	''Portal'' did not feature pistons until late in the game, during Chell's escape. In ''Portal'', pistons serve primarily as a hazard, as a player who is caught between a piston and a wall will be crushed and killed. That said, there are times where Pistons are instrumental to a player's success, such as providing a bridge in [[Portal Escape (Part 1)\|Escape 1]] or propelling the player through a portal in [[Portal Escape (Part 2)\|Escape 2]].
