This is when a character is quite literally paper-thin, as if they were a paper cutout. This can also apply to normally three-dimensional characters who have been flattened as a result of, say, a 300-pound weight being dropped on them. Not to be confused with Flat Character. |

In episode 35a of Jewelpet: Magical Change, a side-effect brought on by Sakutaro's Cool Watches is that the humanized Jewelpets become paper thin. It escalates to them being unable to move at all a minute or so later. | |

Descent is notable for being the first First-Person Shooter with polygon enemies. This is made possible by all enemies being rather edgy Starfish Robots. The (human) hostages you have to rescue would require too much polygons, so they are made of sprites like in Doom. To give these sprites an appearance of depth, their height is scaled depending on the angle you view them from. This has the drawback that they appear to be absolutely flat when viewed from above or below. The original campaign avoids this by placing them always in rooms with a low ceiling, but Paper People are an often seen graphical glitch in user made levels. | |

On certain stages, all characters have the same flattening effect applied to them, those being: all incarnations of Flat Zone, Hanenbow, Mute City SNES, PAC-LAND, Duck Huntnote Only in For Wii U/3DS; its reappearance in Ultimate changes this to just having the illusion described following, and Super Mario Maker. The same applies to their Omega and Battlefield forms, which unfortunately means those specific ones are not allowed in tournaments because the 2D effect makes hit boxes work differently. Some other stages, such as Dream Land GB, use the camera angle to imitate this effect without actually having it. | |

Dungeons & Dragons: Second Edition has the duo-dimension spell, which lets a character use this trope. The follow-up spell duo-dimensional blade gives you a blade that has been Sharpened to a Single Atom. The latter power appeared in later editions as well.

Maxie's World: In "Fat Chance", Ashley is on the verge of developing anorexia when she has two nightmares. In one, she is morbidly obese and growing and is the subject of mockery and disgust. In the other, she is known as the human paper doll and flat as paper. Offers for interviews and contracts come her way, but she realizes it's not because she's popular but because she's a genuine freak. Her nightmare comes to an end when the wind blows her away. | |

Paper Mario: Almost everyone is literally a paper cutout. And so are most objects and such, which even act as such. Turned into a gameplay element in the second game, Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door: Mario can turn into a paper airplane, turn sideways to fit through cracks (and even has to hop to move around in said form) and several other curses. In Super Paper Mario, Mario can enter 3D mode to pass hidden paths hidden behind 2D foregrounds. Paper Mario: Sticker Star takes this even further. The characters are well aware they're made of paper, and take advantage of it whenever they can, such as folding themselves into a cone, a staircase, and a wheel, among others. Paper Mario: Color Splash takes it a step further again, portraying colour as the literal lifeblood of the Paper Mario universe. Paper Mario: The Origami King takes it into a darker step, as many of the characters are folded into origami soldiers against their will by a genocidal monarch known as Olly, the Origami King, as all the origami he folds causes so much destruction to the whole Paper Mario world wherever he goes. |

Futurama: From a show within a show: "Father! The kidnappers cut off one of my dimensions!" In The Beast with a Billion Backs, Fry and his date go on a 2D Tunnel of Love ride. One of the episodes in the reboot seasons has the Planet Express ship and its crew involved in an accident at relativistic speeds, and the professor had recently installed a dimensional drift drive. It results in them being reduced to 2 dimensions. |

Several strangers from Goodbye Strangers have flat bodies. The satsumon appear to be a living Chalk Outline and the socioponzy appears to be a giant sheet of paper cut into the vague shape of a stranger. There is enough of them for "Flat" to be one of the types in the Pokémon-like Zeroworld game. The same setting also has the Animalarians and Alphabetarians which look like childish drawings of animals and living letters respectively, but those are only a small projection of very abstract higher dimensional beings. | |

The Amazing World of Gumball: Teri is a crumpled paper cutout of a teddy bear. Her clothes and face are drawn onto her, and she can change either with a pencil. Most of her body is a flat object that moves in 3D space, but her face is like an Animated Tattoo on her head. Wilson Bilson is also pencil on paper, but animated much differently than Teri. His entire body is a sketch, animated in two dimensions, which is projected on a background of notepad paper that follows him and contours to the movement of his body. Said sketch is quite slipshod, combining a band leader, male bodybuilder, goth, and female cheerleader, which gives him some rather contradictory personality traits. A joke in "The Sweaters" had one of the badly-animated background characters in Richwood Stadium take a tennis ball to the face, then topple over like a cardboard cutout. A sketch in "The Extras" revisits them, showing that they're all cutouts that can move back and forth, but have their body parts stuck in the same relative position. This proves extremely inconvenient for the two the sketch focuses on as they attempt to eat and watch the game. Eventually, one tries to move, which succeeds and grants him depth and the ire of those around him. |

Spider-Man: Piper Dali got caught in her father's experiment with dimensions and ended up flattened. Becoming the villainess called Paper Doll, she's capable of camouflaging herself as she stalks an actor she developed an obsessive crush on and kills any critics by flattening them to death. Because she's flat she's also razor sharp, and thus can easily slash away Spidey's webbing. She notably has to take careful breaths. | |

In "Dungeons & Discord", once transported to the RPG world by Discord's magic, the evil Squizard and his mooks still appear as flat cardboard panels, although animated, looking just like the cardboard tokens drawn by Spike for the game. |

Specifically, whenever she escapes a hail of blows from even the quickest and most powerful of the characters in the over-the-top narrative, she appears as a paper person rotating around her vertical access, giving the appearance that she is forever being blown away just out of the reach of the in-rushing attacks. | |

Super Smash Bros.: Mr. Game & Watch takes the original Game & Watch style and goes with it. He's a completely 2-dimensional character, though he's actually a 3D model made to look 2D. On certain stages, all characters have the same flattening effect applied to them, those being: all incarnations of Flat Zone, Hanenbow, Mute City SNES, PAC-LAND, Duck Huntnote Only in For Wii U/3DS; its reappearance in Ultimate changes this to just having the illusion described following, and Super Mario Maker. The same applies to their Omega and Battlefield forms, which unfortunately means those specific ones are not allowed in tournaments because the 2D effect makes hit boxes work differently. Some other stages, such as Dream Land GB, use the camera angle to imitate this effect without actually having it. |
