Apiston[1][2] is a machine that first appears inYoshi's Story. In theMecha Castle, pistons appear in pairs and try to crush an unsuspectingYoshi passing between. If a Yoshi is crushed, he is defeated instantly and lost as a result. Not even theSuper Happy form can protect the Yoshi from this hazard.

A different-looking type of piston[3][4] appears inWario Land 4. If a piston squishesWario, it transforms him intoFlat 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 factorylevels (such asThe Curious Factory) and somepink areas. There is always aDecompressor or a body ofwater that returns Wario to his normal size and shape.

Pistons return inSuper Mario Bros. Wonder as hazardous objects that appear in only one level:Fluff-Puff Peaks Flying Battleship. IfMario is crushed by a piston, he reverts toSmall Mario and loses a life immediately after.
