Smooth Terrain ala Tiny Wings

Hi all. I have been trying to find the best way to create the appearance of smooth terrain that will work with a physics-based game.

What I am looking for is something like Tiny Wings. Rolling hills with a simple pattern fill. I found a nice tutorial for Box2d and Flash but I am not sure I would be able to translate this to Construct2. The whole level is basically made up of slices. Each slice being a portion of the hill with a 4-sided collision polygon.

Here were my initial thoughts:

1. Create a base set of tiles to piece together hills

      + Simple

      + Perhaps possible to automate generation of slices

      - Super tedious to manage            

      - Would need to create duplicate tile sets for each pattern fill

      - Probably not performant and would require I load everything dynamically to keep the amount of physics objects to a minimum

2. Try ditching physics and faking it

      + Solves my terrain problem

      + Probably better performance wise

      - Requires me to simulate everything I get for free with physics

3. I have overlooked something painfully obvious (which is highly likely)

Thanks for any help!

It might be possible to do something by using square sprites and rotating them to the angle of the path. The problem then is how to fill in a color below them.

Thanks for the reply. After playing around with things, I think it will work out better anyways without physics. This allows me to use the built-in platform behavior and allows for more control over what the player does.
