Flattening

CONCEPT

Flattening is taking something three dimensional, and somehow making it very thin almost two dimensional. It can be used for comedic effect or a character to use it to fight through tight spaces.

Note for games in which the characters seem to be "born flat" (Like PaRappa) or flat throughout the game (Paper Mario), put them under the 2D concept.
