The '''Compressor''',{{ref needed}} also known as a '''piston''',<ref>''Nintendo Power Advance'' V.3, page 57.</ref><ref>M. Arakawa. ''Yoshi's Story'' Player's Guide. Pages 112 and 114.</ref> is a machine in the [[Wario Land (series)|''Wario Land'']] series. When [[Wario]] walks under one, the piston squishes Wario and transforms him into [[Flat Wario]], allowing him to crawl into small spaces. Despite its effects, they do not harm Wario or any enemy in any sort of way. These objects mainly appear in factory levels (such as [[The Curious Factory]]) and some [[Puzzle Room]]s. There is always a [[Decompressor]] or a body of water that returns Wario to his normal size and shape.
The '''piston'''<ref>''Yoshi's Story'' source code name (<tt>actor_piston</tt>)</ref><ref>M. Arakawa. ''Yoshi's Story'' Player's Guide. Pages 112 and 114.</ref> is a machine that first appears in ''[[Yoshi's Story]]''. In [[Mecha Castle]], they appear in pairs and try to crush an unsuspecting [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]] passing between. If a Yoshi is crushed, it will be defeated instantly and lost as a result. Even the [[Super Happy]] form cannot protect the Yoshi from this hazard.
