| | The '''Compressor''' is an object in the [[Wario Land (series)|''Wario Land'']] series. When [[Wario]] walks under one, the Compressor 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. |

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.

| 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.
| | 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, it will be defeated instantly, and lost as a result. Even the [[Super Happy Yoshi]] form cannot protect the Yoshi from this hazard. |
| | |
| 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.
