Fair and simple, I think alot of the calculations in the UNDERTALE page are wrong.
Pyrope's Bomb
The calculation is using 20 PSI for no apparent reason. This should be replaced with a lower PSI as the explosion causes no visible destruction and doesn't even kill Frisk when they get hit. There's no justification for the usage of 20PSI.
Undyne's oven explodes
There is no evidence for this being a explosion, we see how Toby portrays explosions on multiple occasions, and it's nothing like in here. The feat is simply the oven going out of control, overheating and the fire off it spreading around the room and increasing the temperature. It's also illogical to begin with considering said (currently) "small building" explosion/fire did not even burn the wood table, chair, door or anything close to it.
PS: The calculation also forgot to take into account the surface area of Frisk and Undyne which would make the result far lower.
Knight Knight Summons Meteors
The feat assumes the meteors are moving at Mach 5 because they are "on fire", that doesn't work because that's already assuming the reason they are on fire is because of the force exerted by Knight Knight to make them move that fast which is unsubstantiated. The "meteors" are on fire the moment they are summoned:
(Video of the meteors being summoned)
This is simply magic being used, there's no proof said fire is produced by raw speed.
Mettaton Destroys Metal Wall
The space that the hole leads to is only a few feet wide (because Mettaton had to be there), the wall is likely a shallow wall made it so Mettaton can break through it. Toby confirmed this in the 10th anniversary stream to be a indicator that everything that was hapenning was fake as it gets confirmed later in the route that it was orchestrated by Alphys. The feat just isn't valid.
It has been agreed that this feat will be discussed in a CRT instead of a CGM thread due to being more viewed on lore interpretations. (Comment)
Flowey moves an elevator at subsonic speeds
This calculation relies on far too many assumptions. The timeframe used for the kinetic energy is “6.73333333333” seconds, based on the timeframe of the video itself, but that doesn’t hold up. The video does not show the entire thing, it cuts midway through and then time-skips to a point where Frisk is already out of the elevator. The previous version of the calculation attempted to use "15 seconds", but there is zero evidence supporting that number either. We simply do not have a reliable timeframe, so giving it any value is nothing more than headcanon and unjustified overscaling. I also wanna point out that Flowey is shown to be able to use multiple vines, and when the door is closed we see multiple of them covering it, so the feat of lifting in itself would be divided by an unknown amount of vines and would be, therefore, incalculable.
Ice Cap created large ice cones
The calculation is fine up until the final part, where it uses "2638880 J/kg" for the creation of the ice. That isn't how you calculate ice creation from nothing, as it is using the energy required to freeze water into ice, Ice Cap did not freeze water into ice, it was ice created from nothing via his magic. The better and correct method would be to use the atmosphere, as shown in this calculation. (Note: This issue has already been addressed for a similar feat earlier in this thread)
Mettaton EX's supersonic kicks
First off I wanna point out that the calculation is just wrong.
The feat is breaking one of the current Kinetic Energy rules:
This is one of the cases where it's completely invalid to do this as there's nothing making it clear that the speed of the movement is the reason his attacks are so strong, in-fact, the complete opposite happens, the "supersonic legs" do the same exact damage as legs that are barely moving, Kinetic Energy has nothing and was never meant to do with the potency of the attack in this case so using it to calculate the potency of the attack is nothing short of weird. Another possibility is that, as I already pointed out in the first part and wanna point out here aswell with how the "leg attacks" stop happening after Mettaton loses his legs, it is very likely that the leg attacks in general are likely just representations of Mettaton attacking with his actual legs which would make using it's kinetic energy even more invalid.
This obviously also applies to the lifting strength section of the feat and not just the AP, but I also wanna point out that those kicks are moving at linear speed theres no shown acceleration or force so it is also calculated wrongly regardless.
This point would likely also apply to this, this calculation and maybe this one aswell (However this one I'm not so sure)
NOTE: I wanna point out that Armor, a Calc Group member, also had other issues with the calculation in the comments, I don't wanna repeat them here but they should be brought up.
TLDR of the calculations:

Mettaton EX's supersonic kicks
First off I wanna point out that the calculation is just wrong.
- Despite the pixel scaling being correct, it makes no sense and is extremely inconsistent for Mettaton's leg to be "6 meters" in length. Despite it "not being connected to Mettaton" as it's his attacks, it is shown that once he loses his legs, he no longer uses any leg attacks so the intent is that they are indeed supposed to be the same legs he has at least in proportions, and his legs are not 6 meters in length at all.
- It uses 100% steel for Mettaton's leg for it's density so it can get it's weight. Robots are not 100% steel at all and regardless, even if they were, Mettaton EX's body should not be made out of steel. It is confirmed by the Check stats that the reason Mettaton Box has such a high defense and can't be damaged at all by Frisk's attacks is because of how durable his metal body is, this is even repeated three times across every encounter. Meanwhile, Mettaton's EX body can be damaged by Frisk's regular attacks so it being made out of steel makes absolutely no sense narratively considering
metal was already too durable for Frisk. | CORRECTION: As brought up by @SnakesCity in this comment , Mettaton EX does still have some metal in his body via this dialogue, so it being metal is not entirely wrong however the one being used (steel) is still wrong regardless and a lower metal would be used, but as I will say in the next paragraph, it doesn't really matter considering the feat is completely invalid.
The feat is breaking one of the current Kinetic Energy rules:
Kinetic Energy based on Movement Speed is case by case: Fiction often treats the speed with which a character can move himself as unrelated to their attack power. As such feats like just running or carrying a small object, like another character, should only be used if the fiction has made clear that the speed of the movement correlates to the character's power or if the character uses the fast moving object to attack. Calculating the energy necessary for moving large structures at great speeds, using the speed things move as a secondary effect of an attack, throwing objects at great speeds etc. are all acceptable methods of quantifying a characters power regardless.
This obviously also applies to the lifting strength section of the feat and not just the AP, but I also wanna point out that those kicks are moving at linear speed theres no shown acceleration or force so it is also calculated wrongly regardless.
This point would likely also apply to this, this calculation and maybe this one aswell (However this one I'm not so sure)
