril. Naturally, these can never be obtained by the player.

* Used extensively in both ''VideoGame/MiddleEarthShadowOfMordor'' and ''VideoGame/MiddleEarthShadowOfWar''. If a Humiliator captain decides you're NotWorthKilling, they taunt a kneeling Talion before walking off-camera and promptly vanishing. And if a newly [[MindControl Dominated]] captain is given orders, Talion shoves them behind him, causing them to stumble out of frame before de-spawning. In both cases it's so the captain in question can exit the scene properly without being chased down by the player or killed by the environment.

** Less justified in the ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil2'' remake with [[ImplacableMan Mr. X]], who can suddenly move across the map far faster than he should be able to walk thanks to this. Mechanically, the game handles this by despawning him and respawning him elsewhere, but a rare bug may prevent the game from despawning him which will result in ''two'' of them suddenly being present.
