| A '''piston'''<ref>{{cite|language=en-us|publisher=Nintendo of America|date=1998|author=Leung, Jason, Terry Munson, and Scott Pelland|title=''Yoshi's Story'' Player's Guide|page=112 and 114}}</ref><ref>{{cite|deadlink=y|archive=web.archive.org/web/19990508195736/http://www.yoshisstory.com/6-1.html|title=Mecha Castle|publisher=''Yoshi's Story'' official North American website|accessdate=July 6, 2024|language=en-us}}</ref> is a machine that first appears in ''[[Yoshi's Story]]''. In the [[Mecha Castle]], pistons appear in pairs and try to crush an unsuspecting [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]] passing between. If a Yoshi is crushed, he is defeated instantly and lost as a result. Not even the [[Super Happy]] form can protect the Yoshi from this hazard.
| | The '''Compressor''' is an object in the [[Wario Land (series)|''Wario Land'']] series. In the games, when [[Wario]] walks under one, the Compressor squishes Wario and changes his form to [[Flat Wario]]. Despite its effects, they do not harm Wario or any enemy in any sort of way. These objects mainly appear in factory levels. There is always a [[Recompressor]] or a body of water that returns Wario to his normal size and shape. |

| A different-looking type of piston<ref>{{cite|date=Fall 2001|title=''Nintendo Power Advance'' Volume 3|page=57|language=en-us|publisher=Nintendo of America}}</ref><ref>{{cite|author=Wessel, Craig|title=''[[Warioland 4 (book)|Warioland 4]]''|page=29|language=en-us|publisher=[[Scholastic]]|isbn=0-439-36711-5}}</ref> appears in ''[[Wario Land 4]]''. If a piston squishes [[Wario]], it transforms him into [[Flat Wario]], allowing him to crawl into small spaces. Pistons do not harm Wario or any enemy in any sort of way. These objects mainly appear in factory [[level]]s (such as [[The Curious Factory]]) and some [[pink area]]s. There is always a [[Decompressor]] or a body of [[water]] that returns Wario to his normal size and shape.

| Pistons return in ''[[Super Mario Bros. Wonder]]'' as hazardous objects that appear in only one level: [[Fluff-Puff Peaks Flying Battleship]]. If [[Mario]] is crushed by a piston, he reverts to [[Small Mario]] and loses a life immediately after.

| | Compressors also appear in [[Yoshi's Story]] in the level [[Mecha Castle]]. They appear in pairs and try to crush an unsuspecting [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]] passing between. If a Yoshi is crushed, its health (represented by the petals of a flower) is depleted. |
